Diabetes 1 Vaccine Created

The diabetes 1 vaccine has been created by the staff at Stanford University School of Medicine in collaboration with the colleagues from research centers in the USA, Australia and the Netherlands.

An international team of scientists has developed a vaccine that programs the immune system not to attack the cells that produce insulin. Under the influence of the DNA, other immune cells stop inflammatory response, targeted against the pancreas cells.

The drug was tested on 80 volunteers, who were given intramuscular injections of the vaccine during the period of 12 weeks. As a result, the cells, opposed to proinsulin, disappeared, and the blood levels of peptides increased. This meant that the production and maturation of proinsulin was getting back to norm. No adverse effects on the immune system were identified.

The action of the vaccine lasts for 2 months. The scientists plan to continue testing the vaccine with a larger number of participants in order to increase its validity.

Singing Health Benefits

Feeling free, stress treatment and face lifting – these are just a few reasons motivating people to do vocals.

According to psychologists, the best possible way to improve the quality of your life is just to start enjoying it. Singing is the tool to get joy from life. According to experts, it is a part of an “antidepressant” package along with yoga, psychotherapeutic sessions, and fitness.

In recent years, serious and established adults take up vocals more and more often – not only for the mythical professional singing career, but to solve specific problems – psychological and physiological. It’s the same as anti-depressants, but with no side effects. This is how it works.


Regular vocal classes (2-3 times a week for several months) will not only make you a karaoke star (if you want it, of course), but will also give real health benefits.

Lung ventilation

Working on the proper breathing techniques saturates the blood with oxygen. During the first sessions, you may even get dizzy. The functioning of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems improves, as does the skin tone. Vocal lessons relieve simple forms of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and tonsillitis.

Speech improvement

Many attend such classes not for singing, but to start talking normally. In singing, rhythm is very important. That’s why it is useful for those who work with people, have a quiet voice and slurred speech. Vocal and speech therapy can help with stuttering, as well. After all, the main directions of speech therapy and vocals are alike – overcoming neck stiffness, active work of lips and tongue, short breaths and long breaths, air flow control.

Toned body

The proper singing posture eventually becomes a conditioned reflex. Back straight, shoulders back, tummy drawn in. Instead of an office “hook” we get a majestic, beautiful silhouette to make the enemies jealous.

Facelift

A singer is constantly “working” on his or her face, and it produces a noticeable anti-aging effect: facial muscles are in tone, a person looks much younger than his age.

Managing emotions

Singing teaches to control yourself. This is a very useful skill to help out in many difficult situations.

Intimate Aesthetic Surgery for Women

Aesthetically challenged intimate organs can cause deep anxiety and complexes, which, in turn, leads to problems in sexual life. Intimate aesthetic surgery allows you to visually enhance them and bring back self-confidence.

Labiaplasty Surgery

Labia minora reduction, or labiaplasty surgery, allows you to adjust the size and shape of the external female genital organ, and is one of the most popular types of intimate surgery today. Women go to the doctor with complaints about the appearance of the labia that they want to reduce, to make them neater and more aesthetic. Furthermore, this procedure can be recommended for health reasons.

Labia corection may be needed due to congenital or acquired injuries, childbirth, aging. In addition to reducing the size, labioplasty can make labia symmetrical, get rid of sagging and excessive pigmentation. The operation is performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts from 30 minutes to an hour, with the average of 40 minutes. The sex organ takes its final form in 2-3 months after the procedure.

Vaginal Surgery


Vaginoplasty is meant to reduce the size of the vagina. The need for such operation occurs mainly because of the desire to return the excitement of sexual sensation. At the same time, this problem is not just sexual. Uterine prolapse, urinary incontinence, abdomen pain and heaviness, gases may also be the result of over-sized vagina and a cause for surgery. With age, these problems tend to get worse.

Vaginoplasty is dependent on the physiological parameters of the body. Thus, for vaginal wall prolapse, extension or sagging, colporrhaphy is used to reduce the diameter and volume throughout the vagina to the cervix. The procedure increases its elasticity and enhance muscular frame. If vagina walls maintain firmness and elasticity, and only the entrance is expanded, the procedure of suturing the vaginal entrance is used, creating the effect of the “bottleneck.”

Vaginoplasty belongs to one-day operations: it is performed under anesthesia, with the duration of not more than half an hour. Rehabilitation after vaginoplasty usually lasts for no more than two weeks. The final results of vagina size reduction can be fully seen after 1.5-2 months.

Clitoris Surgery

The clitoris is called on organ of “women admiration” not without a reason: its stimulation is mostly responsible for sexual pleasure. However, in some cases, the clitoris may be under the skin fold (congenital feature), or under the scars left after an injury, which leads to clitoris anorgasmia and the inability to get full satisfaction from the intercourse.

Clitoris surgery is usually carried out under local or general anesthesia and lasts for an average of 1 hour. The recovery period lasts about three weeks, and during this time no sex is allowed. Among surgical complications, we may single out clitoris sensitivity disorders: if the doctor accidentally damages the nerve fibers of the clitoris, the woman will never get an orgasm!

Virginity Repair Surgery

Hymen reconstruction surgery, allowing to restore the integrity of the hymen, may be done to any woman, regardless of the duration of her sex life. Today there are several methods to restore virginity, enabling surgeons to achieve the desired result from any amount of hymen residues. The state of “raw material”, in turn, depends on the woman’s intimate experience. In simple cases, the edges of the hymen are sewn together. In the most difficult ones – the hymen is formed from portions of the mucous vestibule. However, after this type of surgery, the defloration is noticeably more painful, and bleeding is usually more abundant.

