Although experts see no signs of an eruption, they insist that it must be monitored closely.

January 27, 2025 by usatoday24

Over the past few years, and especially this past week, Teide has been attracting the attention of experts and locals alike. The reason is that this dormant giant has been showing signs of activity for a few years. Activity, which, these same experts point out, should not lead us to think that an eruption could be near. “Anomalous” activity. The scientific team in charge of monitoring the state of Teide has detected some “slight” changes to this one. This is an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and a deformation of the land. The information emerged after the meeting last week of the scientific committee of the special civil protection plan for volcanic risk in the Canary Islands (Pevolca). No risk in the short or medium term. The team emphasize that this does not imply an imminent eruption, not even close. For this reason, they clarify, it is not necessary to move to the yellow seismological risk alert level. “It is important that people understand that this is not the situation we experienced on La Palma before the eruption,” explained Itahiza Domínguez, director of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) in the Canary Islands, in statements collected by the agency EFE. Precursors. For now, Teide has not given the type of signs of activity that could be linked to the arrival of an eruption. As explained by the IGN itself, basaltic-type eruptions such as the one that would be expected in this volcano are preceded by “very strong” precursors of seismicity: the deformations of the terrain and the emission of gases would be accompanied by intense earthquakes and swarms. “very dense” of seismic activity. Domínguez recalls that the island of Tenerife is “volcanically active”, which implies that an eruption is possible at some point in the future, but we still do not have any signal that tells us when it could occur. Since 2016. The observed rebound in the island’s geological activity it’s not entirely new. Starting in 2016, the experts who monitor this activity began to observe an increase in the volume of CO2 expelled by Teide accompanied by an increase in the microseismicity of the environment. Nemesio Pérez, director of the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan), spoke of “significant changes” that have occurred in the last eight years. Clarify, however, that this does not mean that they are changes towards an eruption.” More surveillance. Last week’s meeting served to emphasize the need to reinforce surveillance of the volcano under the highest peak of the Canary archipelago (and the rest of the country). “We do not see a magma movement per se, but we must monitor it,” Domínguez pointed out to EFE.

Experts want to redefine obesity to improve the health of millions of people in the world

January 27, 2025 by usatoday24

A report prepared by experts from all over the world warns that the risk of diagnosing too many people is running, and that a “more precise” and “nuanced” definition is needed on this term. Doctors should take into account the general health of patients with excess fat, instead of limiting their body mass index (BMI), says the report. Those who suffer from chronic diseases caused by their weight should be diagnosed with “clinical obesity”, but those who do not have health problems should be diagnosed “preclinical obesity.” It is estimated that more than one billion people suffer from obesity worldwide, so there is a great demand for thinning medications. The report, published in the magazine The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinologyhas the support of more than 50 medical experts from around the world. New look “Obesity is a spectrum,” says Francesco Rubino, professor at King’s College in London and president of the group that carried out the investigation. “Some suffer from it and manage to lead a normal life, function normally.” “Others cannot walk or breathe well, or go in a wheelchair and have serious health problems.” Getty Images: There is a difference between people with excess weight who can do physical activity and lead a healthy life and those that do not, the report says. The report urges to “reformulate” the concept of obesity to distinguish between patients with a disease and those who remain healthy, but run the risk of diseases in the future. Currently, in many countries, obesity is defined as having an BMI greater than 30, a measure that estimates body fat based on height and weight. Access to medicines to lose weight as Wegovy and Mounjaro is usually restricted to patients in this category. However, according to the report, the BMI does not reveal anything about the patient’s general health, and does not distinguish between muscle and body fat or take into account the most dangerous fat around the waist and organs. The experts advocate a new model that takes into account the signs of obesity that affect the organs of the body – such as heart disease, dyspnea, type 2 diabetes or joint pain – and its detrimental impact on everyday life. This indicates that obesity has become a clinical disease and needs pharmacological treatment. Getty Images: access to medicines to lose weight like Wegovy and Mounjaro is usually restricted to patients with a high BMI. However, people with “preclinical obesity”, instead of drugs and surgery, should be offered tips to lose weight, advice and monitoring to reduce the possibilities of health problems. A treatment may also be necessary. “Unnecessary treatment” “Obesity is a health risk; The difference is that for some it is also a disease, ”said Professor Rubino. The expert added that it was sensible to redefine it to know the level of risk in a wide population, instead of the current “blurred image of obesity.” According to the report, the quotation-sturars or direct measurement of fat, together with a detailed medical history, can offer a much clearer image than the BMI. Getty images: BMI is not an index that gives us information about the person’s health, says the report. Louise Bour, an expert in child obesity of the University of Sydney who collaborated in the preparation of the report, affirms that the new approach will allow obese adults and children to “receive more appropriate attention”, while reducing the number of overdiagnostics and unnecessary treatments. At a time when drugs are prescribed on a large scale that reduce body weight by up to 20%, the report states that this “rethinking” of obesity “is so much more relevant” since “improves the accuracy of the diagnosis.” “LIMITED FINANCING” The Royal College of Physicians of London states that the report feels solid bases “to treat obesity with the same medical rigor and compassion as other chronic diseases.” Distinguish between preclinical and clinical obesity would be “a vital step” and “empower Many fear that the pressure on health budgets will translate into less money for “preobesos” patients. Jim Mann, co -director of the Edgar Center for Research on Diabetes and Obesity, in Otago, New Zealand, said that it was likely to emphasize “in the needs of those who are defined as clinically obese” and that the limited financing “most likely” is allocate to them.

The human error that causes anxiety in dogs, according to experts

January 24, 2025 by usatoday24

Renowned veterinarian Amir Anwary issued an important warning to dog owners: certain seemingly harmless behaviors could be contributing to the development of separation anxiety in your pets. In a recent video posted on his TikTok account, the specialist explained the most common errors and shared key strategies to prevent this problem. The impact of exaggerated goodbyes and greetings One of the most common mistakes owners make, according to Anwary, is making excessively emotional farewells and greetings. These interactions can confuse dogs and cause stress. Separation anxiety in dogs can be avoided by following specialist advice.Credit: Hanna Taniukevich | Shutterstock “Keep calm when you leave home and when you return. When you leave home, You make it a big scene and when you come home, you make it an even bigger scene”explained the veterinarian in his video. Likewise, Anwary recommended avoid approaching the dog during the ten minutes before leaving the house and upon returning. Although this measure could seem “cruel” to some owners, the expert assured that It is one of the most effective ways to prevent separation anxiety. Strategies to reduce anxiety To help dogs stay relaxed during their owners’ absences, Anwary suggested ensure they get enough physical exercise before being left alone. A long walk can help the animal feel calmer and more tired, which reduces its anxiety level. Besides, keeping pets mentally occupied is essential. Leaving them puzzles with treats can be an effective way to stimulate their minds and provide them with a positive task to focus on while they wait for their owners to return. A gradual adaptation system For cases where dogs must be left alone for long periods, Anwary advised implementing a gradual approach. “When you leave the house, start by leaving for five minutes and watch your response.”he explained. This method allows pets to progressively get used to the idea of being alone, minimizing the emotional impact of prolonged absences. In situations where these strategies are not enough, the veterinarian urged you to go to an animal behavior specialist. These professionals can offer a personalized approach to treating separation anxiety and guide owners in managing their pet’s behavior. The key, according to Anwary, is foster an environment of calm and emotional balance for petshelping them face their owners’ absences without anxiety and ensuring them a healthier and happier life.
