Human DNA, Store the Genetic Code during Thousands of Years Ago from Alien

Human DNA, Store the Genetic Code during Thousands of Years Ago from Alien
Alien
The emergence of the phenomenon of UFOs, aliens and other extraterrestrials always interesting to bring to the big screen. Some people are indeed still doubting its existence, but a study found that the genetic code from these creatures embedded in human DNA.

Scientists are 2 people in Kazakhstan who trigger the theory of the existence of genetic code from alien it, ie physicist named Vladimir I. shCherbak al-Farabi Kazakh National University of Kazakhstan and astrobiologist Maxim A. Makukov of the Astrophysical Institute Fesenkvo.

In a report posted on Discovery.com, the second these research explain that the alien civilization which more advanced thousands of years of sowing 'seeds' in our galaxy. Using a particular signal, this aliens find the road to Earth and then embed the genetic code on the human.

The research by ShCherbak and Makukov this, funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Her report which entitled 'The' Wow! signal 'of the terrestrial genetic code' published in the journal Icarus. The second this researcher are calling it with the concept of 'biological SETI'.

SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) itself is the use of radio telescopes and signal processing technology to search for alien life in outer space. The second this researcher are basing her research on a radio signal detected by SETI scientists in 1977.

"Genomic DNA already is used on Earth to save the non-biological information. Though its capacity is smaller, but it is more immune to noise of genetic code. This code may be remain unchanged during the cosmological timescales. In reality, it is constructs the most durable that is known . therefore, this is a storage place the signal by intelligent creatures that is very reliable, "wrote the second this researcher in her report.

Makukov and shCherbak argues that life in throughout the galaxy does not evolve from process which is random, however there are intervention from extraterrestrials.

To prove this theory, the scientists must find a pattern in the DNA that are not formed naturally. Both researchers call it with Terrestrial Code. this code should display the a thorough criteria and suitable with a series of symbolic language patterns.

Regardless of the truth of this theory, Shcherbak and Makukov actually not the first time suggested the idea of ​​this. Theories about the possibility of the presence of intervention from alien has been there since the 1970's. Even there are several attempts to find a kind of code or messages in human DNA.

Study: The Miraculous Benefits of Coffee to Protect Liver

Study: The Miraculous Benefits of Coffee to Protect Liver
Coffee
When feeling sleepy incredible, a lot of people who then ran into the coffee. Besides can repel drowsiness, coffee also has other special functions that can protect liver damage, especially in those who frequently consume alcoholic drinks.

The conclusion it was obtained from a new study which not yet long done. In the research, researchers asked about coffee consumption towards nearly 19,000 Finnish men and women who aged 25 to 74 years who consumed alcohol.

"Our findings suggest the possibility of a protective effect of coffee intake on consumers of alcoholic drinks," said one researcher, Dr. Onni Niemela, of Seinajoki Central Hospital and University of Tampere in Finland.

In the research, Dr. Onni measuring blood of participant-specific on levels liver enzyme gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). Because drinking alcoholic drinks can increase GGT levels in the blood. Even liquor can cause liver disease on the alcoholic.

One of the men who undergo this test admitted consuming more than 24 alcoholic drinks per week, or approximately 3.5 drinks in a day. The test results showed that he has the highest levels of the liver enzyme, which is about three times higher than men who did not drink alcohol.

Among them are alcoholics, it turns out there are a coffee connoisseur. They consume as much as five cups of coffee or more every his day. It turns out from the tests showed a 50 percent reduction in GGT compared with men who did not drink coffee.

Although there are no differences in the variables between heavy drinkers, moderate drinkers, and former drinkers and non-drinkers in this research, the researchers are still can not determine with certainty whether the interaction between alcohol and one of these factors influence the outcome.

The researchers found that the way of presenting of coffee that is ready to drink, filtered, boiled or in the form of espresso does not make a difference in these findings. Previous research says there is a possibility that caffeine plays a role in this.

To be known, the researchers found no significant association between coffee consumption and levels of GGT in women drinkers. And also, in addition to alcoholic drinks it can also be triggered by smoking, an older age and overweight.

With the existence this research does not mean you are free to consume alcohol because it can be 'saved' by coffee. Drinking coffee also should not be excessive because not good for health, especially for your blood pressure.

