First line of defense Long considered the largest organ in the body, the skin’s microbiome plays an important role as the body’s first line of defense against pathogens. When the skin barrier is functioning properly, it traps moisture and keeps skin hydrated, while keeping allergens, irritants, pollution, and pathogens out. Stress hormones weaken that protective layer, slowing the production of beneficial oils that help seal hydration in the skin, leading to chronic low-grade inflammation and an increase in free radicals. can damage the skin and accelerate the aging process as well as increase the risk of allergic diseases. “Night of Recovery” Take a close look at your skin care regimen, especially some of the anti-aging products you’re using. According to Dr. Bowe, some of the most powerful skincare ingredients known to have amazing effects on the skin are proven irritants. Retinoids, for example, including over-the-counter retinol, are products that can irritate your skin, especially if you use them every night. Alpha hydroxy acid or glycolic acid is a great ingredient to help lighten dark spots, even out skin tone, and help promote collagen production, but it can also be an irritant. You can continue to use those products, says Dr. Bowe, but alternate between an “active night” and a “recovery night.” “Active night” means that for your nighttime skincare regimen, use anti-aging solutions like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, or glycolic acid — prescription or over-the-counter — and then skip it. a night or two, depending on how dry your skin is. For “recovery night,” says Dr. Bowe, you should use products containing glycerin, sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil, or squalane to repair the skin barrier and support the skin’s microbiome. and restore a healthy pH to the skin. Sensitive skin How to recognize sensitive skin? Start by washing your face and patting it dry. If you feel tight, dry and if you feel burning or suddenly appear small pimples like red pimples all over your face when applying cosmetics to your skin, this means your skin is sensitive. For sensitive skin, you should avoid cleaning products that contain strong sulfates such as SLS, sodium lauryl sulfate or SLES (short for sodium laureth sulfate). In addition, you should not exfoliate with a physical brush or a rotating brush. Because such an action is really harmful to the skin barrier and makes your skin more sensitive. Many women shave their faces these days, which is also not a good idea if you have sensitive skin. You should also be careful with essential oils as they can irritate and further damage the skin barrier. Sugar control Dr. Rajani Katta, author of “Glow: A Dermatologist’s Guide to a Whole Foods Diet for Younger Skin” (Glow: The Dermatologist’s Guide to a Whole Foods Younger), Stress, many people tend to prefer foods containing sugar and processed carbohydrates. However, this can have a negative effect on your skin, making the collagen and elastin proteins less supple and the skin more likely to wrinkle. Dr. Rajani Katta suggests that foods rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties can help provide an extra layer of protection to your skin, as well as boost your skin’s defense and repair system. Try stress management techniques – Taking part in social activities, increasing social interaction or simply going for a walk is also a great way to relieve stress. Exercise also pushes oxygenated blood to all parts of your body, including your skin, which can promote skin barrier repair. – Get enough and good sleep: this is called good sleep because sleep helps regenerate your skin at night.

