Dnešní povídání bych mohl nazvat Postřehy návštěvníka vietnamských obchodů. Hned zkraje přiznám, že mě nezajímá sortiment a nezkoumám ceny. Zajímá mě sociální stránka. První postřeh je už staršího data. Před lety jsme měli malý obchod přes ulici, hned naproti práci. V kase seděla klasická Starovietnamka, česky uměla počítat peníze, nic moc navíc.

‘Brain-fog', dizziness, ringing in the ears, fatigue: everyday symptoms of attacks by a possibly extraordinary weapon. In 2016, a number of CIA agents began to report these symptoms, alongside a possible cause of an unusual sound. Now over 200 Americans and Canadians have reported symptoms, and Kamala Harris, America's vice president, this August delayed a flight to Vietnam because of suspected cases in Hanoi. But what causes Havana Syndrome? Is it the result of attacks by microwave weapons, or is it something more banal? Robert Bartholomew is on the podcast today to talk to James about reports of Havana Syndrome, and the veracity of the microwave weapon and Frey effect theories. Robert discusses the results of experimentation over the years, and the support for a theory of Mass Psychogenic Illness. Alongside Robert Baloh, Robert Bartholomew is a co-author of ‘Havana Syndrome: Mass Psychogenic Illness and the Real Story Behind the Embassy Mystery and Hysteria'.

When I lived in China, I saw the body of Mao Zedong, preserved for veneration in Beijing. Similarly, when I lived in Vietnam, I saw the body of Ho Chi Minh in his mausoleum in Hanoi. God prevented this sort of thing from happening to the body of Moses. If their valued leader had died in their midst, the people might have wanted to preserve his corpse or turn his remains into a shrine. Instead, God Himself took care of the burial and no one knew then or knows now where Moses’ gravesite is (Deut. 34:6). God had already told Moses the specific circumstances of his death before he died (Deut. 32:48–52). Moses would not be allowed to enter the promised land because of his disobedience at Meribah, but he saw it from a distance. He would climb Mount Nebo, see the land, then “be gathered to your people,” an idiom for death. This is a comforting example of God’s grace, extended even to a leader who’d publicly dishonored Him. Moses’ death itself is chronicled by another writer in the last chapter of Deuteronomy. Obediently, Moses climbed Mount Nebo, where “the LORD showed him the whole land” (Deut. 34:1). There before him lay the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham (v. 4)! Then he died at age 120, in supernaturally good health (v. 7). The Israelites mourned for him for 30 days, and Joshua took over the primary leadership role (vv. 8–9). The final three verses are in essence Moses’ epitaph (vv. 10–12): “No prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, who did all those signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt...No one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.” >> What would you want your epitaph to be? What would it say about your achievements, ministry, or character? What would it say about your relationship with the Lord? For more on the death of Moses, read Deuteronomy 34.

Vietnam was, until recently, one of the world's Covid success stories. Its policy of early border closures, lockdowns and track and tracing ensured that fewer than 40 people had died from the disease since the start of the pandemic. This all changed in May and host Karnie Sharp talks to two journalists in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi about what happened and what went wrong. She also hears from three parents and their children in Manila on the effect of remote learning for over 18 months, with most children also unable to leave their homes.

In 2020 Vietnam ran a successful track and trace system, with very few coronavirus infections and for a long time no deaths at all, while other countries had thousands. In 2021 things haven’t gone so well and since July strict stay at home orders have been in place in some cities. Nga Pham, a journalist from BBC World News, and software engineer Kevin Vu talk about what life is like in Hanoi and Ho Chi Min City. Dr Monica Lakhanpaul, Professor of Integrated Community Child Health at University College London, talks to Claudia Hammond about a mystery disease outbreak in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. The symptoms are fever, joint pains, headaches and nausea. People born premature can have an increased risk of developing heart problems later in life. For the first time researchers have shown that breast milk can improve heart performance in premature babies. The new study was done by Afif El-Khuffash who looks after premature babies and is Clinical Professor of Paediatrics at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. And Monica and Claudia discuss the latest research into long Covid in children.

