How grape compounds can help to treat depression.

A new study unravels the mechanism by which compounds found in grapes improve resilience to stress in mice and attenuate the brain changes linked with depression. In new research, a combination of various grape and grape seed extracts is shown to reduce stress-induced depression. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, major depressive disorder, or clinical depression , is now "the leading cause of disability" among people between 15 and 44 years old in the United States. Every year, more than 16 million U.S. adults are affected. This is the equivalent of around 6.7 percent of the country's adult population. Conventional drug treatments for depression are not particularly effective. In fact, the authors of the new study say that less than 50 percent of those diagnosed with depression experience temporary remission of the illness. The need for alternative treatments is therefore dire. This is why the scientists — led by Giulio Maria Pasi

Cell phone radiation: Could high exposure cause tumors?.

High exposure to radiofrequency radiation resulted in tumors in tissue around the nerves in the hearts of male rats, but not of female rats or male or female mice, according to preliminary conclusions of two studies. Two new studies have investigated the effects of cell phone radiation on the health of rodents. Draft reports on the two studies by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States, were released recently , pending a review by external experts that is scheduled to take place March 26–28. Members of the public may also submit comments. The reports contain the remaining results of two large "toxicology and carcinogenesis" studies — one conducted in rats and the other in mice — of the effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitted by cell phones. "The levels and duration of exposure," explains Dr. John Bucher, a senior scientist with the NTP, "to RFR were much gre

This time around there is no place for escape anywhere. “We had earlier asked those of them that want to surrender to do so and we are still asking them to come out and surrender otherwise they are going to meet it the hard way”, he said. But in a new footage, Shekau threatened more violence in the region, insisting that his men were still in Sa

THE National Assembly elections will be conducted first in 2019, the panel of the two legislative conference committee on the amendment of the Electoral Act has endorsed. The committee also placed the governorship and state assembly elections as the second to hold while the presidential election comes last. The committee said that the new election sequence would ensure that every candidate is elected on his own merit without riding on another person ’ s popularity .

Nigerian women fight fear to make Olympic bobsleigh history.

As they prepare to make Olympic history in Pyeongchang, Nigeria’s women’s bobsleigh team admit they battle their demons every time they climb into the sled. Being billed as “Cool Runnings” reloaded in the West African country’s first Winter Games appearance, Seun Adigun and Akuoma Omeoga knelt in silent prayer Wednesday before hurtling down the track at breakneck speeds they know could kill them. “The first time I got in a sled it was honestly terrifying,” driver Seun told AFP in an interview after training. “The only thing that saved my peace of mind was that I used to be a gamer, so initially I just treated it like a video game,” added the bubbly 31-year-old, who represented Nigeria as a hurdler at the 2012 London Olympics. “That kind of helps dampen the fear because when you get in a sled you really don’t know exactly what’s going to happen. “We also pray! If there’s a ritual that we do that’s what it is.” Thirty years after the Jamaican men’s bobsled team too