From April to now, Alpha has become the dominant strain in the US. Alpha’s superiority made scientists wonder why this virus strain spread so quickly. Recently, a study published online on June 7 was New York Times The quote has found the “secret of success” of this mutation: Alpha disables the first immune “stronghold” gland in the human body, giving the virus more time to multiply when it enters the body. up quickly. The Alpha mutation once made the UK crippled. Photo: Reuters. “Turn off the bell” alert Alpha has a total of 23 mutations – what sets it apart from other coronavirus strains. When this strain began to spread widely in the UK, researchers began examining the genetic sequence to look for an explanation of why it spread faster than other strains. Many researchers focused on nine mutations that change the proteins that coat the coronavirus and allow them to enter cells. One of those mutations helps the virus bind more closely to these cells, increasing the likelihood of successful infection. But other scientists focus on how Alpha affects the human immune response. Virologist Gregory Towers and colleagues at University College London cultured the coronavirus in human lung cells. They compared cells infected with Alpha with those infected with previous variants of the coronavirus. The team found that alpha-containing lung cells produced less interferon. Interferon is a protein produced naturally by cells in the immune system. They also found that in cells with Alpha, defense genes activated by interferon were less effective than in cells infected with other strains. Somehow, the most important “alarm bell” of the immune system barely “sounds” in the presence of the Alpha variant. “It becomes almost invisible (when it enters the human body),” Dr. Towers said. The UK has to impose strict restrictions because the strain B.1.1.7 spreads quickly. Photo: LBC. To find out how Alpha achieves this “invisibility,” the researchers looked at how the coronavirus replicates inside infected cells. They found that Alpha-infected cells made a lot of extra copies – about 80 times more than other variants – of a gene called Orf9b. According to previous research by molecular biologist Nevan Krogan and colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, Orf9b makes a viral protein that attacks Tom70 — a protein needed to release interferon when the virus enters the body. body. From all of these studies, Dr. Krogan concluded that the Alpha variant contained a mutation that produced more Orf9b protein than normal. The Orf9b protein surrounds the Tom70 protein, reducing interferon production. The infected virus is no longer hindered by the immune system, so it rapidly multiplies in the human body. About 12 hours after infection, the immune system starts working again. Therefore, Dr. Towers speculates, people infected with Alpha have a stronger response than those infected with other strains. The virus-laden mucus lingers in both their oral and nasal cavities, making Alpha more contagious than ever. However, Dr. Laurent-Rolle insists more evidence is needed to support this conclusion. For example, scientists have not yet run a standard test to test the amount of the Orf9b protein. Dr. Krogan said he and his colleagues are looking to practice that experiment now. Totally different Dr. Krogan’s group also started similar tests on other strains, including the strain first identified in South Africa, called Beta (B.1.351) and the first identified strain. first in India, called Delta (B.1.617.2). The preliminary results surprised them. Both Beta and Delta reduce interferon in infected cells. But there is no indication that these two strains did so in the same way that Alpha did. Each strain evolved in a different way to control the immune system. Virus mutant particles B.1.1.7 from patient samples in the laboratory. Photo: NIAID. Cecile King, an immunologist at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, stressed that understanding how the virus evades the immune system will help in the development of a Covid-19 vaccine. Vaccines now help the immune system recognize mutated proteins. But research on patients recovering from Covid-19 shows that their immune systems learn to recognize viral proteins, including Orf9b. Some researchers are looking to include the coronavirus protein in a new vaccine. But this process needs care because some proteins reduce immunity. “It’s a pretty complicated process. But if we take a closer look, it might be possible,” Dr. King said.

Chamomile tea is high in antioxidants such as flavonoids, polyphenols, zeaxanthine, and lutein. This tea has anti-fungal, bacterial or inflammatory properties. Can hydrate dry skin, prevent dark spots and protect skin from the risk of UV exposure. If dark circles appear, you can apply chamomile tea bags to your eyes to reduce puffiness. Oolong tea This tea contains antioxidants, helps skin radiant and youthful, treats acne, dark spots, wrinkles. Besides, there are many important minerals such as copper, calcium, potassium, manganese and carotene, and useful vitamins. Illustration. Rooibos tea Rooibos (South African red tea) has a naturally sweet taste with alpha hydroxy acids, zinc content to help maintain skin health and make skin brighter. The antioxidant called superoxide dismutase in rooibos works to neutralize free radicals, slow the appearance of wrinkles and boost skin cell production. Remember, free radicals can be harmful to your body, health and skin if their levels are too high. Kombucha tea Kombucha is made from the fermentation of the fungus of the same name with many beneficial vitamins such as B1, B2, B6, B12 and symbiotic bacteria that help maintain and produce new, healthy cells. In particular, the antioxidants in kombucha can help limit the aging process of cells. In addition, the probiotic bacteria found in this tea promote healthy, glowing skin. Green tea With a cool taste and great health benefits, green tea is a drink that is loved by many people, while also helping to reduce redness, irritation, acne, and moisturizing. Green tea has many anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Vitamin C in tea has the effect of reducing wrinkles, increasing collagen production, reducing dullness. Ingredient B2 can also keep your skin looking younger. This vitamin works to maintain collagen levels, improving skin firmness.

“The new naming does not replace the scientific names of the variants, but can aid in public discussion,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO technical team leader on Covid-19. Other SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest will be labeled with the words “Epsiloon”, “Zeta”, “Eta”, “Theta” and “Iota”. (Artwork: BBC) Under the new system, the British variant (B.1.1.7) is called “Alpha”, the South African variant (B.1.351) is “Beta”, the Brazilian variant (P1) is “Gamma”. The Indian variant B.1.617 is divided into sub-lineages, where the B.1.617.2 variant is called “Delta” and the B.1.617.1 variant is called “Kappa”. Names such as variant B.1.1.7.2 will continue to be used in scientific circles, because of the mutational information their names convey. “Despite their advantages, scientific names can be difficult to say and remember, and easily misinterpreted. As a result, people often refer to variants by the places where they were first discovered, causing stigma and discrimination,” according to the WHO statement. “To avoid this and simplify mass communication, WHO encourages authorities, national media and everyone else to use these new names,” the WHO said. The Greek alphabet has 24 letters and WHO has not yet planned what to do next if all 24 letters are used. According to AFP, “Epsilon”, “Zeta”, “Eta”, “Theta” and “Iota” are names for variants of interest.