Something called the Havana syndrome has kept the international spy talking about it for five years. Russians call it a mere tabloid fantasy, it looks like one, but now Blinken & Biden have spoken on it, a top intel committee in Washington is probing it and Kamala Harris delayed her visit to Hanoi on this fear. Shekhar Gupta takes us through the growing mystery. Episode 832 of #CutTheClutter

Hanoi has always been one of my favorite cities in Southeast Asia. Charming, pedestrian friendly in many places, historic, vibrant, I miss visiting Hanoi very much. In this episode I return to Hanoi with audio from my 2017 visit around the Old Quarter and The Rising Sun Bridge at Hoan Kiem Lake. LIke many people in Vietnam I have been reluctant to travel around the country much due to the uncertainty of possibly being stuck in a place outside of your base city. Currently travel within the country is virtually impossible unless you are leaving Vietnam. With the news that over 80% of people over 18 have now had their first vaccination in Ho Chi Minh City there is hope that we will eventually be through the worst of this current wave of the pandemic.

Pete Fretwell & Taylor Kiland - Co-Authors of "Lessons from the Hanoi Hotel" Pete was doing a some work for his graduate class when he read Good to Great a business management book by James Collins. The book referenced Admiral James Stockdale and his imprisonment as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton. It wasn't until 2005 that Pete saw a discussion panel on C-SPAN that included several POW's and Taylor, a former naval officer and military history author of over 18 books. Pete contacted her and their project started. For seven years the pair researched to create the book; Lessons From the Hanoi Hilton: Six Characteristics of High Performance Teams. It took all that time to answer the question: "Why are so many of those that were imprisoned, abused, and tortured in the North Vietnamese prison camp so resilient and successful in subsequent years?" The answer would be Admiral James Stockdale and his example of leadership. Pete is looking to expand his research to include Stockdale's farming background as a foundation of leadership. Taylor is working on several writing projects. You'll want to keep tabs on both of them for future books.

"Embrace your journey, and it will take you to where you are supposed to be." Dayvee Sutton When we reflect on our journeys to where we are, we see how different events and experiences led to our current positions. Therefore, we must embrace our journey to find meaning and fulfillment in life. This is according to our guest today, Dayvee Sutton, who believes that her present is largely explained by everything she has experienced in her previous experiences.  Dayvee Sutton is an investigative storyteller who travels the world uncovering the unseen in the most picturesque places. From hunting for pink dolphins and black caiman in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest to riding a motorbike through the streets of Hanoi, Vietnam, and gritty reporting in the infamous La Perla neighborhood in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after Hurricanes Irma and Maria. She uses travel adventures as the gateway to draw in audiences. Her reporting range covers everything from fun holiday travel tips to breaking news stories like navigating trips in the pandemic and important issues like the climate crisis. Dayvee's unique perspective as a black woman in this space allows her to explore how the climate crisis affects the lives of women, indigenous people, people of color, and others whose needs and welfare tend to come last around the world. Her storytelling approach is relatable and tangible for audiences from her years as a journalist and not a scientist. Dayvee's work can be seen on NBC News and TODAY Show, CNN, Dr. Oz, and The Weather Channel. She produced and hosted two seasons of an adventure travel show for Amazon Prime Video called "Beyond the Usual'', the series "Extraordinary Experiences" for USA TODAY Network, and is a Pathfinder host for "Lonely Planet." Dayvee also is one of the producers for "Health Minute" and "Consumer Watch'' for CNN New source. In today's episode, our guest will discuss her travel experiences and how her journey has led her to discover her art, which is entrepreneurial journalism. Listen in! Social Media https://twitter.com/dayveesutton   https://facebook.com/dayveesutton   https://twitter.com/dayveesutton   https://www.DayveeSutton.com So my background is as a traditional local news journalist, and most of my career was spent in sports, which I did for about 12 years. [4:01] I then co-hosted a lifestyle and entertainment show locally, and that is where I really kind of found what I like to do. [4:13] Everything in my background is like a full circle to making sense to right now, starting from where I was born and raised. [4:24] I grew up in south of the suburbs of Los Angeles, where I was exposed to all kinds of cultures just being in a diverse friend group, and I was always so curious. [4:30] Come to curving a whole journey of 15 years in news media, making a career pivot about six years ago to start my production company and go full-on in and tell travel stories. [5:28] My background and even my college education help me take a deeper dive because what I learned as having a degree in world religions are empathy and perspective. [5:48] One of my kind of taglines is that my job is to inspire you to go, and the audience consists of people who want to be inspired to try and go, but most of the audience are just interested in learning. [7:54] Another underlying mission in my work is to dismantle colonialism in travel, and I know that can be triggering, but the whole industry is based on that. [8:20] That means everything is set up to accommodate your comfort and your standards instead of allowing you to immerse yourself into how they do things. [8:50] In my stories, whether they are the short, fun ones or on video, or if they're a longer, deeper dive one, I kind of try to unpack the impact and how to do it better. [9:11] Being humble is a better approach than demanding that somebody tend your way just because you are who you are. [12:45] You stand out and probably will get treated more favorably if you are humble in your approach because they aren't used to it. [13:18] Basic manners and kindness does go a long way. [14:20] Commercial Break. [17:15] Travel is the best education, I think, and so whenever I touched the ground into a new place, I have my ears and eyes wide open, and I try to just soak it all up. [19:34] I recently unearthed and digitized these VHS tapes of when my dad took us to different places, and it was a bit surreal seeing little me and doing what I do now. [20:04] Talk about a full circle is just learning about this child me, and what I do now has just been amazing. [21:30] I love the world and learning about how people live, and it is those human bits anywhere around the world that inspire me to encourage people to travel. [21:45] Whatever little box we have grown up in, when we start to see that people are all the same, it breaks down all stigma, stereotypes, and bigotry that they might have grown up with. [22:38] I was working in a traditional newsroom when I became inspired by another journalist who is a celebrity journalist, Soledad O'Brien. [23:50] I started to investigate the idea of entrepreneurial journalists, which is different than a freelance journalist. [ 54:51] In my company, we create ideas like programs segments, and we produce particular content for different networks and outlets, and my approach is a little deeper. [25:12] One of the things that I do pretty regularly is I am on-air contributor to several national programs. People are curious about how to do that, so I'm coming up with an e-course to show people that any expertise is fit for TV. [25:38] Your dream is your dream, and there are lots of obstacles along the way, but if it were easy, everyone would do it. So keep going.

