Researchers including those from&nbsp;Netherlands Cancer Institute have identified a potential new organ in the human throat while conducting research on prostate cancer.&nbsp;
They claim to have&nbsp;discovered a new set of salivary glands around 1.5 inch in length while scanning for prostate cancer cells.&nbsp;
Noting their findings in the journal&nbsp;of Radiotherapy and Oncology, the researchers explain that the newly-found glands most likely&nbsp;lubricate the upper throat behind the nose and mouth.&nbsp;
The researchers examined over 100 patients to confirm their findings and found that all of them had the glands.

A doctor couple in Kerala, Dr. Regi Jose and Dr Paul Augustine along with some others developed a tool that may be able to assess the risk of breast cancer in a woman.
The risk calculator works by providing a score when the person answers a list of 7 questions. It may help women determine the frequency and kind of medical screening they need in order to get diagnosed in time.
To develop the calculator, they used statistical modelling.&nbsp;The calculator takes into account factors like age, history of breast feeding, age at menarche among other parameters.

October 20 is marked as World Osteoporosis Day and the aim is to raise awareness on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Osteoporosis currently affects about 50 million Indians but most cases go undiagnosed and undetected.
According to the studies conducted among women in India across the country, it is estimated that among the 230 million Indians expected to be over the age of 50 years,&nbsp;46 million are women with osteoporosis.
The disease weakens bones making them porous that even mild stress like bending may lead to a fracture.&nbsp;
Numerous factors could be responsible for the condition, including ageing, genetics, arthritis, sedentary lifestyle and deficiency of calcium and vitamin D.
Here's a list of foods that you can include in your diet, to&nbsp;nurse your bones to good health!
You need sufficient&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;to strengthen your bones and&nbsp;vitamin D&nbsp;to help your body absorb calcium.
&nbsp;
Good sources of calcium include,&nbsp;milk, cheese and other dairy foods,&nbsp;green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage and okra,&nbsp;soya beans, tofu,&nbsp;nuts,&nbsp;bread and anything made with fortified flour and even&nbsp;fish where you eat the bones.
 Good sources of vitamin D include,&nbsp;oily fish, such as salmon and sardines mackerel,&nbsp;eggs,&nbsp;fortified fat spreads and&nbsp;fortified breakfast cereals.
In addition, having a diet rich in protein may also help strengthen the bones. Gorge on nuts, legumes and soy if you're looking for a protein-rich diet.
Along with a healthy diet, exercise helps build stronger bones. Whether its strength training or weight exercises, they will help improve bone and muscle strength in the long run.

In a new 'milestone' study, researchers from Trinity College Dublin have found that bottle-fed babies could be ingesting millions of microplastics&nbsp;a day.&nbsp;It brings to light the intensity of the plastic problem.
They found that the usual&nbsp;high-temperature process for sterilising plastic bottles and preparing formula milk for babies caused the bottle to shed millions of microplastics&nbsp;and nanoplastics.
Experts suggest replacing plastic with alternatives like glass bottles for feeding and developing tough coatings to prevent plastic shedding.

Ukrainian fitness influencer&nbsp;Dmitriy Stuzhuk, who told his followers on social media that Covid-19 does not exist, has died of the virus at 33 years old.&nbsp;His ex-wife Sophia, another influencer, confirmed the news of his death from the deadly virus on her personal Instagram.&nbsp;
Stuzhuk, a fitness expert with 1.1 million followers on Instagram,&nbsp;shared the news of him catching the virus just four days ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sharing pictures from his hospital bed, he wrote that during a recent trip to Turkey, he showed some symptoms and got tested when he got back home.&nbsp;
"I was one who thought that Covid does not exist&hellip; until I got sick,&rdquo; he said in his Instagram post.

The coronavirus remains active on human skin for as long as nine hours, a new research by Japanese scientists, published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases claims.&nbsp;In contrast, the flu-causing pathogen survives on human skin for about 1.8 hours, the study said.
SARS-CoV-2's ability to survive for 9 hours on human skin may enhance the risk of contact transmission. The flu virus and the coronavirus are inactivated within 15 seconds of applying ethanol, found in santizers, they claimed.
Backing World Health Organisation's advice, the study concluded by adding that hand hygiene&nbsp;may reduce the risk, and stressed on the need to wash hands frequently to combat Covid-19.

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan&nbsp;on Friday announced that India is on its way to eliminate trans fats from its supply chain completely by 2022.&nbsp;
Speaking at a FSSAI&nbsp;event to commemorate World Food Day, Vardhan&nbsp;said, 'Trans fat is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). And eliminating CVD risk factor is especially relevant during Covid-19.'&nbsp;
A food toxin present in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) (e.g. vanaspati, shortening, margarine, etc.), baked and fried foods, trans fat is a major contributor to the rise in non-communicable diseases in India.

15th of October is commemorated as Global Handwashing&nbsp;Day every year and this time, the day is more significant than it ever was, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The day aims to spread awareness and sensitise people about the importance of washing hands regularly with soap and water. People all over the world must recognise handwashing as an important technique to wade off diseases.&nbsp;
The theme this year focuses on 'Hand Hygiene for All&rsquo;, aiming to attain universal hand hygiene amid the pandemic.&nbsp;

Children will not be amongst the first to receive the Covid-19 vaccine, once it becomes available, according to the US&nbsp;Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As of now, children have not been tested for any experimental Covid-19 vaccine.The CDC&nbsp;noted that only non-pregnant adults have been included in early clinical trials of the vaccine.&nbsp;
As clinical trials expand in the future, the recommended groups too could change, the CDC&nbsp;adds.

