Unsafe Drinking Water

93% bottled water samples ‘contaminated’ (Hindustan Times"20180316)

http://paper.hindustantimes.com/epaper/viewer.aspx

Report states contamination by plastic particles most likely occurring during industrial

process of bottling

We know that they are connected to these synthetic chemicals in the environment and we

know that plastics are providing kind of a means to get those chemicals into our bodies.

SHERRI MASON, State University of New York

MIAMI: The world’s leading brands of bottled water are contaminated with tiny plastic

particles that may be seeping in during the packaging process, according to a major study

across nine countries published on Wednesday.

Experts cautioned that the extent of the risk to health by such contamination remains unclear.

“Widespread contamination” by plastic was found in the study, led by microplastic researcher

Sherri Mason of the State University of New York at Fredonia, according to a summary

released by Orb Media, a US-based nonprofit media collective.

Researchers tested 250 bottles of water in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Lebanon,

Mexico, Thailand, and the United States.

Plastic was identified in 93 % of the samples, which included major name brands such as

Aqua, Aquafina, Dasani, Evian, Nestle Pure Life and San Pellegrino.

The plastic debris included polypropylene, nylon, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET),

which is used to make bottle caps.

“In this study, 65% of the particles we found were actually fragments, not fibres,” Mason told

AFP.

“I think it is coming through the process of bottling the water. I think that most of the plastic

that we are seeing is coming from the bottle itself, it is coming from the cap, it is coming

from the industrial process of bottling the water,” Mason said.

Particle concentration ranged from “zero to more than 10,000 likely plastic particles in a

single bottle,” said the report.

On average, plastic particles in the 100 micron (0.10 millimeter) size range — considered

“microplastics,” — were found at an average rate of 10.4 plastic particles per litre.

Even smaller particles were more common — averaging about 325 per litre.

Other brands that were found to contain plastic contaminated included Bisleri, Epura,

Gerolsteiner, Minalba and Wahaha.

Experts cautioned that the extent of the risk to human health posed by such contamination

remains unclear.

“There are connections to increases in certain kinds of cancer to lower sperm count to

increases in conditions like ADHD and autism,” said Mason.

“We know that they are connected to these synthetic chemicals in the environment and we

know that plastics are providing kind of a means to get those chemicals into our bodies.”

TIME TO DITCH PLASTIC?

Previous research by Orb Media has found plastic particles in tap water, too, but on a smaller

scale.

“Tap water, by and large, is much safer than bottled water,” said Mason.

The three-month study used a technique developed by the University of East Anglia’s School

of Chemistry to “see” microplastic particles by staining them using fluorescent Nile Red dye,

which makes plastic fluorescent when irradiated with blue light.

“We have been involved with independently reviewing the findings and methodology to

ensure the study is robust and credible,” said lead researcher Andrew Mayes, from UEA’s

School of Chemistry.

“RESULTS STACK UP.”

Jacqueline Savitz, chief policy officer for North America at Oceana, a marine advocacy

group that was not involved in the research, said the study provides more evidence that

society must abandon the ubiquitous use of plastic water bottles.

“We know plastics are building-up in marine animals, and this means we too are being

exposed, some of us, every day,” she said. “It’s more urgent now than ever before to make

plastic water bottles a thing of the past,” she added.

Pancreatic Cancer

How an existing diabetes drug controls pancreatic cancer (Medical News

Today:20180316)

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321223.php

New research suggests that targeting a particular cell signaling pathway with the diabetes

drug metformin might offer a way to stop the progression and spread of pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer kills more than 44,000 people in the U.S. every year.

The study — which was led by Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey in New Brunswick —

is to feature at the 2018 annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research,

which will be held in Chicago, IL.

This study is not the first to suggest metformin as a potential treatment for pancreatic cancer,

but it is the first to show that the underlying mechanism involves the drug's effect on the

REarranged during Transfection (RET) cell signaling pathway.

"Our data," says senior investigator XiangLin Tan, who is an assistant professor of

epidemiology in the School of Public Health at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey,

"indicate that targeting RET with metformin may be an attractive and novel strategy for the

prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer progression and metastasis."

Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells of the pancreas, which is an organ behind

the stomach that helps with digestion and blood sugar control.

The estimates for the United States suggest that around 55,440 people will find out that they

have pancreatic cancer in 2018, and approximately 44,330 people will die of the disease.

Though it is only responsible for 3 percent of all cancers in the U.S., pancreatic cancer

accounts for around 7 percent of deaths from cancer.

