It is possible to prevent or delay dementia

By changing risk factors like those from tobacco smoking, alcohol abuse, social isolation, lack of physical activity, air pollution and other conditions (called "noncommunicable" or NCDs, including high blood pressure and diabetes) it is possible to prevent or delay over forty-five percent of dementia cases, at least according to international health organizations which highlight that dementia is the seventh leading cause of death among older people worldwide and one of the main causes of disability and dependence on help from others. Fifty-seven million people are living with dementia globally and there are almost ten million new diagnoses each year with Alzheimer's being the most common in sixty to seventy percent of cases, creating a significant burden for the families of the patient and generally for everyone.

Floods in Texas and fires in Canada

There are reportedly two victims in Texas Hill Country in an area that was already hit by severe flooding last year, with over two hundred people rescued by officials using boats and helicopters; authorities also warn that more heavy rainfall is expected so the danger isn't over. Unlike last year more information was provided about the rapid rise of the Guadalupe River advising residents to move to higher ground. As for Canada thousands of people have had to leave their homes in northwest Ontario due to fast-spreading wildfires, particularly affecting the Collins First Nation community with homes and buildings destroyed, there are significant issues overall due to poor air quality from smoke traveling long distances, and visibility is also low.

Bad weather in some Italy regions with damage and disruptions

Strong thunderstorms have hit some regions due to high temperatures and the resulting energy accumulated in the atmosphere from an African heatwave that is still affecting the whole country (with peaks well above forty degrees in Sardinia). There is talk of one victim in Emilia Romagna region due to weather-related causes and disruptions for the population, as well as damage like roofs being blown off, overturned cars and uprooted trees. To report switching topics but staying on environmental issues there is concern about the storage conditions of thousands of barrels containing radioactive waste in the northeastern Atlantic from European countries, about six hundred kilometers east of the French coast at a depth of over four thousand meters on the seabed and cemented; indeed, limited traces of radioactivity have been detected that require monitoring.

Testing an antiviral against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola

A first clinical trial of an antiviral to prevent the spread of the Bundibugyo strain of the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo has reportedly been announced by international health organizations. Reports mention a death toll rising to seven hundred people with nearly two thousand infected; however, the outbreak could be four times larger than the official numbers and there's concern that infections could spread under the radar. Ninety percent of Ebola cases have been recorded in the mineral-rich Ituri province in the northeast of the country, where the first deaths occurred in mid-May, then some highlight the lack of resources to handle the outbreak and cases outside the traced contact list with unclear transmission chains and people dying without reaching a healthcare facility.

Deforestation in the Amazon is decreasing

According to data provided by Brazilian authorities on deforestation in the Amazon, it appears that the lowest level in a decade has been reached, about thirty-eight percent less than last year when comparing satellite views, with proposals to commit to eradicating illegal deforestation by 2030; but this doesn't mean the situation is very reassuring right now, since from January to June trees have been cut down to make way for agricultural practices in an area (almost thirteen hundred square kilometers) nearly twice the size of New York. The rainforest stores large amounts of carbon and plays a role in regulating the climate; for example, when talking about the decrease in deforestation, the Cerrado is also mentioned, a savannah in the southern Amazon rich in healthy biodiversity.

Wildfires in France and Italy

A fire in the Fontainebleau forest south of Paris (sixty kilometers southeast) burned about eight hundred hectares of vegetation, the flames spread unusually fast, helped by high temperatures during yet another heatwave in the country; then there were also traffic problems with a partial closure of a very busy highway during the summer holidays. About fifteen houses were evacuated in the village of Vaudoue with firefighters working to prevent the fire from reaching other settlements. In Italy seven to eight hundred hectares of vegetation burned in Piedmont, and in Ossola there was serious damage to biodiversity in Val Grande Park with two hundred hectares of forest destroyed. To report changing the subject but still on environmental issues that recently in eastern China authorities evacuated nearly two million people and suspended transport for a typhoon, then without casualties.

