...times as likely. As scientists have long known, as belly fat--which disrupts body chemistry more than less reactive fat elsewhere on the body--increases, blood glucose rises along with it. Some of Small's most recent animal studies show that rising glucose levels in turn disrupt the function of the dentate gyrus. That doesn't draw a straight and conclusive line between waistline and memory, but it does suggest one. "It's possible," Small says, "that blood glucose, which tends to drift upward as we get older, is one of the main contributors to age-related memory decline...
...inspired by the bird life of Murano, the Venetian island famed for its glassware. The three decanters boast an avian grace: the Swan's swooping body, the Flamingo's long slender neck and the Paloma's dove-like curves. And as with any Riedel product, they are masterpieces of function as well as form. Exposing wine to oxygen for a few hours before pouring can improve its taste (thanks to a chemical reaction known as aeration), so each of the $480 decanters has been shaped to maximize a wine's contact with the air as you empty the bottle into...
...scientists were quite adamant about wanting to have a rooftop bar,” Gordon said, speaking above the merriment. “So in all of our environmental plans, you’ll see a ‘function room,’ but if you know the code that’s actually...
Researchers from Mass. General Hospital and the Harvard University Health Services have found that intense exercise can significantly change the function and structure of the heart...
...College-UHS Advisory Committee, said she hopes the survey would identify key issues for UHS and improve individual health care experiences by fostering more communication between health services and students. Currently, UHS gets student feedback from a patient advocate and paper surveys in their offices. There is also a function on the UHS Web site that allows students to enter comments for the patient advocate electronically. Barreira said that the preexisting feedback mechanisms would remain in place along with the survey. “This doesn’t preclude students calling at any time for any reason...
