☆ Belly fat linked to brain decay and early signs of Alzheimer’s, study finds

Both beta amyloid plaques and tau tangles are early signs of the brain’s march toward a possible Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. “Most of a person’s body mass index (BMI) reflects subcutaneous fat, not visceral fat,” Raji said. “The more visceral fat one has, the more inflammation happens in the body and it’s much worse, in truth, than the inflammation that occurs with subcutaneous fat,” Raji said. Visceral fat receives more blood flow due to its placement near organs and is more hormonally active than subcutaneous fat, Raji said. “Previously, we had only showed a link between visceral fat and amyloid.”The PET scans showed that as visceral fat levels went up, so did levels of both amyloid and tau, according to the new research.

All six, said to have been inside the home in Jefferson City when it exploded, were taken to University Hospital in Columbia, Missouri, with moderate to severe injuries, the Jefferson City Fire Department said in a statement. Two of them were in bad enough shape that they were taken by helicopter for a faster trip to University Hospital trauma center. The Jefferson City Fire Department's Special Operations Rescue Team was enlisted to help pull victims from the rubble, it said. Jake Holee, Jefferson City Fire Department assistant chief and spokesperson, said the agency was lucky to have the right equipment on hand, along with the help of 37 personnel at the scene.

CNN —Australia has warned travelers against drinking spirits made by a Laos distiller, following the deaths of six foreign tourists from suspected methanol poisoning in the Southeast Asian country. “Lao authorities have issued an order prohibiting the sale and consumption of Tiger Vodka and Tiger Whisky due to their concerns about these products being a health risk,” the Australian advisory said. One, who asked not to be named, told CNN they had conducted an independent survey of travelers who also fell ill or were hospitalized after suspected methanol poisoning. Laos Tiger Vodka and Tiger Whisky are a brand of locally produced spirits that are cheap to buy and often used in mixed drinks and cocktails. If not treated, fatality rates are reported to be 20% to 40%, depending on the concentration of the methanol and the amount ingested, according to medical charity Doctors Without Borders, which tracks cases of methanol poisoning globally.

Gangs in Haiti are recruiting children at unprecedented levels, with the number of minors targeted soaring by 70% in the past year, according to a report released Monday by UNICEF. Currently, between 30% to 50% of all gang members in the violence-wracked country are children, according to the U.N.“This is a very concerning trend,” said Geeta Narayan, UNICEF’s representative in Haiti. Recruitment is surging as many schools remain closed and children become increasingly vulnerable, with gang violence leaving more than 700,000 people homeless in recent years, including an estimated 365,000 minors. Many of them live in makeshift shelters where they’re preyed upon by gangs and face physical and sexual violence. “Criminal groups have often used sexual violence to instill fear in rival territories,” it said.

Mr. Yu, 61, has occupied a spot between Mulberry and Mott Streets almost every day for more than 20 years, and he has seen enough to know that hustle can no longer promise prosperity to immigrants working in Chinatown.