BBC journalist Nga Pham asks why irregular Vietnamese migration is the second highest into the UK (Albanian nationals are the first), and why the numbers are rising every year. Even the tragedy of the Essex lorry disaster in 2019, when 39 Vietnamese people were suffocated in a container lorry as they came over the Channel, is not enough to put them off. Coming from some of the most economically deprived provinces in Vietnam, these families pay from $30-45,000 to people smugglers to send hundreds of their children out each year in the hope of a better future. The land route out through China, Russia, Europe can take months if not years, often involving coercion, trafficking and sexual exploitation along the way. Then Calais and the final peril of crossing by boat or lorry awaits them, before trying to find a job and make a life here. Nga talks to people in Vietnam about their desperation to leave and why the 39 deaths have not deterred them, and to those who have returned, sending back their earnings to clear family debts, build houses, and buy motorbikes for their relations. She also talks to those who were caught up in trafficking networks, discovered by the police and deported back to Vietnam with nothing to show for their years of slave labour. In the UK, Nga meets people who have arrived by container just like the Essex 39 - people who are now working in nail bars, cannabis farms and restaurants, hiding in plain sight. She talks to modern slavery lawyers, anti-trafficking police units across the country, and the National Crime Agency which has an officer permanently based in Hanoi. Nga asks the Minister for Immigration what the UK government strategy is for ending this misery of debt bondage and cheap labour. Presented by Nga Pham Produced by Anna Horsbrugh-Porter A Just Radio production for BBC Radio 4

This week's episode of #MoveLeftIdiots is live! We talk the continued withdrawal of US Troops from Afghanistan, the idiotic hysteria around "Havana Syndrome" Kamala bungling it in Vietnam, & Covid updates.

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The US State Department provided an update on the number of Americans still waiting to be evacuated from Afghanistan. Across the street from the White House, a prayer vigil for Afghan women and children who face an uncertain future was held. CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, Penny Nance, joins to tell us more about today's prayer vigil and why she felt it was so important to organize. Meanwhile, House lawmakers are headed home after passing frameworks for the bipartisan infrastructure bill, a $3.5 trillion budget blueprint and a voting rights measure. Republicans are worried about the huge numbers in these measures and tax hikes for American families. Overseas, two unconfirmed cases of Havana Syndrome delayed Vice President Kamala Harris, en route to her diplomatic stop in Hanoi, Vietnam. Former Representative and Director of the American Center for Political Leadership at Southeastern University, Dennis Ross, joins to talk more about these mysterious health issues and why it is so concerning. Finally this evening, the 42nd edition of the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples ended in the city of Rimini, Italy. The meeting proposed an open exchange of views on cultural, religious, political and artistic issues. Martina Saltamacchia, Professor of Medieval History at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, joins to tell us more about the meeting.

