Scorpion-derived 'tumour paint' to fight brain cancer

The Food and Drug Administration has approved the product, developed by Blaze Bioscience, for study in human trials in US.
  
During the phase one trial, the tumour paint will be used on an estimated 21 people with a glioma, or tumour in the brain or spine, 'ABC News' reported.
  
The 'paint' will light up the tumour with special florescent molecules, allowing surgeons to remove cancerous tissue more effectively and safely.
  
The paint is developed by utilizing a protein derived from the paralyzing venom of an Israeli death stalker scorpion.
  
The re-engineered protein, which binds to cancer cells, is then joined with a fluorescent molecule 'flashlight' that has been used safely in human surgeries for decades, the report said.
  
"It's really hard to get molecules into the brain due to the blood-brain barrier," said Dr Jim Olsen, a brain cancer specialist at Seattle Children's Hospital and a professor at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle.
  
"Most drugs that are made by the drug companies can't penetrate that barrier. The scorpion has found a way to get these proteins in the brain," said Olson, who developed the product.
  
Olson said that in earlier canine trials, the paint was able to show small amounts of cancer cells that would be nearly impossible to identify with the human eye.

WHO advocates salt reduction to prevent heart disease

"The WHO recommends a daily salt intake of less than five grams per adult or just under a teaspoon. The recommendation is even lower for children, depending on their energy needs," Poonam Khetrapal Singh, WHO regional director for South-East Asia said in a message on the occasion of World Heart Day.

High salt intake increases the risk of high blood pressure and is associated with heart disease, stroke and other diseases. An estimated 2.5 million deaths could be prevented each year if global salt consumption were reduced to the recommended level, she said.

Singh added that reducing salt consumption is a cost-effective public health intervention and needs a multi-pronged and multi-sectoral approach in which everyone has to contribute.

Governments have a critical role to play and must create awareness and develop policies that enable populations to consume adequate quantities of safe and healthy diet, with low salt content, she added.

The food industry needs to be engaged to reduce salt content and provide healthy food options by reformulating processed foods to reduced salt options, said Singh.

Simple household-level interventions such as adding less salt to food while cooking, removing the salt dispenser from the dining table, limiting the availability of high salt ready-to-eat food, increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables and guiding children's taste buds through a diet of mostly unprocessed foods without adding salt would go a long way in improving the health of people, she added.

Simple things you can do to make your relationship more exciting and healthy

Follow these relationship rules and we assure you, love will feel like a bed of roses.

Give some space to each other: As much as it may be a couple thing, you need individual memories and special moments too. To keep a relationship fresh and exciting, you need to experience things separately and then come together. This can certainly make you relish your togetherness more. The more you linger around each other, the faster you would get bored of each other. Have your own space and give him his. Don’t make your partner your world. Spend time with your girl gang while he hangs out with his boys. This will also give the two of you a chance to miss one another.

Be generous with hugs: Never lose a chance to hug your partner and let him know that you are there for him. Hugs can lift your mood instantly. They make one feel comfortable and relaxed.

Compliment your partner: Praise your spouse even if it’s a regular chore or habit. Compliments are the best way to thank a special someone for the effort they’ve taken for you, however small it may be. This will not only make your partner feel close to you but also bring an urge to do things in a way you want them to be.

Its ok to have crushes: Understand that your partner can have crushes on others too. It’s a difficult thought, but if you admire someone else, so can your partner.

Behave like children now and then: A few pillow fights or cute wrestles can never hurt anyone. But it can help both of you enjoy the relationship. Talking like a baby or calling your spouse by silly names will boost up your relation.

Be considerate: Don't expect your partner to be in bright mood. For example, we all hope to go home and watch a movie together and be happy. But often we are unaware of the circumstances our partner is in. So before expecting and making plans, make a phone call to ensure your partner is in best of his moods.

Go to bed together: This may be a small gesture but has lot of importance. Don't let your favourite show on TV or an interesting book hold you back. Getting into bed together, cuddling and talking about your day would bring both of you closer and also give a feeling of how important you both are for each other.

Don't force change: People change over time, that’s a fact of life. It is something that happens naturally and it cannot be stopped. If you try to control the changes and tailor them according to your needs, then you will only find yourself fighting a losing battle. Trying to change your partner to the way you want, all the time, could only end up frustrating them over time.
