Parkinson`s disease causes progressive changes in brain`s blood vessels: Study

Researchers in Australia have found that Parkinson`s disease causes significant and progressive changes in the brain`s blood vessels, changing the understanding of the disease. While Parkinson`s disease is characterised by alpha-synuclein protein deposits, the research demonstrated that region-specific changes to blood vessels in the brain underlie disease progression, Xinhua news agency reported. "Traditionally, Parkinson`s researchers have focused on protein accumulation and neuronal loss, but we have shown the impacts on our cerebrovasculature -- the blood vessels in our brain," said Derya Dik, postdoctoral student at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA). "Our research identified region-specific changes in the brain`s blood vessels, including an increased presence of string vesse...

Carney says ‘who cares’ comment on Trump talks was ‘poor choice of words’ – National

Descrease article font size Increase article font size Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday his recent reply to a question about the state of trade talks with the U.S. — “Who cares?” — amounted to “a poor choice of words.” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hammered the prime minister over his comment during question period in the House of Commons Tuesday.“Before the election he promised ‘elbows up.’ After, it was, ‘Who cares?’ Before the election, he said the tariffs were an ‘existential crisis.’ Now he says they’re not a burning issue,” Poilievre said.“Why is the prime minister before the election so much different than the one after?”Carney walked back the comments he made over the weekend in response.“On the night of the election … I ...

Long pepper compound may aid in treatment of colon cancer: NIT Rourkela

A natural compound found in long pepper can be an effective and cost-efficient agent against colon cancer cells, said researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela on Tuesday. Colon cancer is a disease in which the cells grow uncontrollably in the large intestine of the body, forming a tumour. It is one of the most common types of cancer globally. According to the World Health Organization, in 2022, nearly 1.9 million new cases and almost 900,000 deaths occurred due to colon cancer. While various international cancer research studies have examined natural molecules’ activity towards a variety of cancers, the team at NIT Rourkela conducted a set of laboratory experiments to demonstrate the activity of Piperlongumine -- a natural compound -- as an alternative to chemo...

9 Alberta government MLAs are facing recall efforts. What’s going on?

A growing number of recall efforts against sitting MLAs in Alberta is raising pressure on Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservative Party. Elections Alberta on Monday approved recall petitions for six more UCP caucus members, bringing the total number of MLAs facing potential removal to nine.The group includes members of Smith’s cabinet and the Speaker of the Alberta legislature.Although the petitioners face an uphill battle to successfully get the MLAs removed from office, the fact it’s happening at this volume speaks to the populist groundswell in Alberta and around the world, political experts say, combined with anger at Smith’s government in particular.It may also make other jurisdictions think twice about following in the footsteps of Alberta and B.C., which are the only two provin...

Who is Steve Outhouse, Pierre Poilievre’s new campaign manager? – National

Pierre Poilievre has tapped a veteran Conservative campaigner to help steer the party through the next federal election. Steve Outhouse, an affable Nova Scotian with deep roots in the federal Conservatives as well as provincial Tory parties, will serve as Poilievre’s campaign manager in the next federal campaign. It will be Outhouse’s first time running the national campaign.Outhouse replaces Jenni Byrne, who publicly announced in August she would not continue in the role after last April’s election loss. Byrne told Global News Monday that she will remain as an adviser to both Poilievre and the party, and that she has spoken to Outhouse.He joins Poilievre’s team at an interesting time for the party — still polling near 40 per cent support, but lagging behind the Liberals. Poilievre has als...

Amoebae from Mumbai creek harbour bacteria with high AMR risk

Free-living amoebae in Vashi Creek, a tidal estuary in Mumbai, were found to harbour bacteria which had far higher levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), according to a global study, including researchers from the Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, noted that the amoebae are acting as a ‘Trojan horse’ harbouring and protecting multidrug-resistant bacteria. Nearly half of the bacteria in the amoeba were resistant to four or more antibiotics, rising to six or more in 22 per cent of the samples. In marked contrast, the same level of resistance was found in only 0.6 per cent of samples derived from the sediment. While they are normally predators of bacteria, amoebae could serve as “sentinel indicators” ...