Special Guest former CIA Officer Marc Polymeropoulos joins us to talk about VP Kamala Harris and the suspected 'Havana Syndrome' incident in Hanoi and also shares his perspective on the unfolding situation in Afghanistan.  

Live from the no panic zone—I'm Steve Gruber—I am America's Voice—God Bless America this is the Steve Gruber Show—FIERCE AND FEARLESS – And delivering the cold hard truth—even if it hurts your feelings—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Three— Kamala Harris and her flight get grounded after Hanoi gets hit with Havana Syndrome—the bizarre illness that has left people debilitated all over the world—   Two— The push to force Americans to get the vaccine—is picking up steam—and the people digging in their heels against the jab— are also getting much more stubborn—the pandemic—is far from over—   One— President Joe Biden's support among American's is cratering—in a way like I have never seen—he has lost 10 points in less than 10 days—   And the USA Today Suffolk University Poll suggests—its about to get much worse—and it's all because—it has become crystal clear that Biden is not capable—or competent enough to be President at all—and in fact his dangerous behavior is driving the United States toward a cliff—or two we may not be able to avoid—   First the utter failure in Afghanistan—has left millions of us ashamed and embarrassed—as we know—Americans and our allies are stranded in Kabul and the surrounding areas—unable to reach the airport—and certain to face torture and death if they cannot catch a flight—   It has become crystal clear—that it is the Taliban calling the shots in closing days of the 20 year war—threatening Biden and The United States—with ‘serious consequences' if we do not get out by August 31st—   In fact the new polling shows only 26% of Americans support what has happened in Afghanistan so far—I would like to meet those people and see if the lights are actually on—   39% support the President on the economy—and that is about to take a big turn for the worse—you watch—as Democrats are working desperately to ram through the entire $3.5 Trillion dollar green new deal—free college and daycare for all and too many other freebies to remember—they made one big step yesterday—and we will hear shortly what that may mean—   In fact the only area in which Biden is above water—is handling of the pandemic—and that is just barely—   In fact the collapse of support for Biden and the Democrats is of historic proportions—and will lead to a complete reckoning by next November—and trust me—we can still turn it around by then—but Republicans—no scratch that—make that conservatives—actual conservatives need to win about 60 seats in the house and 5 in the senate—then ride this disaster to a new Presidential election in 2024—when the senile Destructor in Chief can go live in the basement forever—   Lets begin here

The U.S. says it's sticking to its Aug. 31 pullout date, as the Taliban tell women to wait to return to work because militants aren't used to them. The bizarre Havana syndrome is believed to be the reason Vice President Kamala Harris' flight to Hanoi was delayed. And he certainly gathered no moss, Rolling Stones legend Charlie Watts remembered.

