Research found that moderate and intense exercise relieved anxiety symptoms. About 286 individuals with anxiety syndrome were recruited from Gothenburg's primary care facilities. After a 12-week program of group exercise sessions, majority of the people went from a moderate degree of anxiety to a low level of anxiety. Previous research on physical exercise in depression revealed significant symptom relief. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and… read-more

According to recent US-China research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on October 19, prices of solar and coal power in China might become equal by 2023. China, the world's largest carbon emitter, may be approaching a turning point in its shift to renewable energy. China will have the capability to build solar electricity across the country at the same cost as coal in two years.

Researchers claim that feces of salt-miners contain the oldest traces of cheese-ripening in Europe. The finding was made by examining samples of human-feces found at the core of Hallstatt-mine in Austrian-Alps, on October 13. Researchers examined four-samples dating back to Bronze-Age, Iron-Age, and the 18th-century. One of them, estimated to be around 2,700 years old, and was discovered to contain two fungi, Penicillium-roqueforti and… read-more

A new study performed by the University College London discovered an anti-viral gene that influences the risk of both Alzheimer's disease and severe COVID-19. The findings might pave the way for novel therapeutic targets or assessing disease progression in either disease, as well as imply that therapies produced could be utilised for both diseases. The results may potentially have implications for other viral diseases and dementias.

Opioids are effective pain relievers, but their usage is limited because patients get accustomed to them, necessitating higher and higher dosages. Also, overdoses can result in respiratory depression and death. "The holy grail of opioid research is to determine the ideal properties of an opioid analgesic for maximizing pain relief while reducing the adverse side effects," said Jennifer Whistler, professor of UC Davis School of Medicine.
