Previously it was believed that much soap dries the skin. This conviction was refuted by cream soap manufacturers. But today this is not the only option quality product that has the useful properties for the skin. For instance, the glycerin soap also have extenuating and moisturizing properties. Therefore, it is suitable for sensitive skin. Petrolatum soap prevents the skin from MTTI, and therefore,  women with dry skin should use it. Honey soap nourishes the skin tones, making it soft and gentle.
In addition, there are soaps with herbs. Thus, soap with fir extract promotes healing of small cracks, prevents the formation of acne. The soap with chamomile extract strengthens the protective functions of the skin, helps to avoid MTTI. Soaps with hypericum and eucalyptus provides anti inflammatory effect.

Doctor Gerald Block from “American Journal of Psychiatry”/USA/ states that frequent sending of messages by a mobile phone and electronic letters in the Internet can be an early symptom of intellectually-psychological disorders.

The professor has formulated some signs, by which it is possible to reveal disorders of mentality at the person, having dependence on the electronic text: strong feeling of isolation and impatience, when there is no access to the computer or to a mobile phone, high necessity in their regular use and constant aspiration to improve the electronic equipment to be engaged in their hobby.

Dr. Block believes, that instant message transfer creates emotional problems and causes harm to social, educational and working sphere of the person. It cites as an example the accidents of traffic accidents occurring because of drivers, which frequently driving on a road distract on a mobile telephone or the computer built in the car.

The psychiatrist studied this dependence in South Korea where the sms-mania gets really large-scale limits. According to the professor, modern communication means are now especially actively used in the Asian countries. He has noticed that in South Korea the cases of heart attack caused by sudden death of the computer character in a game are already fixed.

Dr. Block explains that dependence on electronic messages enters into the group of persuasive-impulsive disorders and in chronic stages leads to loss of sense of time and space, increase in weariness, neglecting close people, educational or working duties, increases of intensity, social isolation and anger and develops depression.

At present approximately 210 thousand children and teenagers of 6-19 years in South Korea pass a course of psychotropic treatment from the Internet and computer dependence and 24 % from them are hospitalized with initial deviations of mentality. Now the Ministry of Health has implemented preventive measures against Internet propensity at schools. High levels of the psycho-emotional disorder connected with the use of modern technologies, are also fixed in China.

The people of middle age having superfluous kgs, risk to have dementia when they will be 70. Experts of research group Kaiser Permanente studied an index of weight of a body, a circumference of a waist and informative skills of more than 6 thousand people at the age of 40-45 years during the long period. Earlier the scientists have proved, that propensity to adiposity increases risk of ischemic disease of heart, blow, diabetes, metabolic dysfunction, but the connection between excessive stoutness and cognitive deterioration has been found for the first time.

To be stout in the middle of a life is dangerous to brain work, physicians warn. Though the more senior the person becomes, the less is the weight of a muscle and the more weak is a bone, the sedentary life causes an irreparable damage to brain health, the American neurologists assure. Presence of belly fat from 40 years obviously correlated with a strong brain atrophy after the age of 60-years, raising risk of dementia in 2-3 times. Chronic adiposity raises risk of dementia on 80 %. Doctors underline, that dangerous effects of a superfluous fatty fabric in a stomach on a brain can begin before occurrence of symptoms of dementia.

Scientists have found association between influence of pesticides and neurologic Parkinson’s disease. Chemists of the medical centre at Duke University/USA/have defined that presence of dangerous ecological chemicals in water, soil and food promotes dysfunction of nervous system and breaks loco-motor processes in an organism.

The strongest connections between the disease and toxins have been noted at use of herbicides and insecticide of organic chloride and organic phosphate type, thrown out in environment by factories and being a part of many fertilizers. According to physicians, chemically active pesticides are capable to affect work of the central nervous system for a short time interval and to generate preconditions for degenerate disorders. Now the doctors intend to identify suitable biological tracks in these chemicals, influencing on brain and neurons

According to results of the new research, those people who conduct active way of life, especially during their free time, keep a biological youth longer, than those who conduct a sedentary life at work and at home.
Scientists assert, that regular exercises and playing sports reduce probability of development of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes of the second type, the raised blood pressure and a cancer. Also conducting active way of life prevents adiposity and an osteoporosis. Researchers from the Royal college of London inform on it. The analysis of influence of physical activity on biological age of the person has been conducted with support of National institute of health.
During the research the scientists have conducted inspection of more than 2400 twins. Participants of the project answered questions, which have allowed to define character of their way of life, degree of physical activity, susceptibility to bad habits, such as smoking, and the general social and economic status. Also the participants of the project have passed the blood analysis in the result of which the samples of DNA were taken.
Due to last procedure the scientists could study lines of telomeres – repeating sites on the ends of chromosomes – in white blood cells (leukocytes) at twins. Telomeres tend to shortening in the course of ageing, thereby, being a good marker of biological age of the person. The length of telomeres decreases, thus the person loses 21 nucleotides in a year.
During the conducted analysis scientists have established, that at those people who conduct less active way of life, the length of telomeres appears to be shorter. As experts declare, if to take into consideration excessive weight and other problems, connected with a sedentary life, the biological age of the person becomes higher. Thus, the researchers speak about presence of direct dependence between level of physical activity, to which the person is subjected during the whole life, and biological age. Probably, this statement is a key to a solution of secret of an eternal youth and beauty, scientists consider.

Scientists have made the important step on a way to treatment of Parkinson’s disease, other heavy diseases, connected with degeneration of cells. According to the research published here, the international group of researchers has managed to prove possibility of treatment of Parkinson’s disease by transplantation of cells, received from cloned embryos.

