North Carolina State University researchers discovered cockroach infestations release high levels of allergens and bacterial endotoxins that worsen indoor air quality.

The study in Raleigh apartment complexes found female cockroaches produce twice as many endotoxins as males because they eat more food.

Endotoxins are bacterial cell wall fragments released when bacteria die, shed through cockroach droppings.

Kitchens contained more endotoxins than bedrooms due to abundant food sources. When pest control eliminated cockroaches, both allergen and endotoxin levels dropped sharply.

Untreated homes showed consistently high levels throughout the six-month study.

Future research will examine how cockroach allergens and endotoxins interact in asthma models.

Ang lungkot na ganito na kalaganap sa mga bata 😢 Too much salty at oily food talaga nakakasira ng kidneys. Dapat turuan na rin ng parents kung ano ang tamang Pinggang Pinoy. Prevention starts at home! 🥦🍚🥩

‼️KASO NG INFLUENZA-LIKE ILLNESS, BUMABA SA UNANG DALAWANG LINGGO NG OKTUBRE; DOH, NILINAW NA WALANG OUTBREAK‼️

Nakapagtala ang DOH ng 6,457 na kaso ng ILI sa bansa mula September 28 hanggang October 11, 2025. Mas mababa ito ng 39% kumpara sa sa naitalang 10,740 na kaso sa linggo ng September 14 hanggang September 27, 2025.

Bagamat maaari pang magbago dahil patuloy ang surveillance, mas mababa rin ito ng 25% kaysa sa naitalang 8,628 na kaso sa parehong panahon noong 2024.

Una nang nilinaw ni DOH Secretary Ted Herbosa na walang outbreak at hindi kakailanganin ng anumang lockdown dahil sa Influenza-Like Illness o ILI.

Gayunpaman, paalala ng DOH:
✅ Ugaliin ang regular na paghuhugas ng kamay gamit ang malinis na tubig at sabon;
✅ Takpan ang bibig o ilong kapag uubo o babahing; at
✅ Sapat na tulog, pagkain nang tama, at pag-inom ng maraming tubig.

Kung makaranas ng mga sintomas tulad ng lagnat, ubo, o pananakit ng lalamunan o katawan:

✅Manatili muna sa bahay upang maiwasan ang pagkahawa ng iba;
✅Maaaring uminom ng gamot para maibsan ang nararamdamang sintomas, gaya ng paracetamol kung may lagnat; at
✅Agad kumonsulta sa pinakamalapit na health center, pasilidad, o ospital para sa tamang payo at angkop na gamutan.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) damages nerves by attacking myelin, the protective layer around nerve fibers, leading to progressive disability. Researchers from UC Riverside and the University of Illinois have discovered two compounds, K102 and K110, that not only regulate immune activity but also stimulate natural myelin repair.

K102 showed the most promise, promoting remyelination in both mouse models and human-derived cells, effectively restoring nerve insulation and function. These compounds activate oligodendrocyte precursor cells, the building blocks of myelin, encouraging them to mature and repair damaged fibers a process that normally breaks down in MS.

After testing over 60 molecular variants, scientists identified these drug-like compounds with strong safety and efficacy profiles. While human trials are still forthcoming, this research, licensed to biotech startup Cadenza Bio, may one day benefit MS patients and others suffering nerve damage from spinal injuries or stroke.
