SAN FRANCISCO – A recent study published that Alphabet’s life Sciences division Verily has been building a drug rehab campus to deal with the opioid crisis. To work in this sector, Verily will create two health networks namely, Kettering Health Network and Premier Health, to establish a non-profit organization called OneFifteen. The drug rehabilitation center will be developed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities and it will offer both inpatients as well as outpatient services.

Verily knows it very clear that it is not easy to find a single solution to this problem of drug abuse. Many strategies need to be adopted in drug rehabs to treat the problem of opioid crisis. Apart from adopting strategies such as intensive rehabilitation and drop-in meetings, a continuous track of a patient’s condition will be taken into consideration. Not only will the situation of a patient in the clinics be analyzed but also there is a need to keep an eye to see what works for a patient once he leaves the clinic.

With the use of technology, the behavioral health of a patient will be analyzed by taking his permission. Variety of means will be used to track the health of a person and clinical care will be given to patients with a regular technological analysis.

Danielle Schlosser, a senior clinical scientist of behavioral health at Verily said, “We’re really on this quest to fundamentally transform behavioral health.

“I think anybody working in this field should be excited because we’re going to see change with the level of investment going into this initiative.”

Also, OneFifteen CEO Marti Taylor the most important aim of this organization is to change the way addiction is treated to date. A holistic approach to treat substance abuse needs will be used to help patients live a healthy life.

A former Miss Universe Contestant and a model, Rozanna Purcell, from Ireland, shared a photo of her stretch marks on Instagram. And she was highly applauded for this action of hers. She recalled her first time when she started spotting those stretch marks on her body, which was around 11 or 12 years of age.

Though like every other individual, she was highly conscious at first. Not everyone has those stretch marks on their body. And that led to Rozanna shying away from various things due to her marks. But few years back, she started becoming confident of her body, accepting the marks that now adorn her physique. And came out in the open proudly with those marks.

There are very less cures for those stretch marks which actually work wonders. Some of those can be found on PerfectBodyMate.com too. But which solution would work how good on your body, you can only find out after trying the cures. Rozanna too received numerous concerns and advices from her friends and families on how to reduce the appearance of those marks. But she was reluctant to try anything and harm her body. So, she ended up accepting that cellulite on her body with great pride.

She also wrote, “Stretch marks are normal, we all have them, big or small, they’re part of me and they’re here to stay.”

With this post, she has become a role model for many people who are scared of coming out in open with their stretch marks. She has given confidence to those ladies, especially, who can now wear the clothing of their choices without worrying about how those marks would look.

There is a poplar belief according to the free radical theory, that cold temperatures increase the lifespan of a person, because the metabolic rate slows down due to cold. But this notion has been challenged by a recent research about aging process.

Some scientists working at Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, revealed that the genes of a person play a major role in determining how much the cold temperature affects his or her lifespan. This university is an affiliate of University of Chicago, in Illinois.

For this research, tiny aquatic animals called rotifers were chosen. They make the perfect choice because they have more genes in common with humans. Moreover, they are transparent in shape, which makes it easy to study them properly. Not just that, they also possess a nervous system along with the brain, muscles, reproduction system, and digestive system. All of these traits make them highly similar to the humans.

If going by the free radical theory, all creatures should age slowly due to the cold temperatures. When this research was carried out on 11 strains of rotifers, results were highly varied. According to the popular belief, each rotifer should reach similar in cold temperatures. However that was not the case.

According to the results, each strain of rotifers gave different response to the test. There was a change in median lifespan of each strain, ranging from -6% to +100%. In some strains, the cold temperature also extended their reproductive period, which means increase in healthspan.

So, based on the latest research, the genetic makeup affects the response of body to cold temperatures. It can even increase the health span of a person, although it may not alter the lifespan. In short, when it comes to aging, genetic makeup should also be taken into consideration when going for any research.
