Healthday News reported that aspirin is helpful in the prevention of ovarian cancer. The research team, led by Professor Lauren Huritz of the US National Cancer Institute (NC), analyzed the data of 17 related research papers that have been published so far. . Of the 17 research papers, 9 were from the ovarian cancer cohort (same cohort: 2600 patients), and 8 were from the experimental-control group (5726 patients).
Overall, the researchers found that women who consumed aspirin frequently had a 13% lower risk of ovarian cancer. Aspirin was more effective in women with more risk factors for ovarian cancer, such as obesity, a family history of ovarian and breast cancer, no childbirth, and taking oral contraceptives.
In women with two or more risk factors for ovarian cancer, aspirin reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 81%. However, aspirin did not reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women with endometriosis, a risk factor for ovarian cancer.
The results of this study were published in the latest issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, a journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Medical news portal News Medical Life Sciences reported that vitamin D supplementation was effective in relieving depression. This is the result of a comprehensive analysis of data from 41 clinical trials related to vitamin D-depression (set as a randomized control group) published in the world so far by a research team led by Professor Tuomas Mikola at the Institute of Clinical Medicine at Eastern University of Finland.
According to the research team, in all clinical trials, the group taking the vitamin D supplement had less depression than the control group not taking it. The doses of vitamin D supplements taken were significantly different, but those taking 50-100 μg (micrograms) were the most common.
Vitamin D is known to regulate the functions of the central nervous system. Disturbances in the central nervous system are associated with depression. However, the research team said that the results of this trial have low certainty of evidence due to the risk of population heterogeneity and bias among participants.
The results of this study were published in the latest issue of Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, an American journal of food and nutrition.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN)–With diabetes myths rife, be wary of information that can cause your health to decline.
You may have heard that bitter food lowers blood sugar levels.
However, the UAE Ministry of Health and Community Protection clarified, through its official account on the Instagram website, that this information is just a myth and has no basis in truth.
In fact, bitter-tasting foods do not affect blood sugar levels, as the amount of carbohydrates consumed controls the amounts of glucose in the blood. It does not depend on the taste of the taste.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population revealed, on its official Facebook page, a leaflet explaining the different types of diabetes and its symptoms.
Here are the types of diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes
It occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin, it completely stops secretion and the body needs a daily supply of insulin.
This type of diabetes cannot be avoided because it is basically an autoimmune disease and it comes without any prerequisites. It also mostly affects children and young adults.
- Type 2 diabetes
It is caused either by a lack of insulin secretion from the pancreas or due to the ineffective use of insulin in the body.
It is usually the result of being overweight or obese, not doing any physical activity, or eating unhealthy food.
It is an increase in blood sugar levels above normal levels, which usually appears during weeks 24-28 of pregnancy, and disappears in 50% of women following childbirth.
- secondary diabetes
It is caused by another factor that leads to high sugar in the body, such as adrenal gland tumors, pancreatectomy due to tumors, or chronic inflammation of the pancreas.
Here are the symptoms of diabetes:
- blurred vision
- heat in feet
- Pain and numbness in the hands and feet
- Frequent infections of the skin
- frequent urination
- Feeling tired, lethargic and stressed
- delayed wound healing
- Excessive thirst and hunger
- Weight loss

The footballer is not very comfortable with his situation in the Barcelona and hopes that the following weekend, when they face the Valladolid at the Camp Nou, you can already be registered.

”The priority is to register Koundé. At this time we need departures to register you. He is a natural leader, communicates and has a great ball output. We have made a great signing. We are waiting, we still have time. We are waiting to see if we can register you or not. This is the situation, now he is on ‘stand-by’, nothing new at the moment”.
