Or they can close, preventing blood from passing through. Sometimes, abnormal new blood vessels grow on the retina. All these changes steal your vision.

Autism sleep problems

healthy PIG

A good night's sleep isn't guaranteed for anyone, but it's downright elusive for many people with autism. People on the spectrum often have difficulty falling and staying asleep. This may worsen some of their conditions, such as repetitive behaviors, which can make sleep more difficult. Given this destructive feedback loop, sleep issues are one of the most pressing concerns for families struggling with autism. But it also happens to be one of the least researched aspects of autism so far. Here's what researchers know so far about the causes, consequences, and treatments for sleep problems in autism.

An overview of the effects of e-cigarettes on human health

healthy PIG
Considered a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes for many, e-cigarettes have revolutionized the tobacco industry over the past few decades. In e-cigarettes, the burning of tobacco is replaced by the heating of e-liquid, leading some manufacturers to suggest that e-cigarettes have less harmful effects on the respiratory system than tobacco consumption. Other innovative features such as nicotine content adjustment and pleasant flavor selection have won the favor of many users. However, the safety of e-cigarette consumption and its potential as a method of smoking cessation remains controversial due to limited evidence. Furthermore, the heating process itself has been reported to lead to the formation of new decomposition compounds of questionable toxicity. Extensive in vivo and in vitro studies have been conducted to better understand the effects of these novel inhalable compounds on human health. Toxicological analysis results show that e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes, although short-term use of e-cigarettes can have harmful effects. Worryingly, little research has been done on the potential long-term effects of e-cigarette consumption.

The long-term safety and health effects associated with vaping and exposure to secondhand vapor remain unknown. If e-cigarettes contain nicotine, they may pose a high risk of dependence and tolerance, just like tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes are often promoted as a way to quit smoking, but there is insufficient evidence to support this. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that look and feel like cigarettes, cigars, pens, or other common items, but they do not burn tobacco.

Vacuum frying machine

healthy PIG
The vacuum fryer is a frying equipment installed in a vacuum chamber. Vacuum fryers are suitable for processing lower quality potatoes with higher than normal sugar content, as they usually have to be processed in the spring and early summer before a new harvest is available. Through vacuum frying, it is easier to maintain the natural color and flavor of the finished product. Due to the lower temperature used, around 130 °C, the formation of the suspected carcinogen acrylamide is significantly lower than in standard atmospheric fryers, where the frying temperature is around 170 °C. The product also reportedly has a lower fat absorption rate than atmospheric fryers. In Southeast Asia, intermittent vacuum fryers are mainly used for the production of fruit slices. However, these machines are only suitable for relatively small production companies.
