Discover The Amazing Effects Of Pets On Human Health

Long-term scientific observations over people and pets showed that pets in most cases have a significant impact on their owners, changing them out of all recognition. Moreover, the nature of the changes largely depends on what kind of animal dwells in your house. Scientists agree on only one thing: four-footed pets make a person more responsible, calm and happy.

For many people cats, dogs and other fauna are full family members who feel all the conditions of their owner: joy, grief or nervousness. Animals often become domestic healers, saving people from various diseases. Let's analyze the influence of pets on our body and life.

Health Report: Discover The Amazing Effects Of Pets On Human Health

Cats

Cats are the most common pets. These wonderful fluffy creatures can take the heat off and lower blood pressure. In addition, they contribute to the prevention of myocardial infarction, hypertension and stroke. Their purr is called ultrasound treatment. It’s believed that the sounds that they emit help a person relax after a hard working day, relieve tension, get rid of depressed mood. Also purring helps to accelerate wound healing and increase bone density. Cats produce a positive effect in the treatment of visceral diseases, as well as relieve radicular, osteochondrosis and arthritis pain.

Also, it has been found when looking for a human mate online, try this little trick. Choose an avatar or a picture of yourself with a cat, when posting a personal dating ad on the internet, and this will significantly increase you the chance to meet a single lady.

Dogs

A dog is a true friend who brings happiness and joy, which means that a good mood will be present at your house all year round. Since dogs need constant walks, people who keep them practically don’t suffer from hypodynamia, blood pressure changes, insomnia and migraine. In addition, when walking, a person takes the air, actively moves, and therefore burns extra calories.

To get rid of spasms, a person needs to pat a four-footed friend only 5 minutes. Dog's saliva contains a natural antibiotic lysozyme, which has a positive effect on the healing of wounds, burns and scratches. Dog hair also has wonderful properties, for example, woolen belts save a person from joint diseases.

Aquarium Fish

Observation of aquarium fish relieves stress. That's why doctors usually advise people suffering neuroses and depression to buy an aquarium. Also, aquarium fish evoke feelings of joy and well-being, contribute to increase in the intelligence level, help avoid serious life mistakes and even strengthen family relations. But there's more to come! The aquarium perfectly adjusts microclimate, and evaporating water moistens the air, makes it useful and easy to breathe, which is extremely important for the prevention of asthma and colds.

Rodents

Communication with them helps insecure people to overcome asociality, defeat complexes and stage fright. In addition, hamsters, mice and rabbits treat joint diseases, and white rats "specialize" in neuroses.

Birds

Winged friends spiritualize and soothe a person, charge with cheerfulness and optimism. Watch the birds - and you will see that they never lose heart and constantly busy with something.

Bird watching relaxes and saves from emotional disruptions. Melodious singing has a beneficial effect on the psyche and helps prepare for sleep.

Children and Pets

The presence of pets also affects children. It is established that in a house where there are animals, children are less likely to suffer from colds and allergic reactions, but sometimes they have an allergy to the pet's fur, which negatively affects the health of the child. In addition, four-footed friends help kids find spiritual harmony, children grow more sociable and equable.

Therefore, people who don’t imagine living together with pets should first of all think about the benefits they bring to us and our loved ones.

Timely vaccination is important for earliest protection but individuals may miss vaccination for a variety of reasons. No one should miss out on the right to the protection that vaccines offer, simply because they are not able to access services in time. The World Health Organization recommends that all national immunization programmes have a catch-up vaccination strategy to be implemented on an ongoing basis. This guidance summarizes global recommendations and operational implications for establishing or refining a catch-up vaccination policy and catch-up schedule as an essential part of a well-functioning immunization programme. More information: Guidance in English, French, and Portuguese can be found at: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240016514. Additional WHO resources for catch-up vaccination are available at https://www.who.int/teams/immunization-vaccines-and-biologicals/essential-programme-on-immunization/implementation/catch-up-vaccination.

Assessment of Bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease using Video-Based Pose Estimation
Play Video: Assessment of Bradykinesia in Parkinson’s Disease using Video-Based Pose Estimation


Co-Authors: Jan Stenum, PhD Alexander Pantelyat, MD Ryan Roemmich, PhD Objectives: Repetitive motion is an important part of many neurologic exams like the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) for persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Bradykinesia is a prevalent symptom in persons with PD, and the UPDRS tests this via observational assessment of repetitive movements. Bradykinesia is typically evaluated subjectively in the clinic via visual observation by a movement disorders neurologist, but computer vision offers an opportunity for remote and objective assessments. Design: We evaluated a pose estimation approach for measuring movement frequency in persons with PD from smartphone videos. We used 48 videos of the UPDRS done on 22 individuals with PD. The videos were segmented into portions containing two repetitive motion tasks: finger tapping (FT) and hand opening and closing (HOC). Tasks were scored by a neurologist and given UPDRS subscores from 0-4 (no symptoms to severe symptoms). We used a workflow that included Google MediaPipe (a freely available pose estimation algorithm) to estimate movement frequency and compared that to ground-truth manual measurements. Results: The means of the manually calculated and Mediapipe frequency for the FT tasks were 4.37±0.89 and 4.03±0.98 Hz, respectively. The means of the manually calculated and Mediapipe frequency for the HOC task were 2.98±0.88 and 2.66±0.75 Hz, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the manual and Mediapipe calculations for both movements showed strong positive correlations (0.74, 0.61). These results suggest that pose estimation is a promising tool to provide accurate assessments of upper limb bradykinesia in PD. Conclusions: As this is a preliminary analysis, we restricted our analysis to the FT and HOC tasks, but we plan to include the remaining bradykinesia items in future work.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation: 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2024, an estimated 310,720 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. An estimated 42,250 U.S. women will die from breast cancer in 2024. In this month’s podcast, moderator, nurse and two-time breast cancer survivor, Lillie Shockney, sits down with medical oncologist Dr. Channing Paller, associate director of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to discuss her study showing that natural compounds derived from soy and other plants can reduce breast cancer recurrence and improve survival.
