Mushrooms May Be Key to Preventing Memory Loss, Say Scientists
Mushrooms may be the new home-made remedy for preventive cognitive decline. Two standard portions of mushrooms per week can do the trick. This diet resulted in a 50 per cent reduction in the probability of cognitive memory loss, in a recent study.
According to the researchers, a compound known as ergothioneine or ET may be driving the reduction in MCI probability. Correspondingly, the compound possesses unique anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.
Human beings cannot synthesize ET on their own. Therefore, we rely on substances like mushrooms for the intake.
The researchers conducted elaborate personal interviews and tests to confirm their findings. Besides, the interviews helped the researchers determine medical history, dietary habits, and demographic information among other factors.
The global general medicine education publishing market has been steadily advancing
The global general medicine education publishing market has been steadily advancing due to the expansion of several associated markets. The necessity of primary healthcare, the growing online education industry, and the popularity of eBooks are a few of the key drivers of the global general medicine education publishing market. The major restraints include decreasing enrolments of students into the medical stream owing to higher fees, the unavailability of modern technology in emerging countries, and macroeconomic policies associated with reimbursements.
Also known as “internal medicine”, general medicine deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases. Internists, physicians who practice general medicine, are capable of dealing with all kinds of problems that a patient brings- whether simple or complicated. Chronic illnesses and incidence of several diseases simultaneously attacking a patient are some of the situations internists excel at. Some of the internists are known as “hospitalists”, as they are concerned providing care to the patients. More number of students have been opting to study medicine, and this has proved to be beneficial to the general medicine education publishing market.
Palladium Diselenide Opens New Vistas For Higher Solar Power Generation
In an effort to enhance solar performance, researchers of Siberian Federal University and Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden take a giant step. The team discovered new characteristics of a palladium-based material capable of improving solar cell performance.
Palladium diselenide holds enormous promise for the future. Further, researchers point out that the chemical fraternity has not explored all the properties of this material.
The team of researchers used methods of high-precision calculation for the very first time. As a result, they could study in detail, the optical and electronic properties of two-layer and single-layer palladium diselenide-based materials. Further, results show that it is capable of efficiently soaking more solar energy than silicon-based material.
Clearly, the material exhibits the superior capacity to extract electrical energy from solar power. It has a much broader spectrum of energy absorption than other conventional elements.
Findings from this research will open applications of PdSe2 as an independent material for making solar cell elements. For instance, in making artificial satellites of Earth and spacecraft. The efficiency of the material is likely to make it a cost-effective option in the space industry.
