    SODA’S NEW THREAT

    Sure, soda can rot your teeth and make you fat, but that’s not all. Sugary drinks may increase your risk of heart disease, especially if you’re a heavy guy, say scientists from the University of California at Davis. In the study, overweight people who drank a fructose-sweetened beverage with a meal saw their triglyceride levels spike three times as high over 24 hours than people who drank a glucose-sweetened beverage. Triglycerides are fats in your blood, and high levels are thought to boost heart-disease risk. Your liver converts fructose to triglycerides, causing the spike, says study author Karen Teff, Ph.D. Most fruit juices also contains fructose, so dilute apple juice with equal parts water.

    THE ROLLING STONES ANNOUNCE FREE CONCERT IN CUBA!

    The Rolling Stones will perform a groundbreaking concert in Havana, Cuba on Friday March 25, 2016. The free concert will take place at the Ciudad Deportiva de la Habana and will be the first open air concert in the country by a British Rock Band. Always exploring new horizons and true pioneers of rock, the Stones, who have toured every corner of the globe, will bring their high-octane performance and incredible music catalogue to the Caribbean for the first time ever.
    This once-in-a-lifetime concert event follows the band’s America Latina Ole tour, which is currently receiving rave reviews, playing to huge audiences in stadiums in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Porto Alegre with Lima, Bogotá and Mexico City following next week. The band are also leading a musician to musician initiative in which much needed musical instruments and equipment are being donated by major suppliers for the benefit of Cuban musicians of all genres. Donors include The Gibson Foundation, Vic Firth, RS Berkeley, Pearl, Zildjian, Gretsch, Latin Percussion, Roland and BOSS with additional assistance from the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation.
    This historical concert will no doubt have Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood mesmerizing a new audience of fans with a set packed full of classic Stones hits as well as special gems from their million selling albums.
    The Rolling Stones concert, which has been in the planning stages for several months, comes only days after President Barack Obama’s recently announced visit to Cuba.

    Steinz still “has hope” that he will find some of the people
    responsible for the Jewish genocide during WWII still living.

    The Third Reich fell apart 71 years ago, leading Nazis, low to top ranking, to escape to Latin America in mass. That stampede has been compared to the escape of rodents from a sinking ship -the “rat routes”.
    Delegate Uwe Steinz, 58, still “has hope” that he will find some of the people responsible for the Jewish genocide during World War II still living.
    After fighting organized crime and prostitution in his country, the German lives off “hunting Nazis”-and believes there is a fistful of them in Brazil.
    Since 2009, as an employee of the Central Office of the State Justice Administrations for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes, he has already made 14 trips to the National Archive in Rio. Among five million immigrant registration records, Steinz is searching for the registrations for Germans born between 1916 and 1931.
    The information of those who fit the profile is sent to the headquarters in Germany, which verifies if the person served the Third Reich. He didn’t come to hunt the “big fish” of the SS, the elite squad of Nazis -older, they are probably no longer with us. His target is the “lower clergy”, such as camp guards and accountants.
    The most famous one of them, Joseph Mengele, the “Angel of Death”, was a doctor in Auschwitz responsible for prisoner triage (forced labor or gas chamber). He died at age 67, in 1979, when he drowned in Bertioga (on the coast of São Paulo), possibly a victim of cardiac arrest. He was never tried.
    There are more accounts of older Nazis in Brazil, like Herbert Cukurs (who rented paddleboats in Niterói) and Franz Stangl, employed at a Volkswagen factory in ABC Paulista.
    Arrested in 1967, Stangl was extradited and was targeted for the death of 900 thousand people. “My conscience is at peace”, he said at the time.

    The placebo effect: amazing and real

    November 2, 2015
    Robert H. Shmerling

    Imagem da questão de Inglês, Faculdade de Medicina de São José do Rio Preto 2016, Interpretação de texto | Reading comprehension

        The placebo effect is a mysterious thing. I’ve long been fascinated by the idea that something as inert and harmless as a sugar pill could relieve a person’s pain or hasten their recovery just by the expectation that it would. Studies use placebos – an inactive treatment, such as a sugar pill – in an attempt to understand the true impact of the active drug. Comparing what happens to a group of patients taking the active drug with the results of those taking a placebo can help researchers understand just how good the active drug is.
        The word “placebo” comes from Latin and means “I shall please.” And “please” it does. In study after study, many patients who take a placebo show improvement in their symptoms or condition.