Because pancreatic cancer is hard to detect in the early stages, most cases are not diagnosed

until the disease has started to spread. This makes it harder to treat and often leaves people

with much poorer prospects compared with other types of cancer.

Metformin and cancer

Metformin is a drug that is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The plant it comes

from, the French lilac Galega officinalis, has been used to ease the symptoms of diabetes

since the Middle Ages.

However, thanks to the evidence from extensive laboratory experiments and numerous

studies that have followed large groups of people, there is now a lot of interest in the

possibility that metformin might also be effective against cancer.

Pancreatic cancer: Modified flu virus destroys tumors

Learn how scientists modified a flu virus so that it kills pancreatic cancer cells without

harming healthy ones.

This interest has led to clinical trials that are testing metformin not only as a cancer treatment,

but also as way to prevent cancer in people at higher risk, such as those who have already had

one cancer and have a higher risk of developing another type.

Laboratory investigations have revealed several ways in which metformin interacts with cells

and tissue that might explain its anti-cancer effects.

These studies revealed, for example, that the drug can target and kill cancer stem cells,

control inflammation responses, and block a cell signaling pathway — called mammalian

target of rapamycin — that plays an important role in tumor growth and progression.

None of these, however, have identified the specific mechanism by which metformin might

act against pancreatic cancer.

Metformin and the RET signaling pathway

RET is a cell membrane receptor that sends and receives signals from the cell's environment.

It is also an enzyme that becomes active when it binds to a particular molecule. Together,

these roles make RET a key player in the control of cell proliferation, survival, and death.

Prof. Tan and colleagues decided to investigate RET because the receptor and the molecule

that it attaches to are strongly expressed in pancreatic cancer and are also linked to the spread

of the cancer and worse survival after surgery.

In their experiments, they found that metformin reduced RET signaling in some pancreatic

cancer cell lines.

The team also found that silencing RET by other means, as well as treatment with metformin,

significantly reduced cell migration.

Therefore, the researchers conclude that blocking RET signaling is at least one of the

mechanisms through which metformin stops the growth and spread of pancreatic cancer cells.

"Completion of this study will form the basis for developing a novel clinical intervention

strategy for inhibiting the growth and spread of pancreatic cancer using metformin and/or

other selective RET inhibitors."

Prof. XiangLin Tan

The scientists call for further studies to identify the precise manner in which metformin alters

RET signaling in pancreatic cancer.

Alzheimer's disease

High fitness may slash dementia risk, study says (Medical News Today:20180316)


Being physically fit is known to bring a range of health benefits — from staving off

metabolic diseases to offering protection against heart disease. A new study may now have

uncovered an additional advantage for women: a highly decreased risk of dementia.

Could physical fitness in middle age influence the risk of dementia?

Dementia, an umbrella term for a range of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by

progressive memory loss and other cognitive impairments, affects approximately 50 million

people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

This condition is most common among older adults, and a recent report suggests that more

women live with Alzheimer's disease — a form of dementia — globally than men.

Many risk factors are related to lifestyle, which means that by changing certain habits and

leading a more healthful life, a person's risk of dementia can be decreased.

A new study from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden has now found that women who

are very physically fit in middle age have an almost 90 percent decreased risk of being

diagnosed with dementia later in life, unlike their moderately fit peers, who are more exposed

to this condition.

The results of this study — which was led by Helena Hörder — were published yesterday in

the journal Neurology.

Fitness cuts risk by 88 percent

For the purpose of the study, the researchers worked with 191 women, aged 50, on average.

The participants' cardiovascular fitness — or their ability to sustain physical effort over a

prolonged period — was assessed through a bicycle exercise test.

Hörder and team asked the women to participate in the exercise until they felt physically

exhausted; this allowed the researchers to establish what each participant's peak

cardiovascular capacity was.

How daytime sleepiness may raise Alzheimer's risk

Learn how excessive daytime sleepiness could indicate the risk of Alzheimer's among older

adults.

In specialty literature, this peak capacity is defined as "the maximum ability of the

cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen to exercising skeletal muscle and of the exercising

muscle to extract oxygen from the blood."

The researchers behind this new study measured average peak workload at 103 watts.

Following these assessments, 40 women qualified as highly physically fit (120 watts or

higher peak workload), 92 women exhibited medium fitness, and 59 women had low fitness

levels (80 watts or lower peak workload).