Cocoa flavanols contribute to faster oxygen uptake kinetics, improved blood flow Liverpool Hope University, August 4, 2021 A bioactive compound found in cocoa powder and dark chocolate could help middle-aged adults enjoy exercise, a new study has suggested. The research analyzed the potential health benefits of cocoa flavanols, a plant nutrient extracted from cocoa beans. Cocoa flavanols are found in abundance in cocoa powder, and to a lesser extent in dark chocolate, and can be consumed as a supplement. Because cocoa flavanols have a 'vasodilatory' effect, helping to increase blood flow, they've been shown to prevent blood clots and even combat memory decline.  Now, a team of scientists from Liverpool Hope University and Liverpool John Moores University have tested the effects of cocoa flavanols when it comes to exercise in a group of sedentary adults aged between 40 and 60 years old. And the report found that cocoa flavanols contribute to faster oxygen uptake kinetics—with improved blood flow the likely cause.  Associate Professor Simon Marwood, subject lead in sport science at Liverpool Hope University, says the findings could be important when it comes to convincing people to get off the sofa and then stick with an exercise program. He said: "One barrier to starting an exercise plan is poor fitness in the first place, perhaps because of the discomfort associated with what might otherwise be light exercise.  "Without frequent exercise, aging results in a slowing in the rate at which our oxygen consumption increases at the onset of exercise. This is due to impairments in the ability to supply blood to the exercising muscles at the onset of exercise. "In previous studies, we have shown that this slowing of the rate of increase of oxygen consumption has a direct and inhibiting effect on the ability to tolerate exercise. "The finding of faster increases in oxygen consumption at the onset of exercise with cocoa flavanols supplementation is therefore really encouraging for this age group since it suggests that a simple nutritional supplement can improve exercise tolerance, and therefore enhance the likelihood of sustaining an exercise program. "This is a relatively small study but it's encouraging and has significant results, which could be the basis for further research." Lead author Daniel Sadler, of Liverpool John Moores' School of Sport and Exercise Science, concludes: "These novel effects of cocoa flavanols in this demographic may contribute to improved tolerance of moderate-activity physical activities, which appear commonly present in daily life." The research was published in the journal European Journal of Applied Physiology. Professor Marwood says it's important to note that over-consumption of chocolate, dark or otherwise, isn't to be encouraged, although dark chocolate may contain cocoa flavanols. And the substance is most commonly available as a supplement, which is often used by amateur athletes to boost performance.  The research itself focused on a group of healthy, middle-aged men and women with an average age of 45 years old and who typically engaged in less than two hours of structured exercise training per week. Over a period of five weeks, prior to consuming the cocoa supplement, the group was put through a series of trials, using a lab-based exercise bike, where they were incrementally pushed to exhaustion. These trials were performed in order to establish a person's VO2 peak, the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use during exercise, as well as power output.  The test subjects were then given either a daily 400 mg cocoa flavanol supplement or a placebo over the course of seven days.  And at the end of that week, they got back on the cycle ergometers and took part in a series of step exercise tests, where they started pedaling at a baseline before the load was ramped up to either moderate or severe-intensity work rates. The key measurement being analyzed was pulmonary VO2 kinetics, or τVO2, the time it takes for oxygen delivery to respond to the demands of exercise.  The shorter the response time, the better equipped someone is to tolerate the given exercise.  And what the research team discovered was that when the test subjects who'd consumed the cocoa flavanols were subjected to 'moderate' exercise, the VO2 kinetics time was 'significantly reduced' from around 40 seconds to 34 seconds.  This reduction of six seconds is important, the team states, because it exceeds the minimum physiologically relevant change of around 5 seconds.  The scientists add: "The reduction in τVO2 observed after cocoa flavanol supplementation in our middle-aged individuals reflects a shift toward values typically observed in younger healthy individuals." And the report states: "Ultimately, the findings of the present study may have clinical potential in contributing to improved tolerance of daily life activity in middle-aged adults." Flavonoids aren't just found in cocoa—they're also abundant in green tea, fruit and vegetables—and have anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant properties.  Liverpool John Moores' Daniel Sadler says you shouldn't rely on eating dark chocolate to get an effective dose of flavanols.  He explains: "It is preferable to take supplements over eating dark chocolate since potential beneficial effects of cocoa flavanols occur during exercise when high doses are consumed—greater than 400 mg flavanols—and because dark chocolate contains fat and sugar that may negate the beneficial potential of any bioactive constituents." In April this year, a separate study by researchers at the University of Birmingham found blood vessels were able to function better during mental stress when test subjects were given a cocoa drink containing high levels of flavanols compared to when drinking a non-flavanol enriched drink.  