    The placebo effect is for real

        Recent research on the placebo effect only confirms how powerful it can be – and that the benefits of a placebo treatment aren’t just “all in your head.” Measureable physiological changes can be observed in those taking a placebo, similar to those observed among people taking effective medications. In particular, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood test results have been shown to improve among subsets of research subjects who responded to a placebo.
        Of course, not everyone has a therapeutic response to a placebo. If that were the case, we wouldn’t need medications at all. Instead, we could simply wield the power of suggestion. Understanding why certain people improve with placebo treatment and others do not is the “holy grail” of placebo research.

    Nocebo: Placebo’s evil twin

         The power of suggestion is a double-edged sword. If you expect a treatment to help you, it’s more likely to do so. And if you expect a treatment will be harmful, you are more likely to experience negative effects. That phenomenon is called the “nocebo effect” (from the Latin “I shall harm”). For example, if you tell a person that a headache is a common side effect of a particular medication, that person is more likely to report headaches even if they are actually taking a placebo. The power of expectation is formidable and probably plays a significant role in the benefits and the side effects of commonly prescribed medications.

    Global sleeping patterns revealed by app data.
    It showed the Dutch have nearly an hour more in bed every night than people in Singapore or Japan.
    The study, published in Science Advances, also found women routinely get more sleep than men, with middle-aged men getting the least of all.
    The researchers say the findings could be used to deal with the "global sleep crisis".
    The study found people in Japan and Singapore had an average of seven hours and 24 minutes sleep while the people in the Netherlands had eight hours and 12 minutes.
    People in the UK averaged just under eight hours - a smidgen less than the French.
    The later a country stays up into the night, the less sleep it gets. But what time a country wakes up seems to have little effect on sleep duration.
    Prof Daniel Forger, one of the researchers, said there was a conflict between our desire to stay up late and our bodies urging us to get up in the morning.
    The study also showed women had about 30 minutes more per night in bed than men, particularly between the ages of 30 and 60.
    And that people who spend the most time in natural sunlight tended to go to bed earlier. A strong effect of age on sleep was also detected. A wide range of sleep and wake-up times was found in young people but "that really narrows in old age," said Prof Forger.
    "It highlights that although our body clocks are programming us to do certain things, we can't as we're ruled by social circumstances.
    "We won't know the long-term consequences of this for many years."

    Read the text below and answer the following question based on it.

    Women taking pill more likely to be treated for depression, study finds
    Millions of women worldwide use hormonal contraceptives, and there have long been reports that they can affect mood. A research project was launched in Denmark to look at the scale of the problem, involving the medical records of more than a million women and adolescent girls.

    It found that those on the combined pill were 23% more likely to be prescribed an antidepressant by their doctor, most commonly in the first six months after starting on the pill. Women on the progestin-only pills, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone, were 34% more likely to take antidepressants or get a first diagnosis of depression than those not on hormonal contraception.

    The study found that not only women taking pills but also those with implants, patches and intrauterine devices were affected.

    Adolescent girls appeared to be at highest risk. Those taking combined pills were 80% more likely and those on progestin-only pills more than twice as likely to be prescribed an antidepressant than their peers who were not on the pill.

    The researchers, Øjvind Lidegaard of the University of Copenhagen and colleagues, point out that women are twice as likely to suffer from depression in their lifetime as men, though rates are equal before puberty. The fluctuating levels of the two female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone, have been implicated. Studies have suggested raised progesterone levels in particular may lower mood.

    The impact of low-dose hormonal contraception on mood and possibly depression has not been fully studied, the authors say. They used registry data in Denmark on more than a million women and adolescent girls aged between 15 and 34. They were followed up from 2000 until 2013 with an average follow-up of 6.4 years.

    The authors call for more studies to investigate this possible side-effect of the pill.