Study: Energy drinks can trigger heart rhythm disturbances

Study: Energy drinks can trigger heart rhythm disturbances
Energy drinks
Lately increasingly many circulating various types of energy drinks with variants of taste or packaging that claimed can restore energy after a day of activities or maintain endurance. But this is contrary to the new findings of the U.S. that revealed that energy drinks can provide a negative impact to heart rhythm or blood pressure.

The conclusion it obtained after investigators to review seven studies that observe the various of heart conditions after consumption of energy drinks. From there, researchers found that high consumption of caffeinated beverages and contain other stimulants such as taurine it can increase blood pressure and increase a person's risk for experiencing heart rhythm disorders.

Even researchers emphasize the evidence behind the 'ability' energy drinks to increase this blood pressure 'so convincing at once alarming. Because they found that energy drinks can increase systolic blood pressure (blood pressure at the time of occur contraction of the heart muscle) those who drink up to as much as 3.5 points.

Not only is it, consuming one to three cans of energy drinks also prolong the heart's electrical cycle phase is called the 'QT interval' of up to 10 milliseconds. Whereas a long QT interval, has long been known as one of the sign of a person at high risk experiencing heartbeats disorders that can be fatal. This condition is commonly called Long QT Syndrome.

"The doctors usually directly worried, if the patient is known QT interval increases up to 30 milliseconds. Which is why we say if the correlation between energy drinks and increased this systolic blood pressure, was so worrying, though still much further study is needed to ascertain the impact of this case on rhythm heartbeat. For it patients with hypertension or high blood pressure, and long QT syndrome should be careful before consuming an energy drink, "said one researcher, Professor Sachin Shah from the University of the Pacific, California.

"Never mind the patients second it, people who suffer from any health problems or older people have the same risk to be exposed side effects associated with heart health from energy drinks," he continued.

Nevertheless Shah admitted if on these findings still need further study because the data used in this study is inadequate.

What else previous study revealed high rates of patients who entered the ER, due to the consumption of energy drinks is largely based on the fact that many young people who combine energy drinks with alcohol so that potential of side effects become manyfold. The side effects of energy drinks on the health of the heart itself is still not much studied.

Researchers discover secrets of long life from coffee greece

Researchers discover secrets of long life from coffee greece

Who does not want a long and healthy life? Unfortunately, not many know the secret telling to get it. With the same motivation, a group of researchers also trying to look at life of the population of the people who aged the longest in the world which living in the Greek namely the community of Ikaria Island to get the secret of their longevity.

Such as ever written before, the population this island noted to have aged the longest in the world. On average, every person who lives on the island it his age reach 100 years. From it the researchers also concluded that the secret of community island ikaria is a Greek coffee.

The conclusion was obtained after a team of researchers led by Gerasimos Siasos, doctor and professor of medicine from the University of Athens Medical School, Greece recruited 71 men and 71 women from the island of Ikaria, aged between 66-91 years old to engage in their study. Apparently 87 percent of participants regularly drank coffee Greece, with a composition of 40 percent of coffee consumption in the number of 'low', 48 percent 'moderate' and 13 percent 'high' every his day.

Each participant was also asked to answer a questionnaire about lifestyle, general health condition and consumption of his coffee. Not only that participants also undergoing health screening is routinely, including measurement of blood pressure, cholesterol levels, checking diabetes risk and its endothelial cell function.

The results, compared with people who drank regular coffee, the function of the endothelial cells of coffee drinkers Greece looks much better, even among people who suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure.

Endothelial cells are cells that form a network called the endothelium in the blood vessels. If this cell is 'healthy' then blood vessels also healthy, meaning that it can contract and relax normally. Another case if the blood vessels 'sick', then diseases such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke and other chronic problems will be easy to attack.

Even that is not less surprising, Greek coffee is known not give any negative impact on the blood pressure of people who consume them. To make sure it, researchers have been compare conditions people who drink various types of coffee, including instant coffee, boiled coffee, 'cappuccino' or coffee that has been filtered.

"Greek coffee is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, well as only contains caffeine with moderate levels. Apparently, third of things it is has provided a combination of benefits that not owned by other coffee," said Siasos.

Not just coffee, the researchers also discovered that Ikaria community, consuming herbal medicines, tea and honey that only exist on the islands it and not found in other places in corners of the world, well as has low levels of stress. could be consumption of materials that is what makes the community of Ikaria island be the people with the longest life expectancy in the world.