The study, published in the journal Nutrients, could help to combat stress-induced ischemia while also paving the way for offering 'improved guidance to people about how to make the most of their dietary choices during stressful periods."     Vitamin D reduces the need for opioids in palliative cancer Karolinska Institute (Sweden), August 4, 2021 Patients with vitamin D deficiency who received vitamin D supplements had a reduced need for pain relief and lower levels of fatigue in palliative cancer treatment, a randomized and placebo-controlled study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet shows. The study is published in the scientific journal Cancers. Among patients with cancer in the palliative phase, vitamin D deficiency is common. Previous studies have shown that low levels of vitamin D in the blood may be associated with pain, sensitivity to infection, fatigue, depression, and lower self-rated quality of life. A previous smaller study, which was not randomized or placebo-controlled, suggested that vitamin D supplementation could reduce opioid doses, reduce antibiotic use, and improve the quality of life in patients with advanced cancer. 244 cancer patients with palliative cancer, enrolled in ASIH, (advanced medical home care), took part in the current study in Stockholm during the years 2017-2020. Slower increase in opiod doses All study participants had a vitamin D deficiency at the start of the study. They received either 12 weeks of treatment with vitamin D at a relatively high dose (4000 IE/day) or a placebo. The researchers then measured the change in opioid doses (as a measurement of pain) at 0, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the start of the study. "The results showed that vitamin D treatment was well tolerated and that the vitamin D-treated patients had a significantly slower increase in opioid doses than the placebo group during the study period. In addition, they experienced less cancer-related fatigue compared to the placebo group," says Linda Björkhem-Bergman, senior physician at Stockholms Sjukhem and associate professor at the Department of Neurobiology, Healthcare Sciences, and Society, Karolinska Institutet. Large study within ASIH On the other hand, there was no difference between the groups in terms of self-rated quality of life or antibiotic use. "The effects were quite small, but statistically significant and may have clinical significance for patients with vitamin D deficiency who have cancer in the palliative phase. This is the first time it has been shown that vitamin D treatment for palliative cancer patients can have an effect on both opioid-sensitive pain and fatigue," says first author of the study Maria Helde Frankling, senior physician at ASIH and postdoc at the Department of Neurobiology, Healthcare Science and Society, Karolinska Institutet. The study is one of the largest drug studies conducted within ASIH in Sweden. One weakness of the study is the large drop-out rate. Only 150 out of 244 patients were able to complete the 12-week study because many patients died of their cancerduring the study.   Increasingly poor physical function from age 65 linked to increased risk of death University of Paris (France), August 5, 2021 Increasing poor physical (motor) function from around age 65 is associated with an increased risk of death, finds research published by The BMJ today. Signs of increasing decline, such as difficulty getting up from a chair or getting dressed, emerge up to 10 years before death, the findings show. The researchers therefore suggest that early detection of changes in motor function “might offer opportunities for prevention and targeted interventions.” It is well known that motor function, also commonly known as physical function or physical capability, declines with age, but rates of decline differ widely from person to person. And while studies show that decline in cognitive (mental) skills can emerge up to 15 years before death, it's not clear whether the same is true for physical abilities. To explore this further, researchers examined several measures of motor function for their associations with mortality over a 10 year period from around age 65. Their findings are based on over 6,000 participants of the Whitehall II Study, which recruited participants aged 35-55 years in 1985-88 to look at the impact of social, behavioural, and biological factors on long term health.  Between 2007 and 2016, participants underwent motor function assessments on up to three occasions. These included measures of walking speed, chair rise time, and grip strength, along with self-reported measures of functioning and difficulties with activities of daily living, such as dressing, using the toilet, cooking and grocery shopping. Deaths from any cause were then recorded until October 2019. After taking account of other potentially influential factors, the researchers found that poorer motor function was associated with an increased mortality risk of 22% for walking speed, 15% for grip strength and 14% for timed chair rises, while difficulties with activities of daily living were associated with a 30% increased risk. These associations became progressively stronger with later life assessments. Further analysis showed different patterns of change between participants who died and those who survived.  For example, participants who died had poorer chair rise times than survivors up to 10 years before death, poorer self-reported functioning up to seven years before death, and more difficulties with activities of daily living up to four years before death.  