Both the Gut and nervous system communicate regularly through the "nervous system language" to perform the various functions. This useful interaction of Gut and the nervous system helps Gut to respond to the variety of dietary products that it absorbs, the broad spectrum of pathogens that it encounters, and the diverse microbiome that it harbors To understand the Leaky gut syndrome, one need to get aware of Autonomic nervous system.

People need greater personal incentives to convince them to use COVID-19 tracing apps, according to a new report from Imperial College Business School.
People need greater personal incentives to convince them to use COVID-19 tracing apps, according to a new report from Imperial College Business School. The report also suggests that the sharing of NHSx self-isolation data with the police, a move confirmed on Friday evening by the Department of Health and Social Care, would have a negative effect on the adoption of the app by the public. The researchers state that this would increase the private cost to the potential adopter without providing any countervailing benefit to the individual.

Many previous studies, including a recently published paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Dr. Robert Levenson and Dr. Kuan-Hua Chen at the University of California, Berkeley, has found that couples with higher relationship satisfactions showed greater linkage in their physiological responses (for example, heart rate and skin conductance) during face-to-face interactions, which suggests a greater “biological connection” between the couples.

It would be an understatement to say that oxygen is the most important element on the planet earth. It is too well-known a fact as everyone knows that life cannot sustain itself.
It would be an understatement to say that oxygen is the most important element on the planet earth. It is too well-known a fact as everyone knows that life cannot sustain itself. Use of oxygen is vital for treating patients suffering from low oxygen level also called as hypoxemia. It is used in the treatment of patients with health conditions like chronic asthma, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, heart failure, case of anaphylaxis, major trauma and seizure or hypothermia. In the wake of COVID-19, demand for medical oxygen has really spiraled like never. In order to meet the inc…

Interventional cardiology is a minimally-invasive technique that uses catheters to treat coronary arterial disease, which is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. These procedures allow the heart to continue functioning at its best moving almost 3,000 gallons of blood every day. Based on the European Heart Journal, cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes more than four million deaths annually, accounting for nearly 45% of all deaths in Europe.
The COVID-19 outbreak caused massive procedural deferrals resulting in a spike of late-presenting STEMS and an increase in death rate in patients waiting for procedures Interventional cardiology is a minimally-invasive technique that uses catheters to treat coronary arterial disease, which is one of the leading causes of death in the…

With World Sepsis Day on 13th September 2020, Dr Ron Daniels BEM, Chief Executive of the UK Sepsis Trust, provides his thoughts on the importance of standardising the national track and trigger systems across primary and secondary care to improve early detection in the deterioration of patients.
Standardising the process of monitoring patients to quickly and effectively detect deterioration, is a problem faced by healthcare professionals across the UK. With staffing issues, inter-observer discrepancies and transcription error there are many variables that impact on patient assessments which can subsequently lead to poor outcomes. Studies show that Respiratory Rate (RR) changes 6-8 hours before a major event, and by using a standardised track and trigger process such as NEWS2 to identify a…
