Smart Anticancer'Nanofiber Mesh'(3rd July, 2013)A MANA research team has developed a new nanofiber mesh which is
capable of simultaneously realizing thermotherapy (hyperthermia)
and chemotherapy (treatment with anticancer drugs) of tumors. Theysucceeded in efficiently inducing natural death (apoptosis) of
epithelial cancer cells.Read more
Novel Chemistry for New Class of Antibiotic (3rdJuly, 2013)University of Adelaide research has produced a potential new
antibiotic which could help in the battle against bacterial resistance
to antibiotics. The compound is a protein inhibitor which binds to theenzyme (called biotin protein ligase), stopping its action and
interrupting the life cycle of the bacteria.Read more
Exercise reorganizes the brain to be moreresilient
to stress (3rd July, 2013)
According to a research team based at Princeton University, Physical
activity reorganizes the brain so that its response to stress is reduced
and anxiety is less likely to interfere with normal brain function.The
researchers report in the Journal of Neuroscience that when mice allowed
to exercise regularly experienced a stressor exposure to cold water
their brains exhibited a spike in the activity of neurons that shut off
excitement in the ventral hippocampus, a brain region shown to
regulate anxiety. Read more

Over 25 percent of people newly diagnosed with diabetes are
smokers. Quitting smoking is one of the most important things a
patient can do to improve their health. Smokers with diabetes have an
increased risk of death (especially from heart attacks and strokes),
high LDL cholesterol levels, worsened blood sugar controlled, nerve
damage from diabetes, kidney disease leading to dialysis, foot ulcer
and amputation of toes, feet or legs caused by peripheral vascular
disease.
Exercise and Diabetes
For diabetics, exercise promotes cardiovascular fitness and weight
loss, lowers high blood pressure, improves lipid profiles, improvesblood sugar control in some cases, and leads to an overall sense of
well-being. When combined with dietary lifestyle intervention it can
even help prevent type 2 diabetes in some people. People with
diabetes who want to start an exercise program should consult with
their healthcare provider first. Generally a physical examination and a
resting electrocardiogram (ECG) is done in sedentary adults (age >50
years) with diabetes prior to beginning an exercise program. It is bestto begin a gentle exercise program and to gradually progress to a more
vigorous program as tolerated.
Gentle aerobic exercises, which increase the heart rate for a sustained
period of time, are often the best choice for diabetics. A reasonable
exercise session consists of 10 minutes of stretching and warm-up,
followed by 20 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise. Examples of
aerobic exercise include walking, cycling, swimming, or rowing.Diabetics with well-controlled blood sugar levels and no
complications can usually participate in most any type of exercise.
Exercise does not have to be intense to be beneficial. Persons who
want to increase the intensity of exercise should do so gradually, and

should stop if he or she experiences worrisome symptoms, such as
chest discomfort or nausea.
People with diabetic eye complications (proliferative retinopathy)
may be advised to avoid high-impact activities and strenuous weight-lifting, which can increase blood pressure and cause bleeding in the
eye. People with neurologic complications (peripheral neuropathy)
are usually advised to avoid traumatic weight-bearing exercises such
as running, which can lead to foot ulcers and stress fractures although
this depends on the severity of the nerve damage.
Most of the benefits of exercise for people with diabetes require a
regular, long-term exercise program. Patients should commit toexercising 30 minutes a day most days of the week. People who take
insulin should try to exercise at the same time of the day. This
practice can help to maintain predictable blood sugar levels.
Diabetics who use insulin should :
Measure blood sugar before, during, and after exercise to determine
their body's typical response to exercise. If the pre-exercise bloodsugar reading is 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L) or higher, exercise should
be postponed until the level is under control.
Consider a decrease in insulin dose by about 30 percent during
exercise.
Choose an insulin injection site away from exercising muscles (for
example, avoid the legs if running).
Keep rapidly absorbed carbohydrates on hand (glucose tablets, hard
candies, or juice).
Eat a snack 15 to 30 minutes before exercise, and again every 30
minutes during exercise.

Eat a source of slowly absorbed carbohydrates (dried fruit, fruit
jerky, granola bars, or trail mix) immediately after exercise. This
will counter a post-exercise drop in blood sugar levels.
