Using adrenaline in cardiac arrests results in less than one percent more people leaving hospital alive
A clinical trial of the use of adrenaline in cardiac arrests has found that its use results in less than 1 percent more people leaving hospital alive -- but almost doubles the risk of severe brain damage for survivors of cardiac arrest. The research raises important questions about the future use of adrenaline in such cases and will necessitate debate amongst healthcare professionals, patients and the public. -
Sahara dust may make you cough, but it's a storm killer

A peek into the interplay between sleep and wakefulness
The ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO) in the brain plays a critical role in the initiation and maintenance of sleep, while the lateral posterior part of the hypothalamus contains neuronal populations implicated in maintenance of arousal. Now, a new study reveals that these arousal-related neurons are heavily innervated by GABAergic neurons in the preoptic area including the VLPO. The work provides important information to understand the mechanisms that control animals' sleep/wakefulness stat -

Effect of genetic factors on nutrition: The genes are not to blame
Individualized dietary recommendations based on genetic information are currently a popular trend.
