DAK pitches for separate swine flu clinics at Kashmir hospitals
SRINAGAR: With surge in number of swine flu cases and 15 deaths so far this season in Kashmir valley due to the virus, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) on Tuesday urged health authorities in Kashmir to set up separate outpatient clinics for swine flu patients.
"Separate flu clinics in hospitals will prevent the spread of swineflu and will save lives," said DAK President and flu expert Dr Nisar ul Hassan in a communiqué.
He said these clinics will end intermingling of flu patients with those suffering from other ailments.

Dietary nanoparticulates impact gut microbiome
The intestinal microbiome is not only key for food processing, but an accepted codeterminant for various diseases. Researchers led by the University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) identified effects of nanoparticles on intestinal microorganisms. The ultra-small particles adhere to intestinal microorganisms, thereby affecting their life cycle as well as cross talk with the host. One of the researchers' observations was that nanoparticles' binding inhibits the infection with Helicobacter pylori, a pathogen implicated in gastric cancer. The findings will stimulate further epidemiological studies and pave the way for the development of potential probiotic nanoparticles for food. The discoveries were published in Science of Food.
Due to their minute size, nanoparticles have unique characteristics and capabilities, such as adhering to microstructures. Nanotechnology is as an important driver of innovation for both consumer industry and medicine. In medicine, the focus is on improving diagnostics and therapeutics, while industry addresses mainly product optimization. Hence, synthetic nanoparticles are already used as additives to improve the characteristics of food. But how can we use nanotechnology more efficiently and safely in food? And are there unknown effects of nanoparticles, which need to be further exploited?
Nutrition strongly influences the diversity and composition of our microbiome. 'Microbiome' describes all colonizing microorganisms present in a human being, in particular, all the bacteria in the gut. In other words, your microbiome includes your intestinal flora as well as the microorganisms that colonize your skin, mouth, and nasal cavity.
Scientists and clinicians are interested in microbiomes because of their positive or negative effects on the host. These include modulation of our immune system, metabolism, vascular aging, cerebral functioning, and our hormonal system. The composition of the microbiome seems to play an important role for the development of various disorders, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, allergies, obesity, and even mental disorders. "Hence, nutrition and its containing nanoparticulates may affect the microbiome-host balance, finally influencing human health. In order to reduce potential risks and, ideally, promote health, the impact of dietary nanoparticles needs to be understood," emphasized Professor David J. McClements from the Department of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, USA.
"Prior to our studies, nobody really looked whether and how nano-additives directly influence the gastrointestinal flora," commented Professor Roland Stauber of the Department of Otolaryngology, Head, and Neck Surgery at the Mainz University Medical Center. "Hence, we studied at a wide range of technical nanoparticles with clearly defined properties in order to mimic what happens to currently used or potential future nanosized food additives. By simulating the journey of particles through the different environments of the digestive tract in the laboratory, we found that the all tested nanomaterials were indeed able to bind to bacteria." explained Stauber.
The scientists discovered that these binding processes can have different outcomes. On the one hand, nanoparticle-bound microorganisms were less efficiently recognized by the immune system, which may lead to increased inflammatory responses. On the other hand, 'nano-food' showed beneficial effects. In cell culture models, silica nanoparticles inhibited the infectivity of Helicobacter pylori, which is considered to be one of the main agents involved in gastric cancer.
'It was puzzling that we were able to also isolate naturally occurring nanoparticles from food, like beer, which showed similar effects. Nanoparticles in our daily food are not just those added deliberately but can also be generated naturally during preparation. Nanoparticulates are already omnipresent," concluded Stauber.
The insights of the study will allow to derive strategies for developing and utilizing synthetic or natural nanoparticles to modulate the microbiome as beneficial ingredients in functional foods. "The challenge is to identify nanoparticles that fit the desired purpose, perhaps even as probiotic food supplements in the future. Challenge accepted," wrote Stauber and his team.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reveals her skincare and makeup routine: 'Blend between K-beauty and scientific consensus'

