Meditation may have potential to change the brain's physical structure, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have found. People who meditate have stronger connections between brain regions and show less age-related brain atrophy, according to the researchers. Stronger connections influence the ability to rapidly relay electrical signals in the brain. And significantly, these effects are evident throughout the entire brain, not just in specific areas. The study consisted of 27 active meditation practitioners (average age 52) and 27 control subjects, who were matched by age and sex. The meditation and the control group each consisted of 11 men and 16 women. The number of years of meditation practice ranged from 5 to 46; self-reported meditation styles included Shamatha, Vipassana and Zazen, practiced by about 55 percent of the meditators, either exclusively or in combination with other styles. Pronounced structural connectivity The researchers used a type of brain imaging known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a relatively new imaging mode that provides insights into the structural connectivity of the brain. They found that the differences between meditators and controls are not confined to a particular core region of the brain but involve large-scale networks that include the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes and the anterior corpus callosum, as well as limbic structures and the brain stem. They found pronounced structural connectivity in meditators throughout the entire brain's pathways. The greatest differences between the two groups were seen within the corticospinal tract (a collection of axons that travel between the cerebral cortex of the brain and the spinal cord), the superior longitudinal fasciculus (long bi-directional bundles of neurons connecting the front and the back of the cerebrum), and the uncinate fasciculus (white matter that connects parts of the limbic system, such as the hippocampus and amygdala, wi

Calcium deficiency can lead to many diseases especially rickets. Calcium is responsible for good bone and teeth structure. Osteomalacia is a disease of abnormal softening of bones caused by deficiencies of calcium and phosphorous. Lack of free ionized calcium in the blood may cause tetany. In addition, calcium also plays an important part in other functions such as nerve conduction, muscle contraction, enzyme activity and blood clotting.

Thiamine is also called as Thiamin or Vitamin B1- it is a member of the Vitamin B family and it was first discovered by Umetaro Suzuki (a Japanese Scientist) in Japan. But in 1926, it was crystallized by Barend Coenraad Petrus Jansen and Willem Frederik Donath. Later in 1935, Robert Runnels Williams determined the chemical structure of it and named it as Thiamine. Thiamine plays a major role in the disease of Beriberi. This is a disease of muscular weakness, energy deprivation, and inactivity. Vitamin B1 or Thiamine is a water soluble vitamin helps to convert carbohydrates into glucose.

A new study by researchers from the University of Miami shows that maternal sensitivity may influence language development among children who go on to develop autism. Although parenting styles are not considered as a cause for autism, this report examines how early parenting can promote resiliency in this population. The study entitled, "A Pilot Study of Maternal Sensitivity in the Context of Emergent Autism," is published online this month and will appear in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.

Dentists in Miami are becoming increasingly concerned with free radical damage.  Free radicals are malicious, unbalanced atoms that gradually destroy cellular structures over time.  Eventually, the cell becomes dysfunctional and dies.  A growing body of research is beginning to link free radicals damage with serious illness, causing physicians and health care professionals to educate patients on staying healthy with antioxidants.
