Cranberry effective against UTI

A recent study by researchers from Bond University, the University of Helsinki, and Helsinki University Hospital suggests that drinking cranberry juice can significantly lower the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The study, using a network meta-analysis of 20 trials involving 3,091 participants, found that cranberry juice consumption reduced UTI incidence by 54% compared to no treatment and by 27% compared to a placebo.

This reduction also correlated with a 59% decrease in antibiotic use, highlighting cranberry juice as a promising non-drug intervention for UTI management. The researchers emphasize the importance of such interventions amidst increasing antibiotic resistance and suggest that cranberry juice could alleviate the clinical and financial burden associated with UTI treatments

Nuclear Battery

A Chinese company has developed a new nuclear battery that can keep a phone running for 50 years without charging. Betavolt Technology claims to have successfully miniaturized atomic energy batteries, which measure less than a coin at 15 x 15 x 5mm. The compact battery uses 63 nuclear isotopes to generate 100 microwatts and a voltage of 3V of electricity through the process of radioactive decay. The battery is currently in the pilot testing stage and Betavolt plans to mass-produce them for commercial devices like phones and drones, but also states that nuclear batteries could be used for aerospace equipment, AI, medical equipment, advanced sensors, and micro-robots. Experts say this technology could revolutionize electronics by removing the need for chargers or portable power banks by creating devices that run continuously and whose batteries do not degrade in terms of capacity and lifespan over charging cycles like the Li-ion batteries.

The transmission of so-called enteric viruses through saliva suggests that coughing, talking, sneezing, sharing food and utensils, and even kissing all have the potential for spreading the viruses. The new findings still need to be confirmed in human studies The researchers believe their discovery c...