WHO technical team leader on Covid-19 Maria Van Kerkhove. Photo: AFP According to the new announcement, WHO will use Greek letters to refer to variants that were first detected in countries such as the UK, South Africa and India. For example, the variant in the UK is called Alpha, in South Africa it is Beta, and in India it is Delta. The full list of names has been published on the WHO website. The Government of India earlier this month criticized the naming of variant B.1.617.2 – first detected in the country last October – as “Indian variant”, despite WHO never officially called it that. “No country should be discriminated against in detecting and reporting variants,” said WHO’s Covid-19 technical team leader Maria Van Kerkhove, “we don’t want to replace scientific names.” available, but only to assist in the transmission of certain information to the general public” If more than 24 variants are officially identified, meaning the system will run out of Greek letters, WHO will announce the new designation. Ms. Van Kerkhove on May 31 also called for close monitoring of variants and sharing of scientific data to help prevent the spread. Over the weekend, Vietnamese health officials warned of a new virus variant, which is believed to be a dangerous combination of two Alpha and Delta variants. While a scientific adviser to the British Government on May 31 said that the country is in the early stages of a third wave of Covid-19 infections, partly due to the Delta variant.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Photo: Reuters As suggested by WHO, the COVID-19 mutation is called “British strain” or B.1.1.7 should be called “Alpha”, while the common mutant strain in South Africa is renamed “Beta” . The two Brazilian strains, called P.1 and P.2, became Gamma and Zeta, respectively, while the two subtypes of the “Indian variant”, B.1.617.1 and B.1.617.2, were called “Kappa” and “Delta”. Two other strains, first reported by the US in March of this year, were assigned the most difficult names to remember, “Epsilon” and “Iota”. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s COVID-19 expert team, stressed that the new names will not replace the scientific name of the strain, because the scientific name is a complex combination of letters and numbers. Instead, the new name will make it easier for people to name variables in public discussions. At the same time, this will help remove the stigma against the country that first discovered the mutation. “No country should be discriminated against for detecting and reporting mutations,” and Van Kerkhove said. WHO List of VOCs of concern. List of Variants of Interest (VOI). In which, the first column is the new name proposed by WHO. The WHO’s new move comes in the context of India’s growing anger when the media calls the B.1.617 virus strain an “Indian variant”. India’s Health Ministry argued last month that the name freely used in the media was “misleading” because it was not a name designated by the WHO. Earlier, in February, Professor Salim Abdool Karim, then co-chair of South Africa’s Ministerial Advisory Committee on COVID-19, told CNN in an interview to stop calling the virus spreading. in his country is the “South African variant.” Instead, call it by its scientific name: 501Y.V2. The politically correct idea of ​​WHO is supported by many countries. But it also confuses many people. Some observers argue that Greek letters are actually not that easy to remember. While others point out that the WHO is in danger of “running out of names” at some point, since the Greek alphabet has only 24 letters.

