High-end diagnostic centre to be launched in India
Now the wait for the results of the high-end diagnostic
tests is set to get shorter with Core Diagnostics planning to launch operation
in India. Core Diagnostics is a global connected network of clinical laboratories.
‘We will launch a high-end diagnostic laboratory in Gurgaon.
We will make those high-end diagnostics tests available in India, for which
samples used to go to the US and other countries,’ Arghya Basu, co-founder of
the company, told IANS on the launch Saturday. ‘Earlier, patients had to wait
for long for the results of their diagnostic tests but now with high-end
laboratory there will be no wait for them,’ Zoya Brar, director of Core
Diagnostic, said.
‘Effective treatment for any disease begins with an accurate
and timely diagnosis. Our aim at Core is to bridge the diagnostic deficit,’
said Core Diagnostics’s chief executive officer (CEO) Mohan Talwar.

Exercising
after eating a heavy meal prevents potential heart health issues!
Do
you want to get rid of the guilt and potential heart-related health risks after
a particularly high fat meal? Just exercise! A new study by Japanese
researchers found that a little bit of walking and light resistance training
after a heavy meal reduces the boost in triglycerides, fats in blood and other
effects normally seen after consuming this type of food.
The
study went on to say that exercising afterwards did was better for reducing
increased triglyceride levels than before. High levels of triglycerides are
known to increase risks of heart disease. While studies have shown that
exercise reduces triglyceride levels, few of them have ever looked at the
effect of exercise shortly after eating. However, the research team added that
this was a small study and further research was needed to know whether these
results apply to the general population.
In
the study, researchers from Kyoto Prefectural University measured triglyceride
levels in ten men and women after they ate a meal consisting of 38% fat. On two
separate days people exercise either an hour before or after eating the meal.
On the third day, none of them exercised. This is what they observed
- When people didn’t exercise, the triglyceride
levels rose from 66 mg/dL to 172 mg/dL
- When they exercised before eating, the levels
rose to 148 mg/dL within two hours of eating
- When people exercised after eating, the levels
increased to 131 mg/dL
Six
hours after eating the high-fat meal, all participants’ triglyceride levels
were the about the same, regardless of whether or not they had exercised.
However, even temporary increases in triglyceride levels after eating a
high-fat meal may increase cardiovascular disease risk, the researchers said. Exercising
after a fatty meal may accelerate the rate at which the body uses fat, thus
reducing triglyceride levels, the researchers said.
The
study was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports &
Exercise.
