“We offer hospitals an independent sustainability certification”
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[08/05/2013] Just because green plants sprout from the ground, it doesn’t mean that the sky is blue. There are numerous green areas in Shanghai for example, yet the air is very polluted. To act in an ecologically conscious manner, you need to focus on sustainability. Hospitals and clinics also want to achieve this at this point and are being certified through different processes. “We offer hospitals an independent sustainability certification” - Read more
Air Pollution Linked to Hardening of the Arteries

"Migraine is a complex disorder"
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[08/11/2012] A global collaboration of scientists with participation by a team of researchers from the Headache and Pain Center Kiel (“Schmerzklinik Kiel”) has decoded four new gene locations whose changes significantly increase the risk of migraines. Recently in the world’s largest migraine study, the genes of more than 5,000 migraine patients were being examined and compared to 7,000 control persons. "Migraine is a complex disorder" - Read more
“People take a reserved stance towards naturopathic procedures"
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[24/09/2012] When people talk about fasting, they often mean caloric restriction in terms of a dietary regimen. Yet medically supervised fasting is so much more than this. Fasting has a positive effect on the human body in many different ways and could provide new perspectives for chronically sick people in the future. What mechanisms are behind all this – what is psychology and what is scientifically proven? “People take a reserved stance towards naturopathic procedures" - Read more
Economic Pressures Altering Disease Risk
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[21/09/2012] The pressures of global trade may heighten disease incidence by dictating changes in land use. A boom in disease-carrying ticks and chiggers has followed the abandonment of rice cultivation in Taiwanese paddies, say ecologist Chi-Chien Kuo and colleagues, demonstrating the potential for global commodities pricing to drive the spread of infections.

The Dangers of Exposure to Light at Night
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[13/09/2012] A panel of world experts discussed “Light Pollution and its Ecophysiological Consequences” and shed light on the extent of the dangers and harm that night-time artificial lighting causes, emphasizing that it is the short wavelength illumination that we have come to know as “eco-friendly illumination” that is causing the most harm (primarily LED lighting). The Dangers of Exposure to Light at Night - Read more
Acute Stress Alters Control of Gene Activity
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[15/08/2012] Acute stress alters the methylation of the DNA and thus the activity of certain genes. This is reported by researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, together with colleagues from Basel, Trier and London for the first time. Acute Stress Alters Control of Gene Activity - Read more
Air Pollution Linked to Chronic Disease
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[08/06/2012] Air pollution, a serious danger to the environment, is also a major health risk, associated with respiratory infections, lung cancer and heart disease. Now a Tel Aviv University researcher has concluded that not only does air pollution impact cardiac events such as heart attack and stroke, but it also causes repeated episodes over the long term.