Hopefully useful for you..
If you find Greek coffee, drink in order that your age will be longer..

Thank you...

Study: Sleep with turn on the AC can make high blood

Study: Sleep with turn on the AC can make high blood

Not infrequently when swelter at night, AC (Air Conditioner) or air conditioning in the bedroom turned on all night. The risk is not just catch a cold, according to research that also can lead to high blood pressure.

Keigo Saeki, MD, a scientist from Nara Medical University in Japan proves thing it in a new research. According to him, the cold temperature during sleep can affect blood vessel constriction and ultimately increase blood pressure.

In his research, Dr. Saeki reveals that if someone is sleeping with a room temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit or about 14 deracat Celsius, blood pressure tends to rise 6-8 percent the next day. In comparation, sleep in the room with temperature 76 degrees Fahrenheit or 24 degrees Celsius.

Dr. Saeki explains blood pressure naturally will increase when a person wakes up in the morning. Well, when someone is sleeping in the room in cold temperatures throughout the night, the increase it will become higher because the blood vessels experience constricting or narrowing.

"These conditions increase blood pressure at least 2 hours, and during it happens tension that serious on the heart," explains Dr. Saeki.

Even if his relationship with cardiac considered excessive, sleeping in a room that is too cold can actually be directly perceived its effects on the body. Usually, people who sleep in a cold room will wake up with body feels stiff because catch a cold.

If have heating, advisable precisely the room temperature be raised in order to more warm during sleep. No need to be turned on all night because wasteful of energy and would also not be healthier if it gets too hot, enough be increased only the temperature 1.5 hours before sleep and then turned off.

Or can also with another way of using a thick blanket. No need to be too thick also, because it was freezing or swelter are equally uncomfortable to sleep and in the end both could reduce the quality of sleep.

Cholesterol Fear on People who Optimistic and Wise

Cholesterol Fear on People who Optimistic and Wise

As we know, the best way to lower cholesterol is with diet and exercise. But that alone is not enough. According to the research, an optimistic attitude can make people easier to control cholesterol levels.

In research conducted by scientists from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and found that adults were always optimistic and positive view, have healthy levels of good cholesterol in his blood. Good cholesterol this is one of the determinants of cardiovascular health.

Previous studies have been conducted which shows that optimism can reduce the risk of heart attack. So the researchers decided to see whether there is an independent relationship between optimistic or pessimistic view with cholesterol, which is known to play an important role in the risk of heart attack.

"The study of this further adds to the evidence that psychological, someone closely associated with his physical health. Thoughts were always optimistic and far of pessimism have some real benefits for health, including promoting healthy kolesetrol," said Julia Boehm, author of the study.

The research team analyzed data that obtained through telephone interviews and laboratory tests on 990 people aged 40 to 70 years in the United States. Through results of interviews, researchers can measure the level of optimism of the participants were graded on a scale between 6 to 30 have been agreed in advance.

The results show people with a value of high optimism also have a higher level of HDL, a form from cholesterol that is believed to protect a person against heart disease. Participants also have lower levels of triglycerides, namely the fat molecules involved in hardening of the arteries.

The study no found existence of association between optimism with levels of total cholesterol or bad cholesterol (LDL). For each increase of 5 points on a scale of optimism, HDL in the blood increased as big as 1 milligram per deciliter.

"Increasing HDL because of optimism it, can lower 3 percent risk of heart disease. As a comparison, regular exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease as big as 6 percent," the researchers said. But the optimism effects towards cholesterol will be weakened if your lifestyle is not healthy, such as smoking, irregular eating patterns, or consume alcohol.

The risk of heart attacks and strokes are more common for people who are depressed, namely people who have been lost outlook of her optimistic, towards life so that just fulfilled by pessimistic views.

This research results are then reported in the American Journal of Cardiology online on February 25, 2013 last.

This examination is addressed for look at the modalities of what that can be done and how much his benefit. The selected action will be adjusted with conditions scars it, start from which mild, form of use of creams until former stitches reconstruction.

Study: Having many a boys can shorten age mom

Study: Having many a boys can shorten age mom

Almost every family wants the boy that can be proud and someday replace the role of the father, as the support for the family. But a new study from Finland found that having a boy not necessarily make a happy family because just with having a boy, the mother could have been not long-lived.

