High heels cause schizophrenia? And the pork affects the onset of multiple sclerosis?

Rome, October 30 (Reuters) - High heels can cause schizophrenia, pace of women who never falls from the beloved stilettos. Attention also to the effects of jet-lag: open the door to mental illness. And to prevent multiple sclerosis, better to disappear from the table or bacon sausage: pork would cause the disease. These are just some of the most bizarre medical theories passed in review by British newspaper 'Daily Mail', which warns that some seem absurd, but sometimes are based on proven scientific evidence. Well, Jarl Flensmark University of Malmo (Sweden), vows to have evidence that the first cases of schizophrenia have appeared just when they were invented the shoes 'dizzying': not the day before yesterday, but a thousand years ago.
The first shoes with heels are in fact appeared in Mesopotamia, the same area in which they were observed the first psychiatric patients. In England, from 700 onwards, women have discovered the charm of high shoes and hand in hand, there has been an unexplained rise in cases of schizophrenia. Same thing in North America, while among the natives, who use only footwear moccasin, mental illness if they have not seen many. But here's the scientific explanation: when we walk 'plant on the ground', the movements of the feet stimulate the receptors in our end by increasing the activity of brain cells.
'lift' the heel, the receptors are stimulated less and this causes a change in the domestic production of dopamine, a substance known to psychiatrists to play a key role in the onset of schizophrenia. At the Hebrew University and Hadassah Medical School in Israel, some experts have verified that the changes in melatonin secretion, typical of the time zone change related to long trips abroad, are the basis of many diseases of the psyche, such as anxiety, depression and social phobias. A heavy jet-lag, therefore, can only facilitate the onset of symptoms varied. Hoaxes or reality, then? May prefer to opt for the first dog owners, 'accused' by a team of experts from the University of Monaco di aumentare il rischio di tumore al seno nelle loro padrone.
Sembra che la stretta vicinanza con un compagno a quattro zampe amplifichi di 29 volte il pericolo di malattia, come è stato confermato da uno studio norvegese su oltre 14mila cani: quasi il 54% degli animali di sesso femminile era affetto da cancro della mammella. Essendo presente sia nei canidi che negli umani un virus, l'Mmtv, che aumenta il rischio di tumore in entrambe le specie, la conclusione è che il fedele amico a quattro zampe potrebbe infettare anche le donne. Liberi di non crederci, anche se i ricercatori tedeschi hanno rilevato che il 78% delle malate di tumore al seno ha avuto contatti stretti con un cane prima della diagnosi.
Discorso a parte per i vermi intestinali che, in addition to the adverse effects caused to those who 'hosts', however, seem able to protect dall'aterosclerosi: Israeli scientists have been able to demonstrate that these small organisms that cause infections in the womb, producing anti-inflammatory substances that have a preventive effect against neurodegenerative diseases.
Bad news then for those who love the pork: chops, and binge eating tripe alla romana - according to a University of Ottawa, Canada - can increase the risk of a disease previously considered free of the mechanisms of onset-related habits food, multiple sclerosis. The high index of fat content in these foods might have an effect negative on the membranes that surround nerve fibers. This would also explain the limited number of cases in countries where pork is forbidden for religious reasons.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and soccer

there a relationship between ALS and football?

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou-Gehrig's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive destruction of motor neurons in the motor cortex and anterior horn of the spinal cord nerve cells transmit these commands to move from the brain the muscles and when the disease progresses, are no longer able to send its commands, the voluntary muscles are undergo a progressive atrophy and paralysis. The incidence of the disease in the general population is 0.6 to 2.6 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year. The values \u200b\u200bof incidence / prevalence in Italy are the highest in Western countries, with 1.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year: about 800 new patients each year. However, there are two areas of the world particularly affected the island of Guam in the Pacific, and the Kii Peninsula, Japan, probably in relation to environmental factors, such as eating habits. ALS predominantly affects adults, with higher incidence in people aged between 50 and 70 years, of both sexes (with slight prevalence in males). In most cases it is a sporadic disease that can affect anyone, only 10% of cases are transmitted genetically (familial ALS), mostly as an autosomal dominant (familial ALS 1). In familial forms the disease occurs early and have progressed quite quickly. Disease onset is usually insidious and the patient reports weakness and muscle fatigue. Sometimes presents cramps, strange bumps on land and / or difficult to hold objects, non-specific signs and symptoms of a disease that inevitably leading to death within about three years. With the disease progresses more and more muscles are involved to complete paralysis of the limbs, the difficoltà o impossibilità a masticare, deglutire, parlare. Normalmente sono risparmiate le funzioni vescicali e sessuali. Nelle fasi molto avanzate della malattia si rendono necessari presidi medico-chirurgici per rendere possibili l’alimentazione e la respirazione. Più dell’80% dei soggetti affetti muoiono per un disturbo respiratorio, aggravato da superinfezione bronchiale. La SLA è una malattia drammatica che distrugge progressivamente ogni distretto muscolare, rendendo il paziente incapace di compiere qualsiasi atto della vita quotidiana, lasciandolo tuttavia completamente cosciente del proprio decadimento. Le cellule nervose corticali, deputate al controllo dell’intelletto, della memoria e dell’emotività, non are indeed affected by the degenerative process. The psychological impact of the disease is substantial and the depressed mood is common to almost all patients and requires early and specific measures. The diagnosis is made using various tests and laboratory tests, MRI, nerve and muscle biopsy, electrodiagnostic tests. There is currently no effective therapy. ALS, trauma and sports activities. In football players has been observed incidence of ALS in Italy five times higher than the general population. In addition, the age of onset of the disease in this group of subjects is significantly earlier than average. From these observations, several scholars have formulated hypotheses to explain the reason for this "epidemic" in the world of football. The stock represents, to many scholars, a sport at risk of developing ALS for the continuing trauma to which the central nervous system is subjected by the header. The soccer players in fact, differently from other sports, head to hit the ball without any protection. The force with which the ball impacts on the skull is about 500-1200 Newton, however, it spreads quickly even on the neck and trunk. Another hypothesis put forward by some scientists (Felmus 1976; Granieri 1988, Gregoire 1991) and supported by others, is that vigorous physical activity can, together with other environmental factors and constitutional dell'insorgeneza be responsible for the disease. Previous studies, but indirect, have shown that during exercise there is the production of reactive oxygen species. The oxygen free radicals are created, the players, the combination of intense physical effort with other factors, in fact, dietary habits (food pro-oxidants), prolonged use of antiinflammatory drugs, followed by the repeated ischemia iperivascolarizzazione (due microtraumatic to prolonged anaerobic activity or followed by sudden reoxygenation) may represent an additional source of oxidative stress, which the central nervous system is particularly Senis. Esso contiene infatti una grande quantità di substrati facilmente ossidabili.
