1,000-year-old medieval remedy could be potential antibiotic, scientists say

-

Antibiotic resistance is real. In the years to come, we may no longer be able to treat and cure many of the infections we once could as bacteria outsmart our most sophisticated drugs.
With drug resistance expected to result in 10 million deaths a year by 2050, scientists are hunting high and low for alternatives to antibiotics.
A team of UK researchers has found some hope in an unexpected place: a medieval manuscript.
A 1,000-year-old natural remedy made from onion, garlic, wine and bile salts has shown antibacterial potential, with promise to treat diabetic foot and leg infections, new research published Tuesday suggested.
Known as Bald's eyesalve, the treatment has the potential to tackle biofilm infections -- communities of bacteria which resist antibiotics -- making them much harder to treat, the researchers said.
Biofilm infections are estimated to cost the United Kingdom alone more than 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) every year, the study said.
The medieval concoction was first identified as being of potential help in the battle against superbugs in 2015, and the latest study in the journal Scientific Reports has shed more light on how it works and how it might be applied in practice.
"This is the real detailed hard slog of finding out more information and seeing if it really could be developed into something clinically useful," said Freya Harrison, a microbiologist at the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick in the UK and an author of the study.

اینٹی بائیوٹک مزاحمت حقیقی ہے۔  آنے والے سالوں میں ، ہم اب بہت سارے انفیکشن کا علاج اور علاج نہیں کر پائیں گے جو ایک بار بیکٹیریا ہماری انتہائی نفیس ادویات کو پیچھے چھوڑ دیتے تھے۔
 توقع ہے کہ منشیات کے خلاف مزاحمت کے نتیجے میں 2050 تک ایک سال میں 10 ملین اموات ہوں گی ، سائنس دان اینٹی بائیوٹک کے متبادل کے ل for اعلی اور کم شکار کر رہے ہیں۔
 برطانیہ کے محققین کی ایک ٹیم کو غیر متوقع جگہ پر کچھ امید ملی ہے: ایک قرون وسطی کا نسخہ۔
 منگل کو شائع ہونے والی نئی تحقیق میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ پیاز ، لہسن ، شراب اور پتوں کے نمک سے ایک ہزار سالہ قدیم قدرتی علاج نے ذیابیطس کے پاؤں اور ٹانگوں کے انفیکشن کے علاج کے وعدے کے ساتھ اینٹی بیکٹیریل صلاحیتوں کو ظاہر کیا ہے۔

 محققین کا کہنا ہے کہ بالڈ کی آنکھوں کی نالی کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے ، اس علاج میں بائیوفیلم انفیکشن ، بیکٹیریا کی کمیونٹیز جو اینٹی بائیوٹکس کے خلاف مزاحمت کرتی ہے ، سے نمٹنے کی صلاحیت رکھتی ہے۔
 اس تحقیق میں کہا گیا ہے کہ بائیو فلم کے انفیکشن کا تخمینہ صرف برطانیہ میں ہر سال 1 بلین پاؤنڈ (1.3 بلین ڈالر) سے زیادہ ہوتا ہے۔
 قرون وسطی کے اعتراف کو سب سے پہلے سن 2015 میں سپر بگز کے خلاف جنگ میں ممکنہ مدد کی حیثیت سے پہچانا گیا تھا ، اور سائنسی رپورٹس جریدے کے تازہ ترین مطالعے میں اس بات پر زیادہ روشنی ڈالی گئی ہے کہ یہ کس طرح کام کرتا ہے اور عملی 
طور پر اس کا اطلاق کیسے ہوسکتا ہے۔
 برطانیہ میں واروک یونیورسٹی کے اسکول آف لائف سائنسز کی ایک مائکرو بایولوجسٹ اور مصنف نے کہا ، "زیادہ سے زیادہ معلومات حاصل کرنے اور یہ دیکھنے کے لئے کہ یہ واقعی طبی طور پر کسی مفید چیز میں تیار کیا جاسکتا ہے ، کی حقیقی مفصل سخت بات ہے۔"  مطالعہ کی.

The Hagia Sophia.....

The Hagia Sophia , whose name means “holy wisdom,” is a domed monument originally built as a cathedral in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey ) in the sixth century A.D. It contains two floors centered on a giant nave that has a great dome ceiling, along with smaller domes, towering above. “Hagia Sophia’s dimensions are formidable for any structure not built of steel,” writes Helen Gardner and Fred Kleiner in their book "Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: A Global History." “In plan it is about 270 feet [82 meters] long and 240 feet [73 meters] wide. The dome is 108 feet [33 meters] in diameter and its crown rises some 180 feet [55 meters] above the pavement.” In its 1,400 year life-span it has served as a cathedral, mosque and now a museum. When it was first constructed, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. This state, officially Christian, originally formed the eastern half of the Roman Empire and carried on after the fall of Rome. F...

Benefits of Exercise. . .ورزش کے فوائد

New research published in the journal Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention shows that exercise like walking may reduce a person's risk for cancer. The researchers found that postmenopausal women who were very active or walked for at least seven hours a week had a reduced risk for breast cancer. The researchers looked at a cohort of 73,615 postmenopausal women who reported their physical activity and found that women who participated in vigorous physical activity every day had a 25% lower risk for breast cancer, and women who walked for at least seven hours a week had a 14% lower risk for breast cancer. Given that 60% of women report some type of daily walking, the researchers say promoting walking as a leisure time activity can have protective benefits for women. Even without any other forms of exercise, women who walk had higher chances of keeping breast cancer at bay. Walking could be as beneficial to the body than say running and swimming. Research loo...

Eyes Blinking

Scientists have shown that the average person blinks 15-20 times per minute. That's up to 1,200 times per hour and a whopping 28,800 times in a day—much more often than we need to keep our eyeballs lubricated. In fact, we spend about 10 percent of our waking hours with our eyes closed. So why do we blink so much? New research from Japan's Osaka University found that blinking may serve as a form of momentary rest for the brain, giving the mind a chance to wander and "go offline." These brief breaks may last just a split second, or even a few seconds. When our brains aren't concentrated on a task, brain regions known as the "default mode network" come alive, allowing our mind to switch into an idle mode—a phenomenon researchers discovered decades ago. But how does blinking affect this idle state? According to the new research, blinking and the brain at rest go hand in hand. In order to understand this phenomenon, scientists monitored the brain activity of ...