Even according to this study, a woman who had several boys age 8.5 months more little than women who had a number of girls only, no matter how much his wealth and social status. However similar conditions do not affect age of life expectancy father.

The conclusion was obtained after researchers observing birth data in which more than 11,000 mothers of 8 parishes in Finland in the 17th century up to the 20th where the majority of people still agrarian and do not have access to modern health facilities.

From there it is known a mother who had six boys will live average during 32.4 years after the birth of their last child, whereas women who had some a girls can live average during 33.1 years post of birth his last.

Researchers speculate that when conceived, baby boys produce more many hormone testosterone than girls, whereas it can weaken the immune system of the mother. Moreover, baby boys grow faster in the womb so that it feels heavier when conceived, that puts more much load on the body of the mother.

"This study shows increasingly many a Boys who owned a woman, then the post-reproductive survival rate became increasingly lower. Moreover, socio-cultural factors also can play a role in this because when adults, girls are oftentimes still sustain the life of his mother, another case with boys, "explained researchers Dr. Samuli Helle of the University of Turku, Finland as reported by the Daily Mail.

Even so, Dr. Helle suspect this phenomenon appears to apply only for the developing countries. For developed countries such as the UK and Finland of today, this phenomenon may already rarely happens because the number of family who more little and healthcare facilities as well as access towards healthy food already much better.

The study has been published in the journal Biology Letters.

Some diseases such as gonorrhea and tuberculosis are no longer susceptible to eradicate with antibiotics available today. So now scientists are trying to find a way to make a stronger antibiotics. Who would have thought the drug was apparently found in human sweat.

Research published Proceedings of the Natural Academy of Sciences was conducted by scientists from the Max Planck Institute in Germany, the University of Strasbourg in France and the University of Edinburgh in the UK. The researchers analyzed the chemical compound named dermcidin which are found in human sweat.

Dermcidin controlled and issued by the sweat glands. This compound is very easy adaptable for attack mushrooms and bacteria. Chemical compounds that generally target the cell wall so that bacteria can develop a resistance or immunity. But because Dermcidin easily adaptable, these chemicals are suitable to cope it.

Bacteria that enter in the human skin halted due to the presence of zinc contained in sweat. Dermcidin then removed and fiddling with the water content and particles that across the cell membrane. Because could not move, bacteria and mushrooms helpless against these chemicals.

"Antibiotics are not only available on our own body to produce a substance that efficiently fend off bacteria, mushrooms and viruses. Now we know in detail how the workings of the natural antibiotic. we can use it to help fight infections more effectively than traditional antibiotics," said researcher Ulrich Zachariae as reported Counsel and Heal.

Some diseases caused by bacterial infection is known not immune combated with antibiotics, for example: the tuberculosis bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus. Because already immune, various antibiotics were always updated. To date, there have been 1700 of natural types of antibiotics in the world.

Study: Men will longevity if his wife younger

Mappily married
Many found the men who marry women much younger than himself. The young woman does seem to be more interesting than is already old. One study found that pairs with a younger woman will make him live longer.

The study was conducted by researchers at the Max Plank Institute of Germany. The researchers looked at mortality data from 1990 to 2005 all citizens of Denmark. The results found that the chances a man for fast dies, is reduced by up to 20 percent if you have a spouse aged 15-17 years younger.

The risk of death of a husband whose age 7-9 years older was reduced up to 11 percent rather than the husband who has a couples of the same age. The increase in male life expectancy having a younger wife is allegedly caused because younger women will be more painstaking care of her husband.

Unfortunately, the effect of age difference is actually bad for women. The greater the age difference from her husband, age life expectancy by wife become lower. This relationship regardless of whether women younger or older of her husband.

In a study published the journal Demography, researchers found that women who marry men aged 7-9 years younger would increase the risk of death by 20 percent. Therefore, the researchers noticed that most women healthy, not attempt to chase men younger.

However, some studies have found that most women who more like with a man of the same age, but many of them instead ended married with older people. In the U.S., the average age of a husband is 2.3 years older than his wife.

"One possible explanation is that some women who have a couples with younger husbands considered to violate social norms and thus suffer from social sanctions," said the researcher, Sven Drefahl as reported by Medical News Today.

