【Health Reminder】

Adult movement in children is prone to joint damage

Trampoline interest classes, children's "stacked Luohan" training, and more and more adult children's sports. In this regard, Wang Hongtao, a rehabilitation therapist in the Department of Joint and Sports Medicine of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, reminded that children choose sports that are too adult and should beware of sports injuries.

It is difficult for people to control their anger when they are hungry

A study published in the Journal of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of Sciences tested blood glucose levels and anger levels for 21 days in 107 couples. It turned out that the lower the participants' blood sugar levels, the more needles were inserted into voodoo dolls, and they were also more likely to irritate each other.

The researchers say that between meals, the amount of glucose available for the brain to consume gradually decreases over time. Glucose is the brain's primary fuel for attention and thinking, and once the brain receives hunger signals, it will be more difficult than usual to communicate with people, and it will be difficult to do simple tasks. When blood sugar levels are too low, the brain also produces frustrating physiological responses that make people more irritable and have a hard time controlling angry emotions.

【Drug Progress】

Submission of the first drug for the treatment of presbyopia

Allergan, a subsidiary of AbbVie, presented the complete results of the Phase 3 clinical study of the ophthalmic drug agn-190584 at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.

agn-190584 is a modified new drug preparation of pilocarpine (m-choline receptor agonist), the main mechanism of action is to enhance the depth of focus by constricting the pupil, improve near and middle vision, while maintaining the pupil's response to different light conditions, this effect is called dynamic pupil modulation. Studies have shown that the drug can significantly improve the near vision of adult patients with presbyopia.

【Knowledge Update】

Doing aerobic exercise prevents memory loss

Brain white matter degeneration is associated with cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease, and a new study published in neuroimage has found that areas of white matter that are prone to aging retain a certain degree of plasticity, and under the action of aerobic exercise, they can also develop in a good direction, so that participants' memory is improved.

In the study, researchers collected samples of 180 elderly people who were healthy but generally inactive. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups, walking, dancing and control, and met 3 times a week over a 6-month period. The results found that participants in the walking and dancing groups had an increase in their white matter after 6 months of aerobic exercise. In other words, physical activity has a positive effect on the brain's white matter.
