Nearly 90% of U.S. adults are at risk for or have Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a newly defined American Heart Association condition linking heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and kidney dysfunction. This often-silent, "chain reaction" condition significantly increases risks for heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. It is largely reversible through lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, weight loss) and, if necessary, medication.

Shocking findings of a study on a substance administered to treat diseases like malaria show that it turns organs blue. Researchers at University Hospital Frankfurt in Germany were conducting an autopsy on a 72-year-old man when they saw that his brain was blue. They reviewed the medical records at the hospital from 2000 to 2023, looking for 'blue-green,' 'greenish,' or 'turquoise' organs spotted during autopsies. They came across 11 such cases where either methylene blue or toluidine blue had been administered before their deaths. The autopsies showed that the substances had lent the brains, hearts, lungs and pancreas a bluish tinge. Notably, methylene blue is touted by the US health secretary as a "miracle cure-all" and is also used to treat health issues like depression and urinary tract infections.&nbsp;&nbsp;The German researchers found that the tiniest amount was enough to cause this change in colour. The team said that as little as 25 milligrams of the substance altered the brain pigment. They had been administered &nbsp;50 to 200 milligrams intravenously. Further, multiple doses were given to some of them within 10 hours of death. In all cases, the colour of the brain and heart had changed.

Mysterious blue brain stuns researchers. Investigation reveals the culprit has an RFK Jr connection

Doctors in India have reported about the case of a man whose eye was afflicted with a parasitic roundworm, and how the juices from his eye had to be sucked out to remove the worm. The case study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine last week. This particular roundworm usually affects dogs and cats. However, the 35-year-old man became an accidental victim of the roundworm that lives in carnivorous mammal hosts like cats. He had been suffering from blurry vision and a red eye for eight months. When he visited a local ophthalmology clinic, the doctors noticed extensive inflammation in the eye. Closer inspection revealed the culprit - a squiggly worm "moving sluggishly" in the back of the eye. Removing the roundworm proved to be a major task. To gain access to the worm, a pars plana vitrectomy had to be performed. The procedure requires the eye’s internal jelly-like vitreous humor to be sucked out.

A Thai woman thought she was battling weight issues because of her unhealthy eating habits. However, it turned out to be a 8 kg tumour. Ratchanaporn was told that she had a massive ovarian cyst that had been growing for years. She and her family assumed that she was simply overweight because of her bad eating habits, totally oblivious that it was a much bigger problem. The woman finally landed at a hospital due to a sudden health scare, and that's when it was revealed that she had been carrying a large cyst for years. She was operated upon, and the surgery was a success. The tumour was so huge that after it was removed, her weight drastically reduced by 11 kgs. One day, Ratchanaporn started having trouble breathing and was taken to the Satun Hospital in southern Thailand. Doctors ran tests and discovered that a giant 30cm-wide cyst was pressing on her internal organs. The sheer size of the tumour meant an operation would be complicated. It took the doctors six hours to remove the massive tumour.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/man-dies-after-consuming-nothing-but-beer-for-a-month-following-divorce-1753425374104">Thai man dies after consuming only beer without a morsel of food for a month</a><h2>Thai woman looked like she was ‘pregnant with twins’</h2>The operation on July 31 was a success, and the cyst was removed without causing any complications.

It was putting pressure on her other organs, and she was at risk of heart failure. Dr. Erik Hanson Viana at Mexico's General Hospital performed the surgery and removed the cyst whole. It is believed to be the largest tumour ever removed. The doctor later said that the cyst measured half a metre in diameter and the circumference was 157 cm.

A Chinese wellness practitioner with no license to practice medicine is injecting bleach into people's tumours. He claims 20 success stories for his treatment that costs $20,000. According to Wired, Chinese "inventor" Xuewu Liu prepares a mix featuring chlorine dioxide, a highly toxic bleach compound, and injects it directly into tumours, claiming it shrinks them. The treatment, which is only available at clinics in China and Germany, is touted by Liu as successful, but a woman has told the publication that it made her illness worse. The woman, who is originally from China but lives in the United Kingdom, reached out to Liu through WhatsApp and got the bleach mix. She administered the supposed treatment herself and says it led to immediate side effects. "It was fine after the injection, but I was woken up by severe pain [like] I had never experienced in my life," the woman said, adding that the pain lasted for three to four days.

A woman who smelled her husband's Parkinson's 12 years before it was diagnosed has helped create a new test to detect the condition. Scientists at the University of Manchester joined hands with her after discovering that a person's sebum can be a crucial biomarker to help identify Parkinson's even before the symptoms appear. The test can detect the disease as early as seven years before it starts showing up. The woman named Joy Milne is also now known as "Super Smeller". Using the mass spectrometry technique, researchers discovered that sebum, the oil that is secreted and covers our face, carries distinctive Parkinson’s markers. This provided a breakthrough moment and helped them develop a non-invasive swab test. Being able to predict Parkinson's years in advance can help manage the condition better, even before the symptoms arrive.