The virginity repair surgery is painless, since it is used with a local anesthetic. After its completion, the patient can go home. When suturing, bioresorbable thread is used and there is no need to remove sutures (in some cases, they are removed after 5-7 days).

Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment

In stress incontinence, increased intraabdominal pressure and physical or emotional stress may lead to the “squeezing” of urine from the bladder through the urethra. Women suffering from this disease have a weakly closed bladder sphincter, The urine may inadvertently be released when a wonam is laughing, coughing, sneezing; with a change in body position or weight lifting. Urinary incontinence is not life-threatening, but it greatly complicates a woman’s life and makes her suffer psychologically.

Surgery is used when conservative therapy – pelvic floor muscle training, obesity and constipation figth etc. – does not help.

White T-Shirt Makes Men More Attractive

Wearing a plain white T-shirts with the letter T makes men 12% more attractive to women than with other clothes. The researchers found that this T-shirt creates the illusion of a V-shaped masculine body, which is ideal from the point of view of male beauty.

Scientists from Nottingham Trent University in England invented a simple and available to each representative of the stronger sex way to increase your chances of success with women. For this it is necessary to wear a plain white T-shirt with short sleeves and a large letter T in front. It turns out that such clothing makes the man 12% more attractive in the eyes of women.

According to the authors, these T-shirts give the illusion of broad shoulders and slender waist, that is, the most appreciated V-shaped masculine athletic body. The best results of wearing white T-shirts have been observed in men out of shape. The attractiveness of athletic-looking men increased only slightly.

But wearing a top with an inverted T – the horizontal line positioned at waist level – on the contrary, decreased male attractiveness by 12%. According to the researchers, these shirts focus attention on the men’s belly, which negatively affects the appearance as a whole.

The study helped to clarify the perfect ratio of male waist to the chest, which is between 0.7 and 0.8 (the shoulders should be 20% wider than the waist). Letter T on a white T-shirt creates the illusion of wide shoulders.

Talking to Yourself Beneficial to Your Brain Health

The psychologists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison believe that talking to oneself is beneficial for the brain, and such behavior is not an aberration.

The researchers conducted a series of experiments, in which the participants had to find the lost items as fast as possible. Such activities force people to talk, and if there is nobody nearby, the person has to talk to himself/herself. The organizers of the experiment asked a half of the participants to undergo the test silently, while the other half of the volunteers were not restrained in talking.

The experiment showed that the job was done faster by those who were allowed to speak. Psychologists explain this by the fact that talking speeds up perception and thinking because it helps the brain find the right solution.

Half of Women Apply Makeup While Driving

According to the results of the study, nearly half of all women consider it possible to apply makeup directly while driving. The experts believe that this is the cause of a huge number of accidents.

450,000 traffic accidents occur each year in the UK due to the fault of the driving women, who find it possible to apply makeup while driving. This conclusion was reached by the sociologists, who conducted the study commissioned by the Debra Robson LDN cosmetic clinic in London.

43% of 1,000 women, who participated in the survey, admitted that they applied makeup regularly when driving. Most often, they try to use the time they have at traffic lights or in a traffic jam. The women admit that they are aware of the dangers of such behavior, but they still continue to do so. Most often, the ladies are applying lipstick (35%).

Only 14% of the respondents believe that the use of makeup while driving somehow affects their driving style. In most cases, a woman applies makeup while driving due to lack of time. Apparently, women prefer not to think about the fact that it may cause accidents with serious injuries and even deaths of people.

However, women feel that not only the car is a suitable place for applying makeup. 63% apply makeup in trains, while 43% do so in buses. 21% of the respondents are in such a hurry that they spend only 5 minutes applying makeup, 42% spend 10 minutes, and 22% need 20 minutes. Only 10% of the women need more than 30 minutes. Finally, 5% do not apply makeup.

How to Prevent Liver Damage from Alcohol Intake?

How to Prevent Liver Damage from Alcohol Intake?
   

The employees of Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology at Chonnam National University managed to find a way to stop the harmful effects of alcohol on the liver.

When injected into the blood, alcohol produces active oxygen, which damages the liver, causing hepatitis and even liver cirrhosis. However, until now scientists have not entirely clarified how this oxygen is formed.

South Korean experts have established that alcohol leads to the development of nuclear hormone receptors ERRy, which have a negative effect on the liver. Scientists argue that this process can be prevented if their production is inhibited. It means you would not have to think about the consequences of immoderate alcohol consumption.

The experts from the University of California at Davis had already found a new hangover cure before. It appeared to be an Asian yak-and-maine soup with beef broth. The experts from McLean Hospital and the researchers at Harvard Medical School discovered the benefits of the Chinese kudzu herb extract: it reduced the need for alcohol and could help in the treatment of alcohol addiction.

In turn, the Australian scientists have invented a pill that allows a person to drink and not get drunk. They conducted an experiment on mice, which demonstrated that the rodents that were taking the medication showed no signs of “light gaiety”, despite the fact that alcohol was taken in large doses.

3 Phrases Your Man Wants to Hear from You

No matter how self-confident and independent our men can seem, sometimes they just need support and the words of encouragement. We have chosen the top 3 things your man would like to hear from you.

1. “I Respect Your Decision”

This uncomplicated phrase is a direct appeal to his inner caveman, who is constantly forced to take responsible decisions that will determine his future and the future of his beloved ones.

At the same time, women are not obliged to agree to everything – we can have our own opinion, but try to respect his choice.

A man often lacks the words of trust and recognition of the fact that his woman is on his side. By the way, the experts say that such statements need to be made before or after sex – at the moment when your bodies are filled with oxytocin, the hormone of tenderness, and love words sound extremely convincing.
