In a staggering display of innate talent and dedicated early training, Ratnagiri's Veda Sarfare has plunged into the India Book of Records as the youngest swimmer in the nation to complete the demanding 100 -metrer distance, a feat she accomplished in a remarkable 10 minutes and 8 seconds at the unbelievable age of just 1 year, 9 months, and 10 days. Having started formal training at a mere nine months old, Veda's record-breaking swim—which involved completing four full laps of the 25 metre municipal pool—has stunned the community, proving that her unique comfort and control in the water have enabled her to achieve a milestone that many adults struggle with.

Dear Parents,
Please Take These Things Seriously.
First of all, stop using too much phone infront of your kids bcoz kids see you first & argue. Secondly, try to play or involve them in other activities or outdoor games. Thirdly, set the screen time & most importantly give them time to play with you. Play cricket, badminton, basket ball, encourage them to work out like skipping, give them healthy food, dancing classes, yoga classes & you can junck food only once in a week as a cheat day. Routine check up is important if they too young to gain weight.

Dear Parents,
Too much screen time is very dangerous.
So set up the time & make your children understand that how harmful their screen time can be. Also child watch their parent's actions so avoid to check out or stick for too long on your mobile phone infront of your children. Children learn from your actions. Always remember that.

Bad memories? They could become a thing of the past thanks to a new memory-reprogramming technique.

"We found that this procedure weakened the recall of aversive memories and also increased involuntary intrusions of positive memories," the researchers wrote in their paper.

The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Linking negative memories to positive ones while sleeping can weaken the negative memories and bring more positive thoughts to mind. Participants learned to associate nonsense words with negative images. The next day, half of these associations were reprogrammed by linking the same words with positive images. During sleep, recordings of the nonsense words were played, and brain activity was monitored. When positive cues were used, researchers observed increased theta-band activity, which is linked to emotional memory processing.

Additional testing revealed that participants recalled fewer negative memories that had been paired with positive ones, and positive memories associated with those words were more likely to surface. The researchers suggest this noninvasive sleep intervention could offer new insights for treating trauma-related memories.

This study contributes to ongoing research exploring memory manipulation during sleep, though the complexity of memory requires further investigation to understand the precise mechanisms and long-term effects of such interventions. Weakening bad memories offers many potential benefits, especially for those with trauma, PTSD, or anxiety. These intrusive memories can severely impact quality of life, causing flashbacks and avoidance. Reducing their power can lessen these symptoms, helping individuals regain control and live more fully.

Researchers just found common genes linked to autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, Tourette syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anorexia.

These disorders all share common genetic variants that influence brain development.

Researchers found that these genetic differences impact multiple stages of brain growth and are involved in complex protein interactions. This discovery could explain why many of these conditions often appear together in individuals and families, offering a fresh perspective on mental health connections.

By identifying 683 genetic variants that regulate brain development, scientists hope to pave the way for new treatments targeting these shared genetic factors. This research challenges traditional classifications of psychiatric disorders and suggests that a single therapy could potentially address multiple conditions. With nearly 1 billion people worldwide affected by mental health disorders, these findings mark a significant step toward more effective, genetically-informed treatments.

The rates of this chronic condition are now *15 times* higher than before the pandemic, studies show.

A new study has found that individuals who’ve had COVID-19 are nearly eight times more likely to develop myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) — a debilitating condition marked by extreme fatigue, brain fog, and dizziness.

According to data from the NIH’s RECOVER Initiative, the incidence of ME/CFS is now 15 times higher than before the pandemic. Though ME/CFS has long been linked to post-viral illness, the pandemic has cast a spotlight on just how significant that link can be.

The study found that 4.5% of people with prior COVID infections met the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS, compared to only 0.6% of those who had not been infected. Nearly 90% of those meeting ME/CFS criteria were also classified as the most symptomatic long COVID patients, underscoring a strong connection between the two conditions.

This minor change in how we give vaccines could significantly enhance immune response.

New research reveals that getting vaccine doses in the same arm can supercharge the immune system’s response, offering faster protection.

A study published in Cell found that when a booster shot is given in the same arm as the initial dose, specialized immune cells in nearby lymph nodes—macrophages—can more efficiently activate memory B cells.

This leads to a quicker production of high-quality antibodies, especially important during outbreaks of fast-spreading diseases like COVID-19. In early testing, participants who received vaccines in the same arm generated neutralizing antibodies faster against variants like Delta and Omicron.

While the long-term immune response evens out regardless of which arm is used, the study suggests that for rapid early protection, site consistency matters. Researchers hope to refine vaccination guidelines based on this finding and explore ways to replicate or enhance these immune cell interactions in future vaccines. Although more research is needed, the discovery sheds light on the brilliant organization of the immune system—and how small adjustments in vaccination practices could have a big impact on public health.

Virologists say measles is far more dangerous than you probably think.

The 2025 measles outbreak in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma has reignited concern over a virus many Americans consider a relic of the past.

With more than 450 confirmed cases and likely many more unreported, public health officials warn of a broader resurgence. What makes measles so dangerous isn't just its extreme contagiousness—infecting up to 90% of unvaccinated people exposed—but also its capacity to cause long-term, even fatal, damage.

Beyond flu-like symptoms and rashes, measles can destroy lung tissue, impair breathing, and cause brain inflammation, leading to permanent disabilities or death in rare cases.
