Vegetable diet is good for multiple sclerosis

26.08.2019

Higher blood levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) - or good cholesterol - may reduce fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis, according to a new study from the University at Buffalo.

A pilot study examining the effect of blood fat on fatigue caused by multiple sclerosis found that lowering total cholesterol levels also reduced wasting. The results highlight the impact of dietary changes on severe fatigue, which is seen in most people with multiple sclerosis.

Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom for people with multiple sclerosis, and it affects quality of life and ability to work full time. Despite its prevalence and the severity of its impact, treatment options for fatigue are limited. Drugs used to treat severe fatigue often have unwanted side effects.

The researchers studied changes in body mass index (BMI), calories, total cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), commonly known as bad cholesterol. Fatigue was measured on a fatigue severity scale.

The study included patients with progressive multiple sclerosis for a year who were prescribed a Wahls Protocol diet high in fruits and vegetables. The diet encourages the consumption of meat, vegetable protein, fish oil and B vitamins. Gluten, dairy products and eggs are excluded.

Participants also participated in a home exercise program that included stretching and strength training exercises, neuromuscular electrical stimulation to stimulate muscle contraction and movement, and meditation and self-administered massages to relieve stress. However, dietary compliance was the main factor associated with reduced fatigue.

Patients ate fewer calories and experienced a reduction in BMI, as well as triglyceride and LDL levels. However, these factors were found not to be associated with changes in fatigue.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Compact amateur 4K camcorder Sony Handycam FDR-AX100E 06.04.2014

Sony has introduced a compact amateur 4K camcorder. The Handycam FDR-AX100E is approximately 75% smaller and 66% lighter than the FDR-AX1E, making single-handed shooting more convenient.

This is the first 4K Handycam camcorder to feature a large back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS 1.0 sensor. Far larger than traditional consumer camcorders, this sensor is capable of producing 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) graphics. This quality delivers 4 times the level of detail of Full HD, while maintaining the ability to create a subtle bokeh effect with blurred backgrounds.

4K sensor capabilities are supported by the Sony BIONZ X processor, which provides effective noise reduction in certain areas and reproduction of details that make the image vivid and realistic. The 25p progressive recording mode, combined with the advanced Cinematone Gamma/Colour function, will make your video vivid and saturated.

The Handycam FDR-AX100E uses a newly developed ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens with 12x optical zoom, specifically designed for 4K resolution. Image sharpness even at the edges of the frame is ensured by a lens consisting of 17 elements in 11 groups, including AA (advanced aspherical) and ED lens.

With Wi-Fi and NFC support, you can transfer videos and photos from your Handycam to your smartphone or tablet with one touch. To get started, just download the free PlayMemories Mobile app on your iOS or Android device.

You can also view content stored on the camera on a large TV screen by connecting via Wi-Fi (requires a TV compatible with DNLA rendering and an access point; not suitable for XAVC S video format).
Simply touching the camera to an NFC-enabled mobile device also activates the Smart Remote Control function.

The new 4K Sony FDR-AX100E camcorder will go on sale in Russia in mid-April 2014. Estimated cost: 79 rubles.