Scientists reveal the problem with their brain</a><h2>Warning sign for Parkinson's</h2>Researchers from the University of Manchester collaborated with Salford Royal NHS Trust and the University of Innsbruck for the test. They took skin swabs from three groups of people - those with Parkinson’s, healthy volunteers, and people with a sleep disorder called isolated REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder (iRBD), which is considered a warning sign for Parkinson's. They analysed these samples and found distinct chemical profiles present in their sebum of people with iRBD that were different from healthy individuals. However, they were comparatively milder than those who had already had Parkinson's. This proved that Parkinson’s disease starts leaving a trace on the body that can be detected even before physical symptoms appear, the researchers said.

Joy Milne knew something was wrong when she noticed a change in the way her husband smelled. Twelve years later, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's. She has now helped develop a new Parkinson's test because of her “Super Smeller” tag.

A woman who smelled her husband's Parkinson's 12 years before it was diagnosed has helped create a new test to detect the condition. Scientists at the University of Manchester joined hands with her after discovering that a person's sebum can be a crucial biomarker to help identify Parkinson's even before the symptoms appear. The test can detect the disease as early as seven years before it starts showing up. The woman named Joy Milne is also now known as "Super Smeller". Using the mass spectrometry technique, researchers discovered that sebum, the oil that is secreted and covers our face, carries distinctive Parkinson’s markers. This provided a breakthrough moment and helped them develop a non-invasive swab test. Being able to predict Parkinson's years in advance can help manage the condition better, even before the symptoms arrive. Also Read: What makes a person PSYCHOPATH? Scientists reveal the problem with their brain Warning sign for Parkinson's Researchers from the University of Manchester collaborated with Salford Royal NHS Trust and the University of Innsbruck for the test. They took skin swabs from three groups of people - those with Parkinson’s, healthy volunteers, and people with a sleep disorder called isolated REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder (iRBD), which is considered a warning sign for Parkinson's. They analysed these samples and found distinct chemical profiles present in their sebum of people with iRBD that were different from healthy individuals. However, they were comparatively milder than those who had already had Parkinson's. This proved that Parkinson’s disease starts leaving a trace on the body that can be detected even before physical symptoms appear, the researchers said.

Nightmares are often ignored as just a bad dream. Just like one has happy dreams, the creepy and scary ones are also seen as part of the game. However, a study has now found that nightmares might not just be a one-night thing, but can affect the person having them in the long run. Researchers from the European Academy of Neurology last month said in Helsinki that people who have frequent bad dreams age faster biologically. They said that their bodies underwent more wear and tear and suffered from "significantly accelerated biological ageing" when compared to another person of the same age who did not have nightmares as frequently. Dr Abidemi Otaiku, PhD, a clinical research fellow in the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London, revealed the results that are a part of a health study in the US. A total of &nbsp;2,429 children aged eight to 10 and 183,012 adults aged 26 to 86 participated in the study on nightmares.&nbsp;<h2>Nightmares age you faster</h2>Otaiku noted that adults who had nightmares three or more times a week had a higher chance of dying before the age of 70. Shockingly, the frequency of nightmares emerged to be a stronger predictor of premature death than smoking, obesity, and poor nutrition. Otaiku admitted that "people with nightmares do have a higher number of chronic conditions," but even when these factors were removed, " the link between nightmares and premature death remained significant." Otaiku has been diving into the study of nightmares and their potential impact on our health for a long time. One of his earlier studies found a link between older adults having nightmares and developing Parkinson’s and dementia. Those who reported having nightmares once a week were twice as likely to develop Parkinson’s, and four times as likely to develop dementia in the next decade. In children aged between 7 and 11, frequent nightmares indicated cognitive decline by the age of 50.<h2>Stress hormone and poor sleep quality</h2>Other studies also found similar effects of nightmares on human health, which led Otaiku to carry out an in-depth study into the extent of the link. He wanted to understand whether faster ageing because of nightmares was causing health problems. He found that this was certainly the case, as displayed by the telomeres or the DNA sequences. This is because nightmares seem real to our brains. “Our sleeping brains cannot distinguish dreams from reality. That’s why nightmares often wake us up … because our fight-or-flight response has been triggered. This stress reaction can be even more intense than anything we experience while awake," Otaiku said in a press release. When we have nightmares, our body releases the stress hormone cortisol. Besides this, overnight cellular restoration is also affected because of poor sleep quality.&nbsp;

Frequent nightmares not only disturb your sleep but also affect your health. Bad dreams can impact you in the real world because the brain thinks that everything happening in the nightmare is real. This ages you faster and can lead to several diseases.