These differences increased steadily in the period leading to death. This is an observational study, so can't establish cause and the researchers point to some limitations, such as being unable to examine trajectories of motor function by cause of death or in specific minority groups, and not accounting for events such as falls or hospital admissions. Nevertheless, they say this study “adds to the sparse literature on terminal decline in motor function and, to our knowledge, is the first to examine terminal and age related long term trajectories of multiple measures of motor function.” The ageing of populations worldwide makes understanding of the functional status of older adults and change in functioning with age important, they write. These results suggest that strategies to reduce accelerated decline should start before old age, and that early detection of changes in motor function might offer opportunities for prevention and targeted interventions, they conclude. This study adds to a rapidly growing evidence base providing novel insights on healthy ageing, say researchers in a linked editorial. They point out that as the study participants continue to age and more data becomes available, this will help to inform the development of interventions to promote healthy ageing.  Although the authors suggest that “early detection of changes in motor function might offer opportunities for prevention and targeted interventions,” what these interventions would be and what specifically they would be aiming to achieve is unclear, they note. “Despite the focus on death as an outcome in these analyses, our goal should always be to add life to years, not just years to life.”   Researchers propose new treatment to prevent kidney stones – HCA in Garcinia Cambogia University of Houston, August 8, 2021    Researchers have found evidence that a natural fruit extract is capable of dissolving calcium oxalate crystals, the most common component of human kidney stones. This finding could lead to the first advance in the treatment of calcium oxalate stones in 30 years.   Jeffrey Rimer, associate professor of chemical engineering at the University of Houston, was lead author of the study, published Aug. 8 in the online edition of Nature. The work offers the first evidence that the compound hydroxycitrate (HCA) is an effective inhibitor of calcium oxalate crystal growth that, under certain conditions, is actually able to dissolve these crystals. Researchers also explain how it works.   The findings are the result of a combination of experimental studies, computational studies and human studies, Rimer said.   Kidney stones are small, hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys, affecting up to 12 percent of men and seven percent of women. High blood pressure, diabetes and obesity can increase the risk, and the reported incidence is on the rise. Preventive treatment has not changed much over the last three decades. Doctors tell patients who are at risk of developing stones to drink lots of water and avoid foods rich in oxalate, such as rhubarb, okra, spinach and almonds. They often recommend taking citrate (CA), in the form of potassium citrate, a supplement that can slow crystal growth, but some people are unable to tolerate the side effects.   The project grew out of preliminary work done by collaborator John Asplin, a nephrologist at Litholink Corporation, who suggested HCA as a possible treatment. HCA is chemically similar to CA and is also available as a dietary supplement. "HCA shows promise as a potential therapy to prevent kidney stones," the researchers wrote. "HCA may be preferred as a therapy over CA (potassium citrate)."   In addition to Rimer and Asplin, authors on the paper include Giannis Mpourmpakis and his graduate student, Michael G. Taylor, of the University of Pittsburgh; Ignacio Granja of Litholink Corporation, and Jihae Chung, a UH graduate student working in Rimer's lab.   The head-to-head studies of CA and HCA determined that while both compounds inhibit the growth of calcium oxalate crystals, HCA was more potent and displayed unique qualities that are advantageous for the development of new therapies. The team of researchers then used atomic force microscopy, or AFM, to study interactions between the crystals, CA and HCA under realistic growth conditions. According to Rimer, the technique allowed them to record crystal growth in real time with near-molecular resolution.   Chung noted that the AFM images recorded the crystal actually shrinking when exposed to specific concentrations of HCA. Rimer suspected the initial finding was an abnormality, as it is rare to see a crystal actually dissolve in highly supersaturated growth solutions. The most effective inhibitors reported in the literature simply stop the crystal from growing.   It turned out that Chung's initial finding was correct. Once they confirmed it is possible to dissolve crystals in supersaturated solutions, researchers then looked at reasons to explain why that happened.   Mpourmpakis and Taylor applied density functional theory (DFT) - a highly accurate computational method used to study the structure and properties of materials - to address how HCA and CA bind to calcium and to calcium oxalate crystals. They discovered HCA formed a stronger bond with crystal surfaces, inducing a strain that is seemingly relieved by the release of calcium and oxalate, leading to crystal dissolution.   HCA was also tested in human subjects, as seven people took the supplement for three days, allowing researchers to determine that HCA is excreted through urine, a requirement for the supplement to work as a treatment.   While Rimer said the research established the groundwork to design an effective drug, questions remain. Long-term safety, dosage and additional human trials are needed, he said.   "But our initial findings are very promising," he said. "If it works in vivo, similar to our trials in the laboratory, HCA has the potential to reduce the incidence rate of people with chronic kidney stone disease."       