Sitting in an office all day could be linked to cardiovascular disease, a new study suggested
Sitting too much linked to heart disease –– even if you work out
BOSTON — Sitting at your desk all day may put you at greater risk for heart disease –– even if you work out in your spare time, according to new research.“Our findings really emphasize the importance of avoiding excess sitting... whether or not you’re physically active,” said first study author Dr. Ezim Ajufo, a cardiology fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.While there is a general understanding that sitting too much is likely bad for your health, there’s a need for more research to understand the exact risks and the guidelines for what qualifies as too much sitting, said Dr. Keith Diaz, associate professor of behavioral medicine at Columbia University Medical Center. He was not involved in the research.This study was particularly helpful in investigating...

Russia's Nauka module is seen docked to the Zvezda module's Earth-facing port on the International Space Station on July 29, 2021. The Soyuz MS-18 crew ship (center) is docked to the Rassvet module
NASA worries space station leaks in Russian module are potentially ‘catastrophic’ 
WASHINGTON — A Russian-controlled segment of the International Space Station is leaking, allowing pressure and air to bleed out. The situation has reached a fever pitch as cosmonauts scramble to patch problem areas and officials from Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, and NASA disagree about the severity of the problem.The football field-size space laboratory must remain pressurized and filled with breathable gases to host a rotating crew of astronauts, which it has done since 2000 in separate but connected Russian and US sections. Problematic leaks were first identified in 2019 in a tunnel that connects a Russian module, called Zvezda, to a docking port that welcomes spacecraft carrying cargo and supplies.But the rate at which the module is bleeding air hit a new high this...

Scientists say the newly discovered coral is in good health
World’s largest coral found in the Pacific
BAKU — The largest coral ever recorded has been found by scientists in the southwest Pacific Ocean.The mega coral — which is a collection of many connected, tiny creatures that together form one organism rather than a reef — could be more than 300 years old.It is bigger than a blue whale, the team say.It was found by a videographer working on a National Geographic ship visiting remote parts of the Pacific to see how it has been affected by climate change.“I went diving in a place where the map said there was a shipwreck and then I saw something,” said Manu San Felix.He called over his diving buddy, who is also his son Inigo, and they dived further down to inspect it.Seeing the coral, which is in the Solomon Islands, was like seeing a "cathedral underwater", he...

Don’t sit on the toilet for more than 10 minutes, doctors warn
By Jocelyn Solis-MoreiraDALLAS — Let’s be honest — people have a habit of bringing their phones to the bathroom. I’ve been guilty of it myself, and chances are that someone is on the toilet reading this article right now. A three-minute trip to the loo can easily turn into 15 minutes of reading, scrolling and posting.It might seem a harmless way to pass the time when you’re going number two. However, experts warn that what they call prolonged sitting on the toilet can harm your health. It’s even been connected to an increased risk of hemorrhoids and weakened pelvic muscles, said Dr. Lai Xue, a colorectal surgeon at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.“When patients present to me with complaints, one of the main areas we have to delve deeply into is...

Voyager 2 captured this image of the planet Uranus during its flyby in 1986
New Uranus research suggests what’s known about the planet could be wrong
PASADENA — When the Voyager 2 spacecraft became the first and only mission to fly by Uranus in 1986, it defined the way astronomers understand the ice giant. But the data collected by the probe also introduced new mysteries that have continued to puzzle scientists in the decades since the historic flyby.Now, a new look at the data has revealed that Voyager 2 happened to zoom by the distant planet during a rare event, which suggests that scientists’ current understanding of the planet may have been shaped — and skewed — by an unusual stellar coincidence.The findings of the study, published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, may have solved some of the riddles created by Voyager 2’s odd Uranus readings.“The spacecraft saw Uranus in conditions that only occur about 4% of the...

A great Indian bustard chick was recently conceived through artificial insemination in India's Rajasthan
Indian experts hail breakthrough in bid to save huge native bird
MUMBAI — Last month brought good news for the great Indian bustard, a critically endangered bird found mainly in India.Wildlife officials in the western state of Rajasthan have performed the first successful hatching of a chick through artificial insemination.A lone adult male in one of two breeding centers in Jaisalmer city was trained to produce sperm without mating, which was then used to impregnate an adult female at the second center some 200km (124 miles) away.Officials said the development was important as it has opened up the possibility of creating a sperm bank.Over the years, habitat loss, poaching and collisions with overhead power lines have effected great Indian bustards. Their numbers have fallen from more than 1,000 in the 1960s to around 150 at present.Most of them are...
