Viagra associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease -NIH

According to NIH,  People who took the drug sildenafil were less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Also, in cultured human neurons, sildenafil enhanced growth and reduced Alzheimer’s biomarkers. The findings support further investigation of sildenafil as a possible treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. To understand how sildenafil might affect AD, the researchers grew neurons from stem cells derived from AD patients. Exposing the cells to sildenafil led to increased growth of neurites, which connect neurons to each other, and decreased tau phosphorylation, an early biomarker of AD. Taken together, these results show an association between sildenafil use and reduced AD risk. But the researchers emphasize that they haven’t shown that sildenafil prevents or reverses AD. There may be other factors responsible for the association. The institute further reports that this was discovered by a team of researchers led by Dr. Feixiong Cheng at the Cleveland Clinic. "Because our findings on...

‘Sins of the flesh’ aren’t that ‘serious’ - Pope Francis

 Pope Francis has stated that lust is not the worst of the deadly sins. As earlier reported by New York Post, the highly revered religious leader stated that there are worse indiscretions than sex outside marriage. This followed the resignation of Michel Aupetit, the Archbishop of Paris, who quit after his relationship with a woman was made public.  According to the Pope, “It was a failing against the sixth commandment (You shall not commit adultery) but not a total one, one of small caresses, massage given to his secretary — that is what the accusation is,”  He also added, in reference to the action of Michel Aupetit  “There is a sin there but not the worst kind.” Pride and hatred, according to Pope Francis are top transgressions instead.       Pope Francis .

Does ‘Dry January’ actually improve your health?

Image
(Written  By Cortney Moore, Fox News and Originally published in the New York Post) For trendy health-conscious folks, the start of a new year sometimes means the start of Dry January. The month-long public health campaign encourages people to abstain from alcohol as a way to improve wellness. Are there actual health benefits you can gain from Dry January? For the most part, experts say yes, but it’s not an absolute must for everyone to observe. “Ultimately, sober months like Dry January can be harmless for the majority of the population who do not have a severe alcohol use disorder,” said Dr. Deni Carise, the chief science officer at the Recovery Centers of America. “Diagnoses are characterized as mild, moderate or severe. Those who drink heavily could encounter very serious health risks when quitting abruptly and should take caution.” If you’re thinking of participating in Dry January this year, health considerations you should know before you ditch alcohol for 31 days. Alcohol’s...