Prolonged treatment with gotu kola improved memory, reduced amyloid beta pathology and activated antioxidant response pathway Oregon Health & Science University, August 4, 2021 According to news reporting out of Portland, Oregon, research stated, “The medicinal herb Centella asiatica has been long been used for its neuroprotective and cognitive enhancing effects. We have previously shown that two weeks of treatment with a water extract of Centella asiatica (CAW) improves cognition and activates the endogenous antioxidant response pathway without altering amyloid-beta (A beta) plaque burden.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), “Here, we assess the effect of long-term treatment of CAW in the 5xFAD mouse model of A beta accumulation. Four-month-old 5xFAD mice were treated with CAW in their drinking water (2 g/L) for three months at which point they underwent cognitive testing as well as analysis of A beta plaque levels and antioxidant and synaptic gene expression. In order to confirm the involvement of the antioxidant regulatory transcription factor NRF2 on the effects of CAW on synaptic plasticity, neurons isolated from 5xFAD mice were also treated with CAW and the targeted inhibitor ML385. Three months of treatment with CAW improved spatial and contextual memory as well as executive function in 5xFAD mice. This improvement was accompanied by increased antioxidant gene expression and a decrease in A beta plaque burden relative to untreated 5xFAD animals. In isolated neurons, treatment with ML385 blocked the effects of CAW on dendritic arborization and synaptic gene expression. These results suggest that prolonged CAW exposure could be beneficial in Alzheimer's disease and that these effects likely involve NRF2 activation.” According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Moreover, these findings suggest that targeting NRF2 itself may be a relevant therapeutic strategy for improving synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease.” This research has been peer-reviewed.     Resveratrol: The key to reducing elderly frailty? Universidad Pablo de Olavide (Spain) , August 9, 2021 The so-called red wine nutrient resveratrol may help maintain muscle performance and reduce frailty in the elderly, research in mice has suggested.  Using 48 young, mature and old mice models, the study found resveratrol improved muscle performance in the mature and old animals but not in the young.  They found resveratrol – found in grapes, red wine, walnuts, peanuts and berries – “primed” the effect of exercise by increasing endurance, coordination and strength in the old animals as well as providing higher protection against oxidative damage and an increase in the mitochondrial mass responsible for the energy-generating process essential for cell metabolism.  “Our results indicate that resveratrol can be considered an ergogenic compound that helps maintain muscle performance during ageing and subsequently reduces frailty and increases muscle performance in old individuals practising moderate exercise,” wrote the researchers from Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Seville, Spain and the Vietnam National University in Hanoi, Vietnam.  Study details Each experiment group animal was given a daily dose of about 500 μg of resveratrol for 4.5 months. After this period the mice were randomly divided again into sedentary and trained groups. The trained mice were adapted to exercise then put on a rodent treadmill for 20 minutes per day, five days a week for six weeks. The animals were then killed by cervical dislocation and the gastrocnemius muscle was quickly removed. Old polyphenol, young results  Discussing the results, lead author and professor at the Universidad Pablo de Olavide Dr Guillermo Lopez-Lluch told us while this was not the first time the polyphenol had been looked at within health ageing, this was the first time it had been associated with the improvement of muscle capacity in ageing. Asked if the results meant older people should be recommended or even prescribed resveratrol, Professor Lopez-Lluch said: “The use of nutraceuticals such as resveratrol can be recommended in the case of poor diets lacking fresh vegetables rich in polyphenols. “In aged people an unbalanced diet must be supplemented with extracts rich in these compounds accompanied by a more active life.” In 2011 research in Italy estimated between 11–50% of over 80s suffer from age-related muscle loss sarcopenia, with the problem particularly prevalent in care homes.  “Maintenance of muscle functionality is important to avoid frailty and to increase the independence and quality of life during ageing. It seems clear that for daily life activity, and hence a good quality of life, not only strength but also endurance is needed,” the researchers wrote in the British Journal of Nutrition.  “Apart from the maintenance of a series of basic exercises, several nutritional bioactive compounds have been proposed to increase muscle function during ageing and to avoid sarcopenia.”  The researchers said the "most controversial problem" with identifying effects of bioactive compounds was to find if the positive effects found in preclinical studies in animals produced the same response in humans. "Regarding the effect of different polyphenols on physical capacity in humans, different clinical trials carried out to date have been unsuccessful or show controversial results and further studies are needed." Yet Professor Lopez-Lluch said his research team did not have plans to study this effect of resveratrol in humans. Instead they were currently awaiting funds to carry out a study about exercise, quality of nutrition and quality of life in elderly people. “We hope this study will get a grant in the next months.”