A tropical storm lashes southern China

There are said to be thirty-nine victims, nine missing and many evacuations due to flooding in Guangxi in southern China caused by a tropical storm, most of the victims are due to a dam cracking in the city of Nanning; then another storm is approaching, which will affect the area north of Taiwan (islands home to twenty-three million people) and the east coast of China. During floods in China as often happens in these circumstances rescuers had to use inflatable boats to help people in trouble, and there are reports of people being swept away by water on streets almost turned into rivers. To report on a different note, but still on natural events yet another heatwave is expected for Italy with temperature peaks around forty degrees Celsius for example in Sardinia and parts of Sicily.

Forest fire in Andalusia in Spain

At least twelve people are reported dead, nineteen missing and over one thousand people displaced due to a forest fire near Los Gallardos in a municipality of Almeria, it is the most serious fire in a decade in Andalusia in terms of human casualties; there are reports of people trapped in their cars as the rapidly advancing flames surrounded them and smoke has hampered traffic on many roads even causing congestion on a highway. The fall of a power line seems to be the triggering cause of the fire, at least according to initial investigations, then the rather dry vegetation helped the flames spread quickly. To report on a related note but staying with natural events a cloudburst in India caused a pile of accumulated waste which had formed almost like a small hill to collapse in the city of Pimpri Chinchvad resulting in at least three deaths and some missing people.

Architectures designed to mitigate heat waves

To cope with increasingly frequent and prolonged heat waves it will be necessary to design houses, apartment buildings and entire neighborhoods with architectural criteria that can help keep temperatures down; in France in Montpellier apartments without air conditioning with white façades featuring numerous Middle Eastern-style curves almost always managed not to exceed twenty-five degrees Celsius. Not as successful in Bordeaux apparently is the design of houses in a new neighborhood that turned into ovens during the forty-degree heat wave. Generally in many cities there aren't enough green spaces and buildings too close together tend to trap heat; so ventilation should be encouraged in addition to using natural and eco-friendly insulating materials in construction.

Summer affective disorder caused by climate change

Usually the affective disorder with disorders in the hygiene of sleep, appetite, in social relationships occur in some people predominantly in winter, but according to the researchers with climate change these disorders can also happen in summer acting on circadian rhythms (regulatory cycles based on light, position of the Sun and Moon, on biological variables .. with reference sinusoid characteristics). In general in winter more sleep is tended to be asleep, to exceed with nutrition, to have less contact, while insomnia, reduced appetite, anxiety, irritability and agitation prevail in summer; in fact, mood disregulation can lead to sleep disturbances and affect the release of hormones, then in particular extreme heat would be responsible for mood and mental crises. Situations however often manageable with training techniques aimed at treating the individual disorder.

Fires in France, Spain, Portugal and Greece

A new heat wave is affecting Spain with temperature peaks of forty-three degrees Celsius reached in Andalusia and Extremadura and is moving towards France favoring the fires also given the condition of dry climate; there is talk of a fire in the south of the country (Pyrenees-Orientales on the borders of Spain) to the detriment of vegetation with about ten thousand people evacuated, then there were problems for the proper conduct of a well-known cycling race. European authorities have sent firefighting aircraft from Cyprus and Sweden to put out the flames in coordination with the French firefighters of Perpignan engaged in difficult conditions also because of the wind that fuels the fires and there were five injured. High attention in much of Portugal for fire risk and not much better the situation in Greece struggling with dozens of fires.

Pirates in jacket and necktie

By now the traditional image of the pirates organizes in groups from corsairs armed of guns and knives to the cingula have yielded the step to the new predator dressed in jacket and necktie that is annoying the web (bandits that unload entire site and they identify the protection keys, steal the symbols, musics..), even with one name of all security that hides the deceit to before the tacking of click. As an example writing "salutary.eu" on a famous search engine between the entrance connections to the site www.salutistico.it, others do not authorize links appear between which also one to those in order to unload freewares, but that practically they turn out to payment through Dialer. Attention to the pirates, exploratory of the web Internet, sails in sure waters; in fact the Demo of the program "Well-being Body - Mind - Soul" deposited that it enjoys all the copyrights can unload free from my salutary.eu Internet site or salutary.eu compiling the appropriate card of recording (and subsequently with relative password communicated) and I dissociate myself from the use of my software to payment for whichever site different from the mine. To notice unfortunately that also writing "salutistico.it" for the original site, are visualized links truculent or trap. - Lately is disappeared the intere site from some search engines.. (that evidently could use the same criteria of selection).