Some of the women in the latter category had to interrupt exercise participation due to

hypertension, chest pain, or other cardiovascular symptoms.

The participants were then followed-up over a period of 44 years, during which time they

were assessed for dementia six times. During that time, 44 of the participants developed the

condition.

Of the women who has scored as highly fit, only 5 percent were diagnosed with dementia in

that 44-year interval. In contrast, 25 percent of the moderately fit participants and 32 percent

of the women with low physical fitness levels developed the disease.

In other words, the women who were highly fit in middle age had an 88 percent lower risk of

dementia than their moderately fit counterparts.

Also, the highly fit women who ended up receiving a dementia diagnosis did so at a much

later stage in their lives — 11 years later, on average, than moderately fit women.

'Exciting findings' may speak to prevention

Another notable finding is that among the women who had been forced to cease exercise

participation due to cardiovascular problems, 45 percent went on to develop dementia.

"This indicates," says Hörder, "that negative cardiovascular processes may be happening in

midlife that could increase the risk of dementia much later in life."

"These findings are exciting because it's possible that improving people's cardiovascular

fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia."

Helena Hörder

At the same time, however, Hörder warns that "this study does not show cause and effect

between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association."

She continues, saying, "More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a

positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high

fitness level is most important."

The study also had a number of limitations, such as the limited population sample, the

specificity of the cohort — all of the women were Swedish, meaning that the results may not

hold true for other populations — and the fact that the women's levels of fitness were only

assessed at one point in the beginning of the study.

This, Hörder explains, may mean that possible changes in fitness levels following that initial

test were not accounted for.

Smoking

E-cigarettes 'may do more harm than good,' study suggests (Medical News

Today:20180316)


Recently at Medical News Today, we have looked at a number of studies that assessed the

potential harms and benefits of e-cigarettes. Now, we report on a new study published in

PLOS ONE that suggests that use of these devices might be more harmful than beneficial.

E-cigarettes could cause more harm than benefit, say researchers.

Electronic cigarettes, also called e-cigarettes, are battery-powered devices that heat a liquid

solution, which may or may not include nicotine, into a vapor that is inhaled — or "vaped" —

by the user.

The devices have become a popular alternative to conventional cigarettes in recent years, due

in part to the belief that they present fewer health risks than regular ones.

The use of e-cigarettes is growing rapidly in the United States. However, this surge in

popularity is controversial — not only due to the questions posed by researchers over whether

or not vaping is harmful, but also because of concerns that teenagers may be using e-

cigarettes as a gateway into regular smoking.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have banned the sale of e-cigarettes to individuals

under the age of 18. But more scientific evidence is needed to inform the public debate about

the effects of e-cigarettes at population level.

A recent study reported by MNT found that teenagers who had used e-cigarettes had three

times the amount of toxic compounds in their bodies than teenagers who had never vaped.

And, another recent scientific paper that we covered suggests that the heating coils in e-

cigarettes may contribute to these high levels of toxic compounds.

The authors of that paper found that small concentrations of toxic metals were present in the

liquid solutions in e-cigarette refilling dispensers, but that these levels were much higher in

solutions that had already been heated within e-cigarettes.

The authors explain that this finding indicates that it is the heating coils — rather than the

solutions themselves — that are the main source of toxic metals.

'More population-level harms than benefits'

The new study analyzed data that were taken from census counts, previously published

scientific literature, and surveys of national health and tobacco use.

The study authors weighed up the relative harms of using e-cigarettes and compared them

with those of smoking regular cigarettes.

E-cigarettes may cause cancer and heart disease, says study

Researchers suggest that e-cigarettes can cause DNA damage, thereby raising the risk of heart

disease and cancer.

The scientists conclude that use of e-cigarettes is currently linked with more population-level

harms than benefits.

What is more, the authors note that e-cigarettes could slow or reverse the substantial

reduction in smoking among young people that tobacco control efforts have driven since the

1990s.

Lead author Samir Soneji — an associate professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health

Policy and Clinical Practice at Dartmouth College in Lebanon, NH — says that although the

tobacco industry markets e-cigarettes as smoking cessation tools, relatively few e-cigarette

users are able to quit smoking successfully. Rather, e-cigarette use may actually lead to

people taking up smoking.

"E-cigarettes could lead to more than 1.5 million years of life lost because their use could

substantially increase the number of adolescents and young adults who eventually become

cigarette smokers."

