Un ibuprofeno al día podría impedir el desarrollo del Mal de Parkinson

Los científicos observaron que los usuarios habituales de ibuprofeno tenían un 40% menos de probabilidades de desarrollar Parkinson que las personas que no lo tomaban. Además, las personas que tomaban cantidades mayores de ibuprofeno tenían menos probabilidad que las que tomaban cantidades menores.


PERIODISMO.COM (WWW.NEOMUNDO.COM.AR, (FUENTE: SINC) JUEVES, 18 DE FEBRERO DE 2010 Una nueva investigación, publicada en la revista Neurology, muestra que las personas que toman ibuprofeno de manera periódica pueden reducir el riesgo de desarrollar la enfermedad de Parkinson. Los hallazgos del estudio se presentarán en el 62º Congreso Anual de la American Academy of Neurology.
"El ibuprofeno fue el único medicamento antiinflamatorio no esteroideo (AINE) vinculado a un menor riesgo de desarrollar párkinson", afirma Xiang Gao, uno de los autores del estudio e investigador en la Facultad de Salud Pública de Harvard (EE UU).
En la investigación, publicada en el último número de la revista Neurology, participaron 136.474 personas que no tenían la enfermedad de Parkinson. Se preguntó a los pacientes si utilizaban AINEs como la aspirina, el ibuprofeno y el acetaminofeno. Al cabo de seis años, 293 participantes desarrollaron la enfermedad.
Los científicos observaron que los usuarios habituales de ibuprofeno tenían un 40% menos de probabilidades de desarrollar Parkinson que las personas que no lo tomaban. Además, las personas que tomaban cantidades mayores de ibuprofeno tenían menos probabilidad que las que tomaban cantidades menores. Los resultados fueron los mismos independientemente de la edad, consumo de tabaco e ingesta de cafeína.
"Otros AINEs y analgésicos, incluida la aspirina y el acetaminofeno, no parecieron tener ningún efecto para reducir el riesgo de enfermedad, explica Gao. Es necesaria una mayor investigación para descubrir cómo y por qué el ibuprofeno parece reducir el riesgo de desarrollar párkinson, una patología que afecta a un millón de personas sólo en EE UU", concluye el experto.

Brain health. Promising prebiotics and probiotics combination

According to new research, the bacteria in our gut, known as gut microbiota, play an important role in brain injury and healing after a stroke. Taking particular types of prebiotics and probiotics can help with brain injury, inflammation, gut bacteria imbalances, and intestinal health. However, we still don't know whether prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of both) perform best for particular conditions, or how they operate. In this study, scientists tested a new synbiotic formulation containing multiple strains of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40 Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58 Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22 Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01 and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS)  FOS are extracted from the blue agave plant and fruits and vegetables such as bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, jícama, and leeks. Some grains and cereals, such as wheat and barley, also contain FOS. The Jerusalem artichoke and ...

Catch of the Day: Hypnosis, Fibromyalgia, IBD, Gut Microbiota, Aging

Hypnosis as a Tool for Managing Fibromyalgia Pain "Harnessing Hypnosis: A Promising Approach to Tackle Fibromyalgia Pain" Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and emotional challenges. The exact cause of FMS is not fully understood, but there's evidence suggesting a link between childhood/adulthood abuse or neglect and its development. Treating FMS can be difficult due to its resistance to most treatments. However, a recent review suggests that hypnotherapy, a psychological intervention, could be effective in managing FMS pain. This technique aims to reduce pain, fatigue, sleep problems, anxiety, and depression by using hypnosis to address emotional conflicts and unresolved traumas associated with FMS. This non-invasive approach might offer relief to those struggling with fibromyalgia. De Benedittis G. The Challenge of Fibromyalgia Efficacy of Hypnosis in Alleviating the Invisibl...