An American survey has found that alcohol consumption is falling out of favour amongst young adults aged 18-22. Conducted twice, the survey discovered that 'teetotalism' or the practice of abstaining from alcohol rose from 20% in 2002 to 28% in 2018.&nbsp;
However, researchers report that cannabis use has replaced youngsters' thirst for hard drinks. More people are opting for marijuana and co-using marijuana and alcohol, the survey published in JAMA Paediatrics found. Researchers noted that despite this their findings suggest a positive trend as misuse is reported less but urged to keep a watch on co-using habits.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In a major trial to test whether vitamin D could protect against Covid-19, researchers from the&nbsp;Queen Mary University&nbsp;of London, are looking for over 5,000 volunteers to join the study.
The study aims to assess whether risks of the novel coronavirus can be reduced by correcting vitamin D deficiencies in people especially in the winter months when people are more susceptible to respiratory illnesses.
The volunteers do not need to step out of their homes, vitamin D supplements would be sent to their homes via post.&nbsp;
If proven effective, vitamin D could aid the fight against the deadly novel coronavirus.&nbsp;

In what could be a radical move, Australia may force people to buy cigarettes with a prescription or from pharmacies and medical stores, in an effort to curb the habit of smoking.&nbsp;
The ambitious initiative is being tested&nbsp;by a new centre at the&nbsp;University of Queensland. The Centre for Research Excellence on Achieving the Tobacco Endgame (CREATE) is exploring strategies to reduce the number of tobacco retailers and restricting sales to particular suppliers.
The centre has also proposed banning sale to&nbsp;everyone born after a certain year and phasing out commercial cigarette sales for good.

Cloth masks may reduce the risk of transmission of viruses, like the one causing Covid-19, only if washed every day at high temperatures, a new study from the University of New South Wales in Australia claims.
The researchers stated that both cloth and surgical masks must be considered contaminated after use. For the study, published in the journal BMJ Open, data from a randomised controlled trial from 2015 was analysed.
While they did not test for SARS-CoV-2, they included other respiratory pathogens like rhinoviruses, seasonal coronaviruses and influenza.
The researchers&nbsp;did not advice handwashing the masks, instead the study backed WHO's recommendation of machine washing the masks in hot water at 60 degrees celsius.

In a rush to publish, the coronavirus&nbsp;pandemic has lead to a surge in substandard studies being shared online with fewer quality checks, says a leading medical ethicist&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Journal of Medical Ethics.
Since the appearance on Covid-19, at least 4,000 medical papers about the virus have been published, many of which have later been retracted, withdrawn, or tagged with an 'expression of concern.'&nbsp;
And as of 31 July 2020, 19 published articles and 14 pre-prints about COVID-19 have been retracted, many of them from Asia and more than half from Chinese labs.
'Patient harm that is significant, permanent and irreversible could result from using faulty research results from pre-prints as well as published papers,'&nbsp;wrote Professor Katrina Bramstedt&nbsp;of&nbsp;Bond University.&nbsp;

A first-of-its kind survey, conducted between January and December of 2019 answers questions about what a typical 24-hour day looks like in an Indian's life.&nbsp; The main aim of the survey conducted by the&nbsp;National Statistical office was to assess the&nbsp;paid and&nbsp;unpaid activities both in rural and urban areas.
The results will help in policy assessment across various departments. The survey showed that in rural areas, males aged 6 years and older, spent an average of&nbsp;9.23 hours sleeping and "related activities&rdquo;.&nbsp;While females spent a little longer, that is 9.28 hours sleeping. In urban areas, males spent 8.9 hours in sleep and females spent&nbsp;9.2 hours sleeping and in other related activities.&nbsp;

Researchers have found evidence of&nbsp;air pollution particles,&nbsp; linked to&nbsp;Alzheimer&rsquo;s and Parkinson&rsquo;s disease-related damage, in the brain stems of young people.
With 90% of the world living in polluted air, the discovery&nbsp;could&nbsp;have far-reaching impacts on global populations, if future research can confirm the findings.&nbsp;
While experts remain cautious of the findings, previous studies have confirmed that&nbsp;air pollution exposure increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.&nbsp;
Published in the journal Environmental Research, scientists noted that pervasive, 'airborne and environmental&nbsp;nanoparticles may be a common signifier of neurodegenerative&nbsp;pathologies affecting urban-dwellers from&nbsp;their earliest childhood.'

World Mental Health Day is commemorated every year on the 10th of October.&nbsp;
This time, it falls in the middle of a global pandemic and talking about mental health couldn't&nbsp;be more appropriate than it is now.
The Covid-19 pandemic has wreaked&nbsp;havoc on the mental health of thousands of people across the globe.
World Mental Health Day aims to raise awareness about mental health issues, deal with the stigma that is often attached to mental health and bust myths associated with the same.
This year, the&nbsp;World Federation for Mental Health urges everyone to invest increasingly in mental health, focusing on the theme 'Mental Health for All: Greater Investment &ndash; Greater Access'.
&nbsp;

A new finding from&nbsp;Australia's national science agency CSIRO&nbsp;has&nbsp;revealed that the Covid-19 virus can remain active on cash, phone screens and stainless steel surfaces for 28 days!
Their study showed that the virus was 'extremely robust', surviving for 28 days on glass and other smooth surfaces when in room temperature. On cloth, the virus seemed to last for a shorter period of time.
On the other hand, the flu virus can survive in the same scenario for 17 days.
The study, which was published in&nbsp;Virology Journal, further showed that the&nbsp;SARS-Cov-2 survived for less time at hotter temperatures.
