New and Unexpected Benefits of Turmeric - Jordan News
New and Unexpected Benefits of Turmeric Wastewater can become a true breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant bacteria—but natural compounds like curcumin from turmeric and emodin from rhubarb may help combat them. اضافة اعلان According to the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, the use of antibiotics can have unexpected consequences—not only for the human body but also for the environment. As is well known, some medications are excreted through urine and feces and end up in sewage systems, where they create ideal conditions for the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A scientific team led by Dr. Liwen Hao from the University of Utah discovered multiple strains of bacteria resistant to various antibiotics in wastewater treatment plants in the state. While these microbes rarely cause illness in healthy individuals, they can transfer resistance genes to more dangerous pathogens such as E. coli (Escherichia coli). Moreover, researchers found strains resistant even to colistin, an antibiotic considered a last-resort treatment for severe infections. One particular strain, labeled U2, had the highest number of resistance genes and did not respond to any of the antibiotics tested. To fight these superbugs, scientists tested 11 natural compounds known for their antimicrobial properties. Curcumin (from turmeric) and emodin (from rhubarb) showed the most promising results—inhibiting cell growth, preventing biofilm formation, and reducing bacterial activity. Dr. Hao stated: 'These substances could be integrated into environmentally friendly wastewater treatment methods.' However, researchers stressed that further testing is essential before these compounds can be applied in real-world wastewater facilities. Additional studies are needed to evaluate interactions with other substances and to assess their impact on microbial communities. —

How to Recognize Concussion in Time
Moscow - (Saba): Russian doctor Georgy Tishkin points out that a concussion requires mandatory medical attention. However, not everyone seeks medical help, especially when the symptoms are not obvious. The Russian doctor, as reported by and cited by Russia Today, explains the signs to watch for and how to avoid complications. According to him, people often underestimate this injury, attributing the symptoms to fatigue or stress. However, failure to diagnose and treat it promptly can lead to serious health consequences. The doctor notes that concussion is not always accompanied by loss of consciousness or obvious external damage, so he advises paying attention to the following signs: headache that does not go away even after rest; nausea or vomiting not related to eating; dizziness, coordination problems, or "fog" in the head; photophobia and phonophobia, where even familiar household sounds or dim light become disturbing; memory impairment—difficulty remembering the moment of injury or concentrating; Emotional changes - unexplained anxiety, crying, and sudden mood swings. He says, "If these symptoms appear after a blow to the head, a fall, or a car accident, don't delay seeing a doctor, because even a mild concussion requires close monitoring." According to him, failure to receive timely treatment can lead to long-term complications that appear months or even years later. These include: post-traumatic encephalopathy - a chronic brain disorder that causes decreased concentration, hand tremors, and slowed thinking; chronic migraines that are difficult to treat; vascular disorders - high blood pressure, weather sensitivity, and insomnia; and psychological disorders - depression, panic attacks, and emotional instability. The Russian doctor points out that the risk of complications is particularly high in children, the elderly, and those who have suffered repeated injuries. Therefore, if someone suspects a concussion, they should consult a neurologist for a proper examination and prescription of appropriate treatment, as a concussion is not just a bruise, but an injury that requires timely treatment to avoid complications.
