Are the Side Effects of Drugs Very Dangerous?

Drugs have different functions or benefits. Some can relieve complaints such as headaches, for example, paracetamol. There are also drugs used to treat bacterial infections, for example, antibiotics, and there are also drugs used to prevent more severe diseases or complications, for example, hypertension drugs.
Various drugs have side effects. For some people, the side effects of the medication may sound alarming. Is everyone bound to experience drug side effects? Are the side effects of drugs dangerous? Here’s an explanation.

1. What are drug side effects?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) explains that a side effect is an unwanted effect associated with a drug. All drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter drugs, have side effects.
In addition, the reported by health direct states that vitamins and minerals also have side effects, as well as herbal products. Even so, it’s important to remember that not everyone will experience side effects after … Read the rest

Long COVID Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption

In a recent study published on Research Square* preprint servers, researchers examined the destruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) due to cognitive impairment associated with ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID). background

Studies have demonstrated the microvascular injury observed in the brains of deceased patients with acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including thinning of the laminae of endothelial cells in the olfactory bulb and leakage of fibrinogen. BBB-related changes and responses after exposure to SARS-CoV-2 have also been studied. In addition, evidence suggests that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can effectively cross the rodent BBB, which can lead to cognitive changes as well as inflammation. However, cerebrovascular pathology in patients and related mechanisms require further research, particularly in long-standing COVID patients. The impact of COVID-19 on BBB changes also remains to be explored.

About research

In this study, researchers assessed the neurobiological effects of COVID-19 in patients diagnosed with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection … Read the rest

Key Concepts in Taking Care of Your Mental Health

Mental health is defined as a state in which a person feels comfortable. This gives him the ability to live a life that fulfills what he wants to achieve according to the resources available. This condition also gives individuals the ability to withstand the pressures they face and respond to these challenges without sacrificing their well-being. This also makes him productive and useful for himself and his community.

Mental health can also be defined as the absence of any mental health problem or disorder. Mentally healthy are people who do not show any diagnosed behavior that could be qualified as a mental disorder. For example, someone who is obsessed with something does not necessarily have a mental disorder like an obsession. So he should be mentally healthy. But when this obsession is coupled with an unrelenting urge to perform the obsession, the person may already be diagnosed with a mental … Read the rest

Pollution Over Time Undermines The Lung’s Immune Defenses

Impaired lung immune function joins the list of pollution-related health problems

Particulate matter, one of the pollutants emitted from coal-burning power plants, accumulates over time in the lungs’ immune tissues. The buildup might help explain older adults’ weakened respiratory immune function.

JAMES JORDAN PHOTOGRAPHY/MOMENT/GETTY

Lung immunity can decline with age, making older adults more susceptible to lung damage and serious respiratory infections. New research shows one reason why this might be so: Particulate matter inhaled from pollution acts over time to weaken the lungs’ immune system, researchers report online Nov. 21 in Nature Medicine.

Air pollution is a leading cause of disease and premature death worldwide, disproportionately affecting the poor and marginalized (SN: 30/7/20). Particulate matter – a type of pollution emanating from vehicle exhaust, power plants, wildfires and other sources – has been linked to health hazards including respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous diseases (SN: 09/19/1… Read the rest

The Study of Psychology is About Behavior, Mental Processes, and Personality

The science of psychology is the study of behavior, mental processes, and personality. Psychology is a social science that uses scientific methods to study human behavior. Psychologists use many different approaches to better understand and predict human behavior.

Anatomy

Anatomy is the study of how bodies are put together. It’s also called histology or necropsy (from Greek words meaning “somewhat dead”).

The first thing to know about anatomy is that it was originally a branch of medicine. Today, however, most people study anatomy because they want to be doctors or veterinarians—or even just because they enjoy learning about the human body in general!

Pathology

Anatomy is the branch of medicine dealing with the study of muscles, nerves, and bones. It includes both gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy.

Tips for Teaching Children Science

Getting kids interested in science

At an early age is very important. It’s easier than you think. Science does not have to be something mysterious. It is happening all around us, and you can use everyday things to encourage your children’s interest and knowledge.

Most parents believe that they can’t help their children with science. But you don’t need a advanced scientific degree to teach young children science. All you need is a willingness to try, to observe the world, and to take the time to encourage their natural curiosity.

You can help by having a positive attitude toward science yourself

Then start simply by asking your child questions about the things you see every day. Why do you think that happened? How do you think that works? And then listen to their answer without judging it or judging them. Listening without judging will improve their confidence, and help you … Read the rest
