The latest treatment method prevents brain diseases due to weakness of the lymphatic system

Image
  Like the human body's lymphatic system, the human brain's glymphatic system removes accumulated metabolic wastes and distributes nutrients and other compounds within the brain. The glymphatic system filters the accumulated toxins in the brain and removes them from the brain, and this system, which is active during sleep, remains inactive during the waking period. Disorders in the functioning of the glymphatic system are the primary causes of neurological diseases and stroke. In the United States of America, belonging to the state of Missouri, St. A group of researchers from the Washington University McKelvey School of Engineering located in St. Louis recently managed to find a non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment that uses a method called focused ultrasound that can increase the function and circulation of the glymphatic system. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), published on May 15, posted the information about this treatment method discove

The latest medical studies reveal the underlying cause of heart failure in young children

A group of researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine were recently able to uncover the main cause of a rare type of heart failure in infants. These latest studies have identified a unique genetic mutation that causes heart failure in young children, where medical researchers have observed the function and behaviour of the genetic mutation. They have also discovered that it is possible to reverse the effect of this genetic mutation on heart muscle cells by using stem cells obtained from the patient. The scientific journal 'Circulation' has published the facts revealed by these studies for the first time. These studies have allowed the opportunity to improve a method that can cure this condition in young children by treatment without a heart transplant. However, although many studies had conducted on heart failure in older people, there are very few studies on heart failure in children, so more attention could be paid to it in the future, said Dr. Charles "
