WE CONTINUE TO TELL ABOUT worthy accounts in social networks through which you can view the whole world. Telegram wins in terms of useful content on any topic, but there are not many sensible channels about health and medicine. We advise you to pay attention to the blog Dental Jedi, which is led by dentist Marina Kuznetsova.

The topic of the definition of paternity is loved to be exploited in serials and television shows, and recently the whole world has flown around the story of the exhumation of the body of Salvador Dali at the insistence of a woman who called herself his daughter. True, the paternity of the great artist was not confirmed. We understand how paternity tests work and what results they can show, together with experts: Marina Demidova, Executive Director of Medical Genomix, and Olga Kokorina, a genetic doctor at Invitro Laboratory.

Infertility is a difficult diagnosis that can have many different causes. If a couple wants a child, but pregnancy does not occur, there are several options, the choice of which depends on the specific characteristics of the partner’s or partner’s body, and on financial possibilities and personal preferences: to seek adoption, use the services of a surrogate mother, in vitro fertilization procedures (IVF).

When the day begins with a gray sky, drizzling rain and puddles underfoot, there is a great temptation to write off bad health for the weather. However, in the International Classification of Diseases, where all known diseases are collected, the terms "meteorological dependence" or "meteosensitivity" are not. There is no scientific evidence of a direct relationship between atmospheric pressure, precipitation, wind speed and changes in the physiology of the body.

IN RUBRIC "BOOKMARKS" we tell about sites and online services - both useful and completely useless, but funny and amazing - which, in fact, should be added to favorites or added to the RSS-feed. @Eva_Gynecologist_bot Company DOC + has launched a bot that will help in dispelling the myths about gynecological health and will answer questions about the preparation for pregnancy and its course, contraception, menstruation, sex and STIs.

THE WORD "CARBOHYDRATES" BECAME ALMOST UNCONFECTABLE. Since serving nutritionists like Atkins and Dukan, the mantra about the dangers of carbohydrates has confused people for a long time: many people still seriously underestimate the role of these substances in the body, including their importance for maintaining a healthy weight. Global fitness boom slightly weakened carbohydrate grip, but did not dispel doubts.

Text: Olga Lukinskaya Tickling only at first glance seems something a priori pleasant, because with her it is easy to cross the line between laughter and tears. Although it is associated with fun and good mood, many people recall tickling as a childhood nightmare. Adults often do not think that children's laughter does not necessarily speak of joy and pleasure, and can only be a reflex.

Masha Vorslav Cosmetic lifehacks are passed from mouth to mouth, but they are not always effective and useful. They may have different origins, but many errors are so tenacious that they haunt us from childhood: for example, not only grandmothers, but also Soviet cosmetologists said that it was harmful to use decorative cosmetics.

Text: Gayana Demurina, Olga Lukinskaya We all know that health needs to be monitored - and this is not only a matter of the popularity of healthy lifestyles, but also in a common sense: a problem found in time is easier to treat. But sometimes, trying to protect ourselves, we get carried away and no longer see the difference between a real disease and its projection that occurs in the head.

Having decided to have a pet, we understand that in addition to tenderness and fun, new responsibilities are waiting for us, as well as wool, feathers, smells and sounds to which we are not used. To make pets stay in the house safe for themselves and our own health, we have to take a fresh look at hygiene.

Olga Lukinskaya ANSWERS TO THE MAJORITY OF US QUESTIONS THAT WE ARE USED TO SEARCH ONLINE. In the new series of materials we ask such questions: burning, unexpected or widespread - to professionals in various fields.

Having made an aesthetic operation on the nose, many say that it was required “because of a curved septum” - while other people manage to live after a broken nose, without seeking surgical correction. We tried to figure out when you still need to correct the nasal septum, how rhinoplasty differs from septoplasty and from where an additional hole may appear in the nose.

The word "migraine" is familiar to everyone from childhood, from books, but for some reason it is often considered that it is synonymous with a severe headache. Despite the prevalence of this disease, occurring in 12-18% of women and 6% of men, awareness of it remains surprisingly low. Together with the neurologist Denis Korobko, we understand what a migraine is, how it differs from an ordinary headache, and why it is useless to treat it with antispasmodics.

The “uncombable hair syndrome” syndrome is a hereditary condition in which hair grows almost perpendicular to the scalp and cannot be smoothed over; another name for the syndrome is “hair made of glass wool”, “spun glass hair”.

Text: Olga Polevikova Age-related changes are natural to the body. They occur not in old age, but much earlier, and one of the first to change the brain. Many of us notice that over time, the names of colleagues and urgent matters are remembered more difficult, and writing an article or report for the night becomes not so simple.

A phobia is a fear that cannot be controlled. A certain object, place, process, situation or even a feeling can cause it - there are a lot of phobias, but at the base of each is a strong alarm. In this case, from the last from time to time all come across. How to distinguish the usual anxiety from phobias and what to do to stop the panic, we understand together with the experts: the psychotherapist of the Vitbiomed + clinic Elena Samsonova, the neuropsychologist Mikhail Ivanov and the pilot of the Pobeda airline Alexey Kochemasov.

According to WHO, cancer (in particular, cancer of the lung, trachea and bronchi) ranks fifth in the list of leading causes of death in the world. At the same time, they are much more afraid of them than coronary heart disease or stroke, who are in the first two positions. Fear gave rise to panic: carcinogens are now looking for - and are finding - in everything, from cigarette smoke and exhaust gases to non-stick frying pans and coffee.

When you started your period, you probably already knew something about this phenomenon. Even against the background of a lack of sexual education, information about menstruation can be considered available: girls are more or less prepared for it. Unfortunately, the climax - a period in which many of us have to spend more than one year and during which noticeable changes will occur in the body - this can not be said.

Smartphones, tablets and laptops have become an integral part of our life - and with them social networks, without which working and personal communication now seems unthinkable.
