Untreated hyperthyroidism, conditions where there is excess thyroid hormone present, can adversely affect health, leading to increased risks for abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, osteoporosis, adverse pregnancy outcomes, metabolic abnormalities and increased mortality risk.

Adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are nearly three times more likely to develop dementia than adults without ADHD, according to a Rutgers study.

Medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) are characterized by persistent bodily symptoms and functional impairment that lack an explanation through known medical condition or pathology.

…Injured Kapumbu out as Zambia date Uganda today 

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

CHIPOLOPOLO defence kingpin Stoppila Sunzu will be available for todays clash with Uganda at Al-Hamriya Sports Club Stadium after recovering from an injury picked during the 1-0 defeat to Egypt in the first international friendly match played on October 12 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

However, midfielder Kelvin Kapumbu will miss the Uganda clash because he is still nursing the hamstring injury sustained in the match against Egypt.

Sunzu who was excellent against Egypt had suffered a mild concussion which caused some blunt trauma to his head.

The 2012 AFCON winner was taken to hospital after he complained to having a headache as well as pain around his right eye and a sensation of grogginess.

After some light training, Sunzu will be available for selection for the game against Uganda confirmed national team Doctor, Wesley Ngongo.

“As we speak based on the response we have gotten from him (Sunzu) and what we have observed in training, he is scheduled to being available for the match against Uganda. Kapumbu on the other hand, it’s a strain of a hamstring muscle and this one requires a bit more time so he is still on rest at present,” Ngongo said.

With Sunzu being eligible to feature, coach Avram Grant is expected to make changes to his squad which will be seeking redemption after the unfortunate 1-0 defeat to Egypt.

“It is a friendly game. We always want to win every game but this is not the main target, the main target is to try things and improve on the good things we did before and see the shape of the players because next month we have world cup qualifiers,” Grant said.

Meanwhile Chipolopolo captain Lubambo Musonda said the team is in high spirit to perform better against Uganda after the defeat to Egypt.

“We have managed to work on our mistakes, we are learning every time and whatever we did wrong in the last match I’m sure there will be a change, we worked on it in training and we are looking forward to do that,” Musonda said.

“Every game is important especially now when we are preparing for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers and the AFCON in January. I think they will help the team shape up and prepare adequately,” Musonda added.

The Chipolopolo boys will be seeking revenge for the 2-0 defeat suffered the last time they played Uganda in an international friendly match played on January 4, 2021.

The two sides have met eight times in all competitions since 2010 with Zambia having four wins three defeats and one stalemate.

A new artificial intelligence tool provides a fully automated, easy-to-use and objective way to detect and evaluate brain tumors, according to new research published in the October issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Developed for use with amino acid PET scans, the deep learning–based segmentation algorithm can also assess brain tumor patients’ response to treatment with quality comparable to that of an experienced physician, but in a fraction of the time.

A new study by The University of Western Australia has revealed that indoor service workers in the mining industry bear the brunt of the cognitive, productivity and health impacts of extreme heat, when compared to maintenance crew working outdoors.

Scientists from The Universities of Manchester and Auckland have discovered widespread differences in metal levels in the brains of patients with Huntington’s disease, a type of dementia, compared to a control group with healthy tissue.

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence—or AI—has started to revolutionize the world as we know it: some people now ask AI-based chatbots to write essays and summarize documents, others use AI-powered virtual assistants to send messages and control smart-home devices, others leverage the technology for drug discovery and development. Computational neuroscientist Friedemann Zenke uses AI to interrogate how the brain works.
