Scientists advise caution. Those who use white, pink, or brown noise to sleep should be especially careful. Just like the brain, their hearing needs to recover from its exertion. "Hearing is an active process, where metabolic waste products are produced that can damage hearing in the long term. Actually, the best time for the hearing to break down these metabolic waste products and, so to speak, clean up is at night," says Basner. The sleep researcher therefore recommends finding a volume that is comfortable for you personally, but not stressful. There is no recommended volume, but some studies recommend a volume of around 40 decibels for young children. Basner also recommends using a timer that turns the noise off after a certain period of time. This allows you to enjoy the desired positive effect for falling asleep while avoiding potential negative consequences. Anyone who wants to try the noise can find videos and playlists with titles like "White Noise," "Pink Noise," and "Brown Noise" on YouTube and relevant music streaming services like Spotify. Ultimately, however, according to sleep researcher Basner, more research is needed to find out whether the sounds are good or bad overall. https://www.tagesschau.de/wissen/forschung/rauschen-schlaf-100.html Published on 12apr2023

Supercentenarian gives insight on secrets https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09/24/three-yogurts-a-day/ Tests on Maria Branyas Morera, who was world’s oldest person aged 117, gave doctors a trove of discoveries https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/sep/24/supercentenarian-gives-scientists-insight-on-secrets-of-healthy-old-age Her gut microbiome was also very young for her age with plenty of Bifidobacterium https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/26/health/maria-branyas-morera-study-genes-intl-scli-wellness Interestingly, scientists noticed a "huge erosion" in Branyas' telomeres – the caps at the ends of her chromosomes. Telomeres protect our genetic material, and shorter ones are linked to a higher risk of death. Recent studies, however, suggest that among the oldest of the old, telomeres are not actually a useful biomarker of aging. In fact, having very short telomeres may have provided Branyas with an advantage. Hypothetically speaking, write the authors, the short lifespan of her body's cells may have stopped cancer from ever proliferating https://www.sciencealert.com/dna-study-of-117-year-old-woman-reveals-clues-to-a-long-life

Dieser bildet sich über Jahre oder sogar Jahrzehnte hinweg. Die Bakterien verhalten sich im Biofilm ruhig und sind dort sowohl vor dem Immunsystem als auch vor Antibiotika geschützt. Virusinfektionen und andere Auslöser können die Bakterien „aufwecken“. Durch eine Virusinfektion oder andere externe Auslöser kann der Biofilm aktiviert werden. Dann vermehren sich die Bakterien, was eine Entzündungsreaktion hervorruft. Die Entzündung lässt das Plaque-Material rissig werden, wodurch die Bildung von Blutgerinnseln begünstigt wird. Diese können wiederum einen Herzinfarkt auslösen. Eine bakterielle Beteiligung an der koronaren Herzkrankheit wird seit langem vermutet, doch es fehlten direkte und überzeugende Beweise. In dieser Studie wurde das Vorhandensein von genetischem Material – DNA – verschiedener oraler Bakterien in atherosklerotischen Plaques nachgewiesen.
