Viruses in winter - Features and disease prevention
During the winter, the human body faces increased risks of viral infections due to low temperatures and seasonal factors that contribute to the spread of illnesses. Among the most common viral diseases in the cold season are influenza, ARVI, the common cold, and various respiratory infections. These conditions can severely disrupt daily life, especially for children and the elderly.One of the primary reasons why viruses become more active in winter is the weakening of the immune system. Cold air, dry indoor environments, vitamin deficiencies, lack of sunlight, and limited outdoor activities significantly reduce the body's resistance. In such conditions, viruses can more easily enter the respiratory system, triggering inflammatory processes.Influenza and ARVI. Influenza, one of the most well-known viral diseases, reaches its peak activity during the colder months.

Alzheimer’s disease and eggs – an unexpected research finding
Studies have confirmed that aging and cognitive decline are major risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. However, what many people may not realize is that high cholesterol levels in the blood are also an important factor. This issue continues to spark debates among experts. Elevated cholesterol levels can significantly increase the risk of developing mild cognitive impairments and even Alzheimer's disease as one ages.Recently, a meta-analysis was conducted, combining data from seventeen different studies, and was published in the journal Nutrients. The findings revealed that high cholesterol levels in middle age could nearly triple the likelihood of developing cognitive disorders and dementia later in life. This is concerning, as aging naturally leads to a decline in mental functions, and the addition of high cholesterol to the mix may accelerate memory loss and other cognitive issues. However, there is good news, which comes from an unexpected source: eggs.Recent studies ha..
Digital Autism
Uncontrolled smartphone use among children can lead to serious consequences, one of which is the phenomenon known as "digital autism." While this term has not yet been officially recognized in the medical field, it is already widely known among specialists and is actively discussed in the medical community.Early signs of digital autism can manifest as early as infancy. A child who, by the age of five months, is already holding a smartphone not only fails to develop communication skills but also begins to experience developmental delays. This occurs because the child no longer seeks contact with others, as the virtual world provides everything: bright images, cartoons, and games. This reduces the need for real conversations, leading the child to fall behind in speech and social development.The problems worsen as children begin using smartphones at older ages. In school, they may encounter significant difficulties in communication, including increased anxiety. In adolescence,..
Antibiotic Resistance as a Global Health Threat
Antibiotic resistance has emerged as one of the most serious threats to global public health. According to statistics, around 35,000 people in the European Union die annually from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens. By 2050, this number could exceed 39 million worldwide. This issue requires urgent action at an international level.The main causes of antibiotic resistance are excessive use of these medications and globalization. Studies show that antibiotics are often prescribed without proper justification, leading to the development of resistant strains of bacteria. This is particularly common in outpatient settings, where patients, lacking a clear diagnosis, may be given antibiotics "just in case." This leads to bacteria becoming more resistant to medications, making infections increasingly difficult to treat.One of the factors contributing to the spread of resistant pathogens is international mobility. Patients traveling to countries with high levels of r..
Rise in diabetes cases. Adoption of a diabetes prevention program could change the situation
Seven years ago, endocrinologists in Kazakhstan warned that without a national diabetes prevention program, the country could have a million diabetes patients by 2030. At that time, the number of cases was about 300,000. Unfortunately, the program was never developed, and now, by the end of 2024, over 500,000 people are officially registered as diabetes patients. The actual number is closer to 800,000. This means that every day, about 100 Kazakhstanis are diagnosed with diabetes, and five people lose limbs daily—one of the most dangerous consequences of the disease.Diabetes is not only a significant health threat but also a heavy burden on the national budget. According to the research conducted by the Kazakhstan Diabetes Society, the costs of treating diabetes have been rising each year. The state spends 45 billion tenge (approximately $90 million) annually on diabetes medications. This accounts for 27% of the total budget allocated for medicine, surpassing even the funds ..

Standards and interpretation of a complete blood count
A complete blood count (CBC) is an indispensable tool in medical diagnostics, allowing for an assessment of a person’s health and the detection of possible issues. This test includes the analysis of various parameters, each of which provides valuable insights into the patient's health. Let’s look at the main components of a CBC, their interpretation, and acceptable norms.The first element is red blood cells, or erythrocytes, which play a key role in transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Normal values for men range from 4.0 to 5.5 million cells per microliter, while for women, it’s 3.5–5.0 million cells.The next important component is hemoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen and helps deliver it to cells. Normal levels for men are between 130–170 g/L, and for women, they range from 120 to 150 g/L.Hematocrit shows the proportion of red blood cells in the total blood volume. For men, this level is between 40–50%, and for women, it’s 36–44%.Leukocytes, or white blood cel..
How Fall Affects Blood Sugar
With the arrival of fall, many of us experience changes in our well-being, and our blood sugar levels are no exception. This time of year not only sees changes in the weather, but also changes in our bodies that can affect glucose levels. Many factors, from diet to physical activity, can have a significant impact on this indicator.In the fall, the days become shorter and the temperature drops, which often leads to a decrease in physical activity.

Therefore, it is important to remember to include at least a little physical activity in your daily routine - walking, stretching, or home workouts.Don't forget about nutrition, too. With the arrival of fall, we tend to dive into cozy dishes, often rich in carbohydrates. Sweet pumpkin pies, hot drinks with sugar, and a variety of pastries can significantly affect sugar ..

SHIF explained the reason for delays in payment for medical services
The Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) explained the reason for delays in payment for medical services, which caused concern among the population and rumors about a possible reduction in funding. According to the head of the Almaty branch of the SHIF, Ilyas Mukhamedzhan, the delays are due to technical difficulties that arose at the beginning of the year, when it was not possible to launch the Unified System of Compulsory Medical Insurance (ESOMI) based on the E-Densaulyq platform in a timely manner.The Fund had to implement its own system called Saqtandyru, which caused temporary delays in payments for medical services rendered.

In the event of an overload of medical institutions, i..
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine
American scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ravkan have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Their outstanding discovery is microRNA molecules, which play an important role in regulating gene activity. This study helped us understand how the same genetic kit can work differently in cells, allowing them to specialize in different functions. This discovery has changed our understanding of processes in multicellular organisms, including humans.MicroRNAs help maintain balance in cells, and their importance has proven to be especially important for the development and normal functioning of the body. The discovery of these molecules explains why disruptions in their work can lead to serious diseases such as cancer or diabetes. Scientists have essentially opened a new chapter in the study of gene regulation, which may influence the development of new treatments in the future.This achievement has become a real breakthrough in genetics and molecular biology.
