Einn stærsti vísindastyrkur sem ratað hefur til Íslands ©Kristinn Ingvarsson(fengin af www.landspitali.is) Rannsóknarhópur Sigurðar Yngva Kristinssonar hlaut á dögunum rannsóknarstyrk uppá 2,4 milljónir bandaríkjadala. Þessi upphæð samsvarar 300 milljónum íslenskra króna, en styrkinn hlaut hópurinn frá alþjóðlegum samskeppnissjóð sem staðsettur er í Kaliforníu og heitir International Myeloma Foundation. Verkefnið sem styrknum er ætlað að fjármagna snýst um að skilgreina svokallaða einstofna góðkynja mótefnahækkun (MGUS) en það er forstig krabbameins sem kallast mergæxli. Rannsóknin fer þannig fram að 140.000 einstaklingum á Íslandi er boðið uppá skimun á MGUS. Með þessu móti ætlar rannsóknarhópurinn að svara mikilvægum spurningum eins og hvort skimun fyrir MGUS sé hagkvæm og æskileg, hvaða áhrif það hefur á lífsgæði einstaklinga að greinast með MGUS og hvort hægt sé að meðhöndla mergæxlin á forstigi, en slík meðferð tíðkast ekki eins og staðan er í dag.

The mindfulness conspiracy | Life and style Mindfulness has gone mainstream, with celebrity endorsement from Oprah Winfrey and Goldie Hawn. Meditation coaches, monks and neuroscientists went to Davos to impart the finer points to CEOs attending the World Economic Forum. The founders of the mindfulness movement have grown evangelical. Prophesying that its hybrid of science and meditative discipline “has the potential to ignite a universal or global renaissance”, the inventor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Jon Kabat-Zinn, has bigger ambitions than conquering stress. So, what exactly is this magic panacea? But anything that offers success in our unjust society without trying to change it is not revolutionary – it just helps people cope. There are certainly worthy dimensions to mindfulness practice. What remains is a tool of self-discipline, disguised as self-help. But none of this means that mindfulness ought to be banned, or that anyone who finds it useful is deluded. Mindfulness is said to be a $4bn industry.

5 steps to better prostate health - Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand Once men find themselves facing any kind of prostate health issue, whether it is prostate cancer, enlarged prostate due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), or prostatitis, they immediately want to know what they can do. While the best plan is to prevent prostate problems through a healthy lifestyle, the good news is that there are actually many natural ways that a man can promote better prostate health even if he already has symptoms or a diagnosis of a problem. It makes sense that a man’s lifestyle, exercise habits, and diet have a tremendous impact on his prostate health. Good habits can help prevent and lower risk factors for prostate disease and conditions just like it can for other areas of the body. If a man already is experiencing prostate troubles, these natural changes can help keep these conditions from getting worse, help relieve symptoms, and even help cure them. Drink tea Both green tea and hibiscus tea are among the top drinks for prostate health. Exercise and lose weight

Jonathan Glazer: 'Nazism took hold like a fever. It's happening again' | Film The Americas with Simon Reeve is an amiable travelogue in which a dishy documentarian gads about the US. This Sunday night he was in California, examining giant redwoods and Beyoncé’s mansion. At 10pm, the credits rolled and, abruptly, BBC Two plunged us into hell. For five minutes before the start of Live at the Apollo, the channel screened a new short film in which a masked mob hang a man in a forest. He plunges for what feels an eternity (actually 86 seconds) down a well from the wooden gibbet, before the rope stops spooling and the man – miraculously alive – slowly starts to haul his way towards the light. In fact, The Fall is the latest film by Jonathan Glazer, the British director behind gangster comedy Sexy Beast, chilly Nicole Kidman reincarnation drama Birth and Under the Skin, in which Scarlett Johansson’s erotic alien feeds on Glaswegians. The Fall, his first work since Under the Skin, feels entirely of a piece. “I believe cinema is a frontier. Food for thought.

Apple macOS 10.15 vs. Windows 10 vs. Ubuntu 19.10 Performance Benchmarks JavaScript is required to view these results or log-in to <a href=" Premium</a>.

Of the three operating systems, macOS 10.15 was in last place about half the time.

Ubuntu 19.10 meanwhile had a 29.5% advantage over Apple macOS and 9% over Windows 10 for this tests from the same MacBook Pro. Where macOS tended to perform the best was with the Firefox web browser benchmarks, the results on Google Chrome were mixed under Windows and macOS, and macOS also did well in some of the creative workloads like the Appleseed renderer.

Measles give your immune system 'amnesia,' studies find Two separate studies, published Thursday in the journals Science and Science Immunology, found that the highly contagious and potentially fatal measles virus can cause "immune amnesia," removing antibodies that had protected patients from other illnesses. Researchers from the Harvard Medical School, who led the Science study, examined blood samples from children before and after getting measles. They found that the virus wipes out 11% to 73% of patients' protective antibodies, putting them at greater risk of viral and bacterial strains they were previously immune to. This means that measles can effectively undo the protection provided by vaccines against other infections like flu or even tuberculosis -- and measles outbreaks can thus cause spikes in other illnesses. Surviving measles patients do eventually regain these lost immunities -- but they need to be re-exposed to the illnesses to build up those defenses. The virus can cause fever, cough, watery eyes, and a rash of red spots.