Samir Soneji

The authors recommend that efforts should be made at national, state, and local levels to

reduce e-cigarette use among young people. This could include taking steps to make e-

cigarettes less appealing to teenagers, such as making "kid-friendly fruit flavors" less

available.

"E-cigarettes will likely cause more public health harm than public health benefit," concludes

Soneji, "unless ways can be found to substantially decrease the number of adolescents and

young adults who vape and increase the number of smokers who use e-cigarettes to

successfully quit smoking."

Genetic

Astronaut's gene expression no longer same as his identical twin, NASA finds (The

Times of India:20180316)

Space travel altered Kelly's chromosomes

Story highlights

93% of Scott Kelly's genetic expression returned to normal once he returned to Earth

However, a subset of several hundred "space genes" remained disrupted

(CNN)Spending a year in space not only changes your outlook, it transforms your gene

expression.

Preliminary results from NASA's Twins Study reveal that 7% of astronaut Scott Kelly's

genetic expression -- how his genes function within cells -- did not return to baseline after his

return to Earth two years ago.

The study looks at what happened to Kelly before, during and after he spent one year aboard

the International Space Station through an extensive comparison with his identical twin,

Mark, who remained on Earth.

Twins study: How one-year mission affected astronaut's health

Twins study: How one-year mission affected astronaut's health

Though Scott Kelly's genetic expression changed, he and Mark are still identical. Changes in

gene expression are how the human body reacts to the environment. Kelly's transformation

suggests longer-term alterations related to at least five biological pathways and functions.

'Space genes'

The newest preliminary results from this unique study of Kelly, now retired from NASA,

were released at the 2018 Investigator's Workshop for NASA's Human Research Program in

January. Last year, NASA published its first round of preliminary results at the 2017

Investigator's Workshop. Overall, the 2018 findings corroborated those from 2017, with some

additions.

International Space Station Fast Facts

To track physical changes caused by time in space, scientists measured Kelly's metabolites

(necessary for maintaining life), cytokines (secreted by immune system cells) and proteins

(workhorses within each cell) before, during and after his mission. The researchers learned

that spaceflight is associated with oxygen-deprivation stress, increased inflammation and

dramatic nutrient shifts that affect gene expression.

In particular, Chris Mason of Weill Cornell Medicine reported on the activation of Kelly's

"space genes" while confirming the results of his separate NASA study, published last year.

To better understand the genetic dynamics of each twin, Mason and his team focused on

chemical changes in RNA and DNA.

Although 93% of Kelly's genetic expression returned to normal once he returned to Earth, a

subset of several hundred "space genes" remained disrupted. Some of these alterations, found

only after spaceflight, are thought to be caused by the stresses of space travel.

This change of gene expression is very minimal, according to NASA.

Yet as genes turn on and off, change in the function of cells may occur.

Looking to Mars

Mason's work shows that one of the most important changes to Kelly's cells was hypoxia, or a

deficient amount of tissue oxygenation, probably due to a lack of oxygen and high levels of

carbon dioxide. Possible damage to mitochondria, the "power plants of cells," also occurred

in Kelly's cells, as indicated by mitochondrial stress and increased levels of mitochondria in

the blood.

Our bodies in space: Zero gravity weighs heavy on your health

Mason's team also saw changes in the length of Kelly's telomeres, caps at the end of

chromosomes that are considered a marker of biological aging. First, there was a significant

increase in average length while he was in space, and then there was a decrease in length

within about 48 hours of his landing on Earth that stabilized to nearly preflight levels.

Scientists believe that these telomere changes, along with the DNA damage and DNA repair

measured in Kelly's cells, were caused by both radiation and calorie restrictions.

Additionally, the team found changes in Kelly's collagen, blood clotting and bone formation

due, most likely, to fluid shifts and zero gravity. The researchers discovered hyperactive

immune activity as well, thought to be the result of his radically different environment: space.

See the latest news and share your comments with CNN Health on Facebook and Twitter.

The Twins Study helps NASA gain insight into what happens to the human body in space

beyond the usual six-month International Space Station missions previously studied in other

astronauts. Ten groups of researchers, including Mason's team, are looking at a wide variety

of information about the Kelly twins' health, including how gut bacteria, bones and the

immune system might be affected by living off planet.

Kelly's one-year mission is a scientific stepping stone to a planned three-year mission to

Mars, NASA said. Research into how the human body adjusts to weightlessness, isolation,

radiation and the stress of long-duration spaceflight is needed before astronauts are sent on

journeys that would triple the time humans have spent in space so far.