“For the first time scientists managed to grow up working cells of a brain from stem cells and to transplant them in the affected brain sites”, - the magazine “Nature Medicine” testifies. Experiences were conducted on mice, however, according to the authors of the experiment, its success proves possibility of application of this technology to the person.

The official representative of the British Society of Parkinson’s disease named the research a “tremendous achievement”. In the United Kingdom there are 120 000 of affected by this heavy illness. Because of shortage of human ovicells, the scientists have decided to use ovicells of cows and rabbits for cloning of embryos.

The similar technology of reception of cells for treatment has caused an angry protest of Catholic church in the Great Britain. The head of Catholics of England and Wales cardinal Kormak Murphy O’Connor named it “Frankenstein technology”. This and other same numerous statements in kingdom, including outstanding laborites, the former ministers, members of parliament, has led to a new conflict situation in the ruling Labor party on the threshold of consideration of a bill about embryonic researches.

Probably, almost each person knows the basic products which are considered “useful for health”. Certainly, these are fruit and vegetables, and also the fish dishes rich with substances are necessary for an organism. But, it appears that there is one more category of foodstuff which brings to our health not smaller advantage but about which dieticians forget all the time, equating it to “ballast food”. We talk about … nuts, in particular - a peanut.
As the researches conducted at University of the State of Florida have shown, the peanut is extremely rich with antioxidants - the substances protecting cells of an organism from influence of dangerous free radicals. First of all polyphenols contained in it possess antioxidant properties - the connections close by their chemical structure to antioxidant components of red wine, doing it one of most effective remedies for preventive maintenance of cardiovascular diseases. By the way, as scientists have found out, after a roasting of a peanut the maintenance of polyphenols in it increases by 20-25 percent, i.e. nuts become even more useful to health. And if to compare a peanut by expressiveness of antioxidant actions to other products it will appear, that it along with wild strawberry and a blackberry concedes only to a pomegranate, which is considered to be a “leader” by the maintenance of substances-antioxidants.
However, it is necessary to notice, that scientists do not recommend to abuse peanuts. Yes, of course, it, as well as other products with the high maintenance of antioxidants, protects from the various diseases connected with influence on an organism of free radicals - for example, an atherosclerosis, ischemic illness of heart, presenilation and malignant tumours. But thus, unlike the same vegetables and fruit, the peanut is rather calorific, and its active consumption can lead to occurrence of excess weight or even development of adiposity. So do not forget about it and try to observe feeling of measure.

Experts mark growing prevalence of new frustration of food behavior - drunkorexia, at which women miss a dinner or a supper, instead abusing alcohol in order to avoid excess weight. Drunkorexia more often affects youth and students of universities who are in condition of general alcoholic revelry, the experts of medical magazine “Women’s Health” inform.

Drunkorexia is not the medical term, however some dieticians believe, that there is a connection between the raised consumption of spirits and frustration of food behavior. Young women try to compensate a lack of calories as they do not receive their necessary quantity of calories in meal for the account of alcohol. Having drunk two big glasses of the white wine, containing 300 calories, the woman can starve herself all night long, the Australian physicians say. Abusing alcohol is the general phenomenon in the student’s environment, and in aggregate with social imposing of standards of beauty girls can appear in a risk group not only of alcoholism, but also anorexia and the problems of health connected with it, doctors warn. It has been established, that a third of patients with a bulimia struggles as well with alcoholism, and 36 % of women, treated from abusing spirits, have signs of anorexia.

Employees of the University of Warwick, Great Britain, have described the mechanism of resistance to penicillin of the bacterium, causing a pneumonia.
Researchers have concentrated on streptococcal bacterium Streptococcus pneumonia, which kills about 5 million children annually. Last years the number of the penicillin-resistant bacteria, the first antibiotic discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, has considerably grown. In normal conditions penicillin interferes with strengthening of a fragile cellular wall of a bacterium by a necessary component peptidoglycane.
The scientists have found out that in formation of structures with peptidoglycane protein MurM plays a key role. The higher is its activity, the stronger becomes peptidoglycane and the more resistant is a bacterium against a medicine.
According to scientists, this opening will help with creation of new, more effective medicines also against methicillin-resistant golden staphylococcus, which is on the first place among the bacteria leading to a lethal outcome. Such medicine can be developed in the next two-three years, the participant of the research Dr Adrian Lloyd says. The scientists precisely know, what is necessary for protein MurM for performance of the function, it is necessary only to create means which will prevent it from doing it, he explains.

Consequences of a diet and starvation often lead to undesirable and negative results. At sudden restriction in food the activity of exchange processes decreases and the fat is expended more economically, thus the muscular weight may decrease, which provides the active contribution to daily burning of calories.

Adherents of low-calorie diets and intense physical exercises are especially subject to energy loss, connected with a lack of potassium. The low-albuminous diet threatens supply of an organism by selenium. Numerous loss of weight is connected with cardiovascular disease, risk of cardiac impact, diabetes and changes of immune function of an organism. The doctors insistently recommend regular consuming of healthy food in smaller quantities. At observance of these conditions long-term and stable weight reduction are possible, the experts consider.

According to experts of Research centre UCLA in the USA, sitting on a diet – is actually a consecutive prediction of increase in weight in future. Initial loss of 5-10 % of weight at any diet leads to reverse increase in weight of a body. By the results of the research the majority of people after a dietary mode restored all former weight of a body - 83 %, and some even gained even more kgs, than before restrictions in food consumption - 23 %.
