The hearing challenged have good news from modern technology
Now even those with hearing loss can enjoy music. The hearing impaired will benefit from the new technology.
The international news agency claims that the new technology will allow those who have hearing loss to listen to music. An programme created by scientists transforms monophonic music into audible stimuli that are delivered through vibration.
This imparts a musical feeling to the wearer of the instrument. Additionally, concerts can use this device.
According to experts, we have been working on ways to help those who are deaf hear for a long time, and to some extent, we've been successful. attempting to understand how music might alter one's emotions and abilities, as well as how it helps treat mental disease and pain.
With this apparatus, more than 50 people were tested. Each person had a wrist-mounted gadget installed, and they all claimed success.

The habit that can make you lose teeth
He said that people with a habit of vaping must tell their doctor so that they can give you the best treatment apart from the general patient. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 9.1 million adults and 2.0 million youth in the United States use tobacco vaping products. Although most patients did not vape, 79 percent of those who did had dental caries. While among the people who did not use electronic cigarettes, this rate was 60 percent.

Children under 5 are more susceptible to pneumonia because of pollution and changing weather
These days, everyone's health is at risk, whether they are children, the old, or the young. It now takes longer to recover from a common cold than it used to, which was typically three to five days.
The number of patients visiting hospitals with breathing problems has increased by around 15% as a result of rising pollution.
The 7-year-old son of Vaishnavi, a resident of Noida's Sector 93, claimed that he had been suffering from a cold and respiratory problems for the past few months. She claimed that despite visiting numerous doctors, none of the suggested medications worked.
As the cold and pollution worsen, more children are developing pneumonia. A increased danger of getting sick exists for those who have not had their vaccinations.
According to paediatrician Dr. D.K. Gupta, children with pneumonia are being admitted to the OPD, and early diagnosis and treatment of the illness are essential.Children need extra attention in the winter, according to Gupta, because they are more likely to develop pneumonia.He advised covering children's ears to protect them from the cold and keeping them properly clothed as preventive steps to assure their safety.
According to Gupta, because of their increased risk of pneumonia during the winter, youngsters require extra attention.He said that two preventative actions that can be performed to safeguard children's safety are to keep them properly clothed and to keep their ears covered to shield them from the cold.He continued by saying that in youngsters, chest wheezing may be an indication of pneumonia.Pneumonia affects the majority of children under the age of five, making it difficult for them to breathe and consume milk.
Additionally, they are prone to other issues including fever, ear infections, diarrhoea, and measles, which is a highly contagious illness brought on by the measles virus.
The measles vaccine is quite efficient at preventing the disease.
When a person with the disease coughs or sneezes, droplets are released into the air. They become infectious when breathed in by a healthy person.
During the pandemic, children's regular vaccinations were compromised, leaving their course of shots incomplete.
Bacteria, viruses, and fungi can contribute to lung infections. In contrast, a cold is a form of allergy that causes a runny nose and throat mucous.
Pneumococcal, PCV 13, and Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccines, among others, help protect kids from bacterial pneumonia.
In order to avoid contracting pneumonia, it is important to routinely wash your hands with soap or handwash, stay away from infected persons, and protect your face with your elbow when you sneeze.
THE SIGNS OF PNEUMONIA
chest pain, particularly when coughing or inhaling
cough that is blood crimson, green, or yellow and produces phlegm or mucus
excessive tiredness
reduced appetite
chills, perspiration, and fever
nausea and diarrhoea
EARLY TREATMENNT COULD INCREASE THE SURVIVAL RATE OF YOUNG WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER
Ductal carcinoma, which begins in the milk ducts, is the most prevalent type of breast cancer. Lobular carcinoma is one of the additional forms of breast cancer.
A type of cancer called breast cancer develops from breast tissue. Ductal carcinoma, which develops in milk ducts, is the most prevalent type of breast cancer.Other forms of breast cancer include inflammatory breast cancer, which starts in the breast tissue, and lobular carcinoma, which starts in the milk lobules. Women between the ages of 55 and 64 are the most likely to die from breast cancer. Compared to women who are diagnosed later in life, those who are diagnosed earlier typically have more aggressive cancers and have shorter survival rates.
Age is the single most important factor in causing breast cancer in the majority of women, although there are other risk factors for the disease as well.
Family history: Having a first-degree family who has breast cancer raises your risk, whether they are on your mother's or father's side. A inherited propensity for breasts is indicated by several characteristics, such as (5-10 per cent of all breast cancers).
Onset at a young age of 45. • A person with many malignancies • Cancers that are known to be brought on by a specific gene mutation affect numerous family members who are descended from the same ancestor. • Breast cancer presenting in an unusual way, such as in males or in bilaterally. • A few different forms of breast cancer, such as triple-negative breast cancer.
Personal Breast cancer history: If you've already had breast cancer, your risk of getting it again is very high.
The majority of breast cancers are sporadic or random, and some factors, such as - • Postmenopausal women typically reach their sixth and seventh decades of age. • Gender: female (For every 100 females, 1 male gets breast cancer) • Obesity: Having a large waistline or being overweight raises your risk of breast cancer. • Regular alcohol use: Regular alcohol use increases the risk of breast cancer. • Women's menstrual history People who experience early menarche (before the age of 12) or late menopause (beyond the age of 55) are more at risk because they are exposed to more oestrogen and progesterone. • After 35 years, a first child is born late. • Hormone replacement medication: Taking hormone replacement therapy, especially for a long time, increases the risk of developing breast cancer. • Nulliparity (not having children). Please be aware of oral contraceptives.
Blood May Contain a New Biomarker for AcuteCOVID-19
Scientists have shown that patients with acute COVID-19 infection have increased levels of the cytokine IL-26 in their blood. Moreover, high IL-26 levels correlate with an exaggerated inflammatory response that signifies severe cases of the disease. The findings, which are presented in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Immunology, suggest that IL-26 is a potential biomarker for severe COVID-19.
Vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 have proved effective at reducing the number of cases of severe COVID-19. However, the emergence of new viral variants, limited distribution of the vaccine, and declining immunity are problems that drive scientists to find more efficacious treatments for the disease.
To develop improved treatments, we must comprehend underlying immunological systems better. Additionally, there is a requirement for better diagnostics in
COVID 19-patients, according to Eduardo Cardenas, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, and lead author of the brand-new pilot study.
The researchers have attempted to determine whether immunological signalling via the cytokine interleukin-26 (IL-26) is implicated in severe COVID-19 for the first time.
Anders Lindén, consultant and professor at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, is the study's final author. "We already know that IL-26 is engaged in mobilising immune cells that combat bacterial infections in the lungs and also in chronic respiratory disease in humans," he says. Additionally, IL-26 possesses antiviral and antibacterial properties.
The researchers gathered 49 individuals who had been hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2 infection, 44 of whom had severe symptoms and required oxygen therapy, to investigate how the molecule is implicated in COVID-19. From June 2020 to January 2021, the patients were enrolled at a hospital in Stockholm. During the same time span, a control group of 27 healthy people was also recruited. The researchers next assessed the concentrations of IL-26 protein and other inflammatory substances in.