Because married with a younger husband, is considered to deviate from the normal assumption, this couple is considered as outsiders and less socially acceptable. This will make the wedding is less fun, stress and ultimately increase the risk of death.

Study: Human Body Being in the 'Top of Glory' At Age 26 Years

(Photo: google)
'Top of Glory' of the human body occurs at the age of 26 years. Starting the year after that or at the age of 27 years, human fitness dropped dramatically.

Similarly, claims a new study quoted by the Times of India. Studies conducted by the Heart Foundation also showed that one in five people stop exercising after the age of more than 26 years. Many people then more likes for sit lazing on the couch.

As many as 20 percent of people surveyed called laziness exercising appear after marriage. While nearly half of those surveyed said intensity of sports is reduced because they are preoccupied by working time which becomes longer.

Most of the 2,000 people surveyed said they were dieting and exercising on a regular basis when he was 26 years old. Well, a third of respondents cite having more time for exercising before having children.

Meanwhile, 33 percent of men mention them drinking in much smaller amounts of alcohol at the age of 26 years. Many are saying he is in the most fit condition when they have time to exercise in schools and colleges.

From these studies note that only 10 percent of respondents who care about her weight. They hope with ideal body weight can attract his couple.

Scientists found the eyeglasses sophisticated, that can overcome color blind

People who are color blind often found it difficult. In addition to confusion when sorting through the clothes that fit, color blind people are often rejected when following a particular selection, such as selection of college or military service. Now do not worry, scientists have made special glasses to overcome it.

This is a laboratory eyeglasses maker named 2AI Labs. To find these glasses, scientists need research during the past 2 years. The inventor, Mark Changizi, explaining that most mammals have a 2-dimensional color, the brightness or gray blue and yellow dimensions.

But some primates, including humans, have a third dimension, namely red and green. This third dimension is useful to help find the fruit in the forest. Changizi doubt this theory because the primates have very different foods.

He believed that the third dimension is developed to feel the emotion signal, such as a flushed face when angry. In fact primates have some body parts that show color variations of green and red.

Changzi found that red green vision in primates is sensitive to the level of oxygenation in the blood. He then created the glasses to see the blood flow under the skin. Later he realized that his creation glasses can also be used to help people with color blindness.

When the eyeglasses are tested on individuals who are color blind, it turns out that individual successfully passed the color blind test. As reported by the Telegraph, Friday (02/08/2013), 2AI Labs is also developing two other types of lenses are used for medical purposes. Abnormalities of color blindness, predicted owned by 10 percent of men and a small proportion of women.

This the reason, people difficult to apologize

illustration (Photo: Thinkstock)
When making a mistake, the first thing to do to show remorse is to apologize and promise not to repeat the same mistakes.

Moreover apology can reduce the guilt and help improve the image of people make mistakes. Yet there are still also people who are reluctant to apologize. What's behind it?

According to a new study from Australia, apparently refused to apologize it provides a more powerful psychological benefits that enhance self-esteem.

This conclusion was obtained after lead researcher Dr. Tyler Okimoto from the University of Queensland Business School conducted two experiments. In the first experiment, researchers recruited 228 people aged 18-77 years. Participants were divided into three groups: the first group was asked to recall a time when they have to make others angry and willing to apologize.

The second group was asked to recall a time when they make mistakes on other people but refuse to apologize, while the third group was asked to remember a time when they make mistakes on other people, but do not regret and do not refuse to apologize.

As a result, participants who refused to apologize reported feeling greater power and higher self-esteem than participants who are willing to ask for forgiveness. Actually, when compared to not do anything about it, apologize also said can increase self-esteem, just that refused to apologize benefit self-esteem that is bigger than apologize.

To verify these findings, a second trial was held. In this experiment, researchers recruited 219 adults aged 18-71 years. Participants were also divided into three groups: the first group was asked to write an email with apologies to anyone who ever made the mistake of participants in the real world.

The second group was asked to write an apology email rejection, while the third group given the mistakes that they had just done but was not asked to write anything. From there it is known that participants who refused to apologize felt had greater self-esteem than participants who did not write the email at all. But participants who apologized, not obtain any benefit.

"It appears that the perceived benefits by those who refused to apologize is prevent potential negative impacts on self-esteem, especially as a form of defense against harmful actions or threats from the outside," said Dr. Okimoto as reported by the Daily Mail.

The study has been published in the European Journal of Social Psychology.