The Revenant (2015) Movie content: The Revenant is based on a true story, the film tells the story of the hunter Hugh Glass (played by Leonardo Dicaprio). After a bloody battle with the Native Americans, Hugh was wounded and ruthlessly abandoned by his comrades in the snowy mountains. From there, Hugh Glass must do everything to survive the brutal cold, predators and war with the tribes in the wilderness. Thanks to his strong will, the hunter miraculously survived, crossing a distance of more than 3,000 miles (4,828 km) alone to return and take revenge on John Fitzgerald (played by Tom Hardy) – who was once the old friend of mine. The scene where Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is attacked by a mother bear is one of the most spectacular and unrealistic moments in this movie. The bear used its claws and fangs to bite and jump on Hugh. You may not know: The bite force of the gâú is 1,160psi (it’s like a human biting a sausage), their claws are 10-15 cm long and their weight is about 300-400 kg. You see, no one can survive such a war. Another strange point is that the grizzly bear attacks the main character because he is a threat to its cubs. For a mother, nothing is more important than protecting her cubs, but the bear just stops in the middle of a fight, leaving the opponent alive and gone. In another scene, Glass takes off his wet clothes and gets inside the horse’s belly to keep warm. It was a method used by many soldiers during the war, but…the main character spent the whole night inside the horse. Since the snow was everywhere, the temperature was definitely below zero and the horse’s corpse was dead. will freeze after a few hours. If it was in real life, Glass would have no chance of coming back alive the next morning. He could freeze to death in the night. In short, although “The Revenant” is based on a true story, we should only treat it as a feature film. The Leader – Alpha (2018) Movie content Alpha: The Leader is an ambitious action-adventure film from Sony. Not only possessing an overwhelming exterior depicting the majestic ancient world, the work also embraces an extremely touching scenario. The film is the story of the feud between a prehistoric boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and a stray wolf. Also from here, human history completely changed. In this movie we enjoy the majestic landscape and beautiful friendship between a boy and a wolf. But there are many mistakes in the movie that are quite obvious. The beginning of the film is the fight of a boy and a buffalo. But you can’t say it’s a war either: The animal just attacked the boy, and if it were in real life, he’d be broken/paralysed. At the end of the attack, the boy falls from a rock but only dislocates his hip. The wolf’s behavior is also quite strange. Its injuries don’t look too serious and a wild animal would rather follow its pack than stay with its enemies – a wolf can still walk on three legs. . Talk a little bit about the appearance of the wolves. We see prehistoric mammoths and saber-toothed tigers in the movies, but the wolves in the movie look like today’s wolves and are no bigger than a normal dog. How can they survive in a world full of giants? The Meg – The Meg (2018) Another recently released movie about a giant shark. It is difficult to judge the appearance and behavior of prehistoric monsters, but all creatures will be subject to certain biological laws. The size of the shark in the film is described as 70 – 75 ft (21.3 – 22.8 m) long. But scientists think its size was 60 ft (18 m). One of the heroic characters in the movie also said that such a shark could easily bite a whale in half. But they do not specify the size of the whale. What do we imagine when we think of whales? It is true that there are really huge whales. But there are whales that are only 13 – 16 ft (about 4 – 5 m) long like the dwarf sperm whale, while the size of a blue whale is 110 ft (33.5 m) – almost twice the size. shark size. As for bite force, sharks can bite a whale in half. But can the shark expand its jaws to that extent? Scientists have proven that megalodon can attack whales, but these whales must not be too large, only 40 – 50 ft (12 – 15 m) long. Sometimes in the movie, the shark attacks only one person (one of the main characters). But scientists don’t think this is characteristic of prehistoric predators. They will not chase 1 or 2 humans, but may swim to attack places with many people (such as the beach). In the beach scene at the end of the movie when the megalodon hunts on the beach, the shark approaches people swimming far from the shore and opens its mouth to swallow them, however it suddenly hears the sound of whales and swims away. . But in reality, it would have easily swallowed the prey that was lying right under its nose and continued to attack other victims.

Illustration. Honey contains a lot of vitamins, minerals and natural amino acids that help absorb and retain water. In addition, the alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) found in honey are also responsible for miraculously exfoliating and anti-aging lips.

In addition, cucumber juice also works to treat and prevent disease effectively. Each day 1 glass of cucumber juice will help the body replenish 1 amount of water and help remove toxins out and work to prevent cancer cells, especially breast, ovarian, death. bowel and prostate gland. Vera For many women, the care for aloe vera skin is too familiar. So why not treat lips with aloe vera when they are chapped? Famous for its ability to moisturize, just one layer of aloe vera gel on the lips will improve the dryness and chapping of the lips instantly. Not only increasing moisture, helping to heal painful cracks on the lips quickly, aloe vera also contributes to dissolve dark pigmentation to make lips pink, plump. Vitamin E Known for its power to improve the condition of skin and hair to prevent aging, when vitamin E combined with a number of other ingredients also provide effective lip treatment, perfect lip balm. For capsule form of vitamin E, you can use a needle to poke a small hole and then apply it to your lips before going to bed (overnight). Note: Besides using lip masks from natural ingredients, women also need to provide enough water for the body. This is one of the easiest tips to cure chapped lips for you. This will help the body to be more immune to toxins and at the same time stay hydrated throughout the day. Besides, you should add a variety of fruits to provide the necessary moisture to the lips, so the lips will automatically recover. Treatment of chapped lips with cucumbers Cucumber not only works to nourish the skin, reduce pigmentation, but it can also treat winter dry lips extremely effectively. The high water content in cucumbers helps your lips to be wonderfully moist and moist. Using: Cut a few slices of cucumber and gently rub them on your lips so that the water crystals in the cucumber can penetrate deeply into your lips. Hold for about 20 minutes then rinse your lips with warm water. Just do this from 3-4 times / week, you will have soft, bright pink lips.