She made history by becoming the youngest-ever Congresswomen - and quickly became a daily target of right-wing media and online trolls, partly for her non-conventional use of social media.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's latest surprising update? Sharing her detailed skincare routine, which she says helps her to prioritise self-care despite her stressful public role.
The politician recently shared her makeup and skincare ritual with her Instagram followers – and it was widely praised as making her even more relatable.
Ms Ocasio-Cortez shared the insight after a follower asked her: “How do you stay stress-free and how do you keep your skin so clear?!”
Having explained portions of her beauty routine before, including her affinity for press-on nails, Ms Ocasio-Cortez shared her entire routine, which she described as a “blend between K-beauty and scientific consensus.”
According to the Congresswoman, her makeup routine during the day is simple – she relies on just moisturiser or bb cream, concealer, mascara, blush, stick highlighter, brow gel, and lip colour for her daily look and avoids “full-coverage foundation.”
On “fancier days,” she also uses powder contour, eyeliner and eyeshadow – but skips false eyelashes because she’s been unable to glue them on successfully.
And she doesn’t have a preference when it comes to drug store or high-end cosmetics, as she’s used both.
“I also straight up don’t wear makeup some days and everyone just has to deal with it,” she wrote, after advising: “When it comes to makeup, don’t use more than you need.”
Her most important advice, however, came in the form of her daily skincare and cleansing routine.
According to the Congresswoman, she keeps her skin clear despite being “stressed pretty much every day” by following a three-part routine involving double cleansing – using a balm or wipe to remove makeup followed by a cleanser – toners and actives, and moisturiser and sunscreen.
“Use a moisturiser that works with your skin,” she told her two million followers. “I find moisturiser to be one of the most personal steps because everyone’s skin is different and it’s like finding jeans that fit.”
“Then: SUNSCREEN! The most important thing,” she said of the daily habit she has been following since she was 19.
She also revealed she “experiments” a lot with skincare and tools and tries to do a “face mask or eye patch or something extra like that every once in a while” and that omitting dairy from her diet helps her skin from breaking out.
“DIET impacts a lot,” she wrote.
On Twitter, the Democratic Congresswoman was praised for sharing the latest insight into her life.
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted her skincare routine on her Instagram story and I just do not know how I can love her more than I already do right now,” one person wrote.

Another said: “Get you a politician like AOC that gives well thought-out answers on campaigns AND skincare routines.”
“I follow you for the politics but damn if you didn’t finally explain what I’ve been trying to learn about skincare for the last two years,” someone else tweeted.

Working women havens
Workspaces centred around women on the rise in the US propelled by the #MeToo movement.
Minneapolis (US): Entering the year-old workspace ModernWell feels like coming into a comfortable spa. Clean lines give way to cozy touches like footstools covered with faux fur and a roaring fire surrounded by comfortable armchairs. Women type away on laptops at tables scattered throughout.
There is not a man in sight.
ModernWell is one of a growing number of women-only and women-focused workspaces around the country. While many predate the #MeToo movement, their growth has been interlinked with it as it put combating workplace harassment on the national agenda. They're also tapping into a desire among many women to build a community and supportive environment at work that's different from a stereotypical corporate workplace culture.
The spaces provide more than just desks and a coffee machine. They offer programs like high-profile speakers or yoga classes, and a chance to build a social and business network with like-minded women. It's like WeWork, minus the beer on tap and tech bro atmosphere.
"I think women, especially, are craving safe spaces where they can go and be inspired and do really important work without interruption and without being reminded of all that too. There's literally no risk that somebody's going to sexually harass me here," said Renee Powers, a ModernWell member who founded her business, Feminist Book Club, in the space.
The biggest player is The Wing, which opened in 2016 in New York and has been expanding rapidly across the country. Its San Francisco location opened in October with a nod to the #MeToo movement, naming a conference room after Christine Blasey Ford, who testified before Congress that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in high school. Kavanaugh denied the allegation and was confirmed to the court. The company now has more than 6,000 members, spokeswoman Zara Rahim said.
Most of the spaces allow men, but some do not. The Wing is also under investigation by the New York City Commission on Human Rights for gender-based discrimination. The Wing said it is working with the commission.
Another fast-growing space is The Riveter, with five locations in Seattle and Los Angeles and plans to open in Austin, Texas, in March. About one-quarter of The Riveter's 2,000 members are men, founder and CEO Amy Nelson said, but the difference is that “out of the gate we're putting women first.” She added, "I think that we're seeing a societal shift that isn't going to go away. Women's voices are being heard."
ModernWell founder Julie Burton, an author and wellness instructor teaches yoga at her space, which also offers events such as a class on women's memoir writing. Burton said her space grew out of a writing group she co-founded in 2015, which coincidentally was women-only. After the 2016 presidential election, she said many women she knew were upset and she felt galvanized to build a business to help women support each other and empower themselves.
"Whether you are out marching or not marching, I felt we had work to do, and I wanted to be part of the work," she said. The space has given women from different industries and professional backgrounds a chance to connect, she added.
