Link

A new study has found abnormal brain structures in the frontal lobe of cocaine users’ brains that are associated to their compulsive cocaine-using behaviour.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge led by Karen Ersche scanned the brains of 120 people, half of whom had a dependence on cocaine.

They found that the cocaine users had widespread loss of grey matter that was directly related to the duration of their cocaine abuse (i.e. the longer they had been using cocaine, the greater the loss of grey matter), and that this reduction in volume was associated with greater compulsivity to take cocaine.

Connecticut wants Facebook meeting over privacy


Connecticut’s Attorney General is concerned over Facebook’s use of facial recognition technology to identify users and has requested a meeting with Facebook officials to discuss ways to alleviate those concerns.

Attorney General George Jepsen said in a letter to Facebook earlier this week that the world’s No. 1 Internet social network appeared to have overlooked consumer privacy by analyzing the faces in photographs posted on the website and cataloging the recognition.

The new feature uses facial recognition software to identify Facebook users in photographs, links the photograph with the user’s name and stores the information in the company’s database without the user being notified. Prior to this change, users had to manually tag others in photos, and those identified were then notified of the tag.

One factor seems to be how much control employees have over the demands associated with their respective jobs. “Pressure by itself wasn’t a key factor,” says Marmot. “It’s a combination of high demands and low control.” That combination—often found in lower-ranking, lower-paying jobs—is associated with an earlier death, and also with cardiovascular disease, mental health problems, sleep issues,

Weight-loss surgery ups bone fracture risk


If you are struggling with a significant weight problem and looking for a permanent weight loss solution, we can help. We understand the many physical, emotional and psychological issues that are caused by obesity.

Severe obesity is being increasingly recognized as a major health threat. Obesity becomes “morbid” when it reaches the point of significantly increasing the risk of development of other medical illnesses & even shortening of life span. Morbid obesity is a chronic disease, meaning that symptoms build slowly over a period of time. Diet and exercise alone are seldom effective in controlling this problem. It has become increasingly clear that those with morbid obesity may not be able to get their weight under significant control on their own without surgery.

Since then, the eating of earth has been reported on every continent. Some researchers think geophagy is simply a consequence of food shortage.
