Gene mutation speeds up brain decline in Alzheimer's

// WASHINGTON: A rare genetic mutation associated with Alzheimer's disease has been found to accelerate the loss of brain tissue and lead to quicker mental decline, researchers said Wednesday.

People with the TREM2 gene variant lost brain tissue twice as fast as healthy elderly people, according to research published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

"This is the first study to use brain scans to show what this gene variant does, and it's very surprising," said co-author Paul Thompson of the University of Southern California.

"This gene speeds up brain loss at a terrific pace."

Thompson and colleagues did magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans on 478 adults, whose average age was 76, over the course of two years.

They found that mutation carriers lost 1.4 percent to 3.3 percent more of their brain tissue than non-carriers, and the deterioration happened twice as fast.

Brain tissue loss was concentrated in memory centers of the brain, including the temporal lobe and hippocampus.

The TREM2 variant was first described in January as rare mutation, existing in about one percent of the North American and European population, that could triple a person's lifetime risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Subsequent study has confirmed the mutation's link to Alzheimer's in blacks as well.

The genetic mutation has also been linked to an increased likelihood of Parkinson's disease and a rare form of early brain decline called Nasu-Hakola disease.//

Outdoor air pollution a leading cause of cancer: WHO

My Opinion - Comment - Concern - Say :

For a Happy, Healthy and Lengthy Living besides other eseentials our priority need is clean and fresh air, not polluted air.

// GENEVA: The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday classified outdoor air pollution as a leading cause of cancer in humans.

"The air we breathe has become polluted with a mixture of cancer-causing substances," said Kurt Straif of the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

"We now know that outdoor air pollution is not only a major risk to health in general, but also a leading environmental cause of cancer deaths."

The IARC said a panel of top experts had found "sufficient evidence" that exposure to outdoor air pollution caused lung cancer and raised the risk of bladder cancer.

Although the composition of air pollution and levels of exposure can vary dramatically between locations, the agency said its conclusions applied to all regions of the globe.

Air pollution was already known to increase the risk of respiratory and heart diseases.

The IARC said pollution exposure levels increased significantly in some parts of the world in recent years, notably in rapidly industrialising nations with large populations.

The most recent data, from 2010, showed that 223,000 lung cancer deaths worldwide were the result of air pollution, the agency said.

In the past, the IARC had measured the presence of individual chemicals and mixtures of chemicals in the air -- including diesel engine exhaust, solvents, metals, and dust.

But the latest findings were based on overall air quality.

"Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants," said the IARC's Dana Loomis.

"The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution," he added.

The predominant sources of outdoor air pollution were transport, power generation, emissions from factories and farms, and residential heating and cooking, the agency said. (AFP) //

Regular practice of walking keeps one far in better health than those who avoid walking.

// Go for a quick walk.
Step away from the vending machine and take a stroll around the block instead. In a classic study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers had people either eat a candy bar or walk briskly for 10 minutes on 12 different days. Walking turned out to be the better long-term energy booster; the snackers’ energy levels plummeted within an hour of eating the bar. In a later study, the same researchers discovered that the more steps people take each day, the higher they evaluate their overall mood and energy.//
