Rachel Feltman: On Monday, listener. For American scientific‘s Science quicklyI’m Rachel Feltman. We will start receiving the last news of the last news of science.

Feltman: First of all, we received a quick update by one of us Sciam Correspondents. On January 20, the President Donald Trump signed an executive command indicating the intention to extract the US from the World Health Organization or OM. Here is a senior editor that deals with Tanya Lewis, health and medicine American scientific.

Ask Lewisi: The World Health Organization is the United Nations Agency. It was founded in 1948 and has almost 200 Member States. It has a relatively wide area to expand their access to health care worldwide to respond to disease appearances and pandemas.
So Trump gave an executive command that he intended to get out of Om, but the whole process takes a year. He tried to do this during his last tenure, but his path back before entering into force.
Trump said he believes that the organization believes that the organization is poorly managed by Covid Pandemia and the US pays an unfair part of the agency’s funding. It is true that we pay the most among all members of the country, but most of our contributions are voluntary and focus on specific projects.

Lewis: WHO is not perfect. He made significant mistakes in the pandemic. For example, the agency initially rejected the opportunity to reach the air in the air, and it was very slow to direct this idea, but it was still important to help countries to send information to countries and get vaccines and treatments against the disease. .
The OM has a very wide power, which is arguably difficult to achieve any goal, and in the end, he has no power to enforce rules in his Member States.
Being part of the USA means that the US gets a seat at the table to find out how to manage major health challenges in the world, and experts told me that if we leave the gap that China will probably fill. The OM shares important data and information with its Member States, such as the genetic sequence of Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covida. Our CDC and other health agencies can meet some of these gaps, but the usual withdrawal will certainly have a significant impact and in other countries. Global global communication will be especially important if we face a pandemic of the bird flu, which involves a growing threat here in the US.
Many Member States of the OM are low or medium-income countries, which are based on the specialization of the public health of the US scientists, as they do not have a strong CDC. These countries may be much more difficult to address disease appearances or improve access to health care. And though the OM seems to be much more than the opposite of the US, it is very important to be part of these major world-language conversations about public health threats, because one thing we learned from Covid’s pandemia. We do not know that viruses and diseases are not friendly, and we do not know which threats around the world, we will not be able to protect the Americans at home.
Feltman: Thank you for the explanation, Tanya. We will follow this listener, science and health, and other orders will continue as we move forward.
Now let us forget about a few minutes of the space in space for a minute.

Feltman: Last Tuesday scientists Publication in the magazine Astronomy and astrophysics He described an exoplanet with a wind speed that is embarrassed by our solar system. Wasp-127b, which is 520 light-year, Jet-Stream has supersonic winds unlike what we have seen first. At the equator of the planet, the wind moves about 20,100 miles per hour. Although other exoplanets are found with faster wind speeds for the atmosphere, this is the fastest jet current that surrounds a whole planet, according to Reuters. For context Jet currents on our planet Sometimes it can do more than 275 miles per hour. And the fastest winds of Neptune, believed to have the strongest winds in our solar system, can exceed 1,100 kilometers per hour.
Wasp-127b is a kind of giant gas known as “hot jupiter”, which means that such a relatively close to his host. The windy world is a larger third than Jupiter, but it only has about 16 percent of the mass; So it’s pretty smooth. Also, one side looks at his sun forever in a clear day. In fact, one of the authors of the study told Reuters to say that this hard radiation gives the main energy source for those living winds.
We returned to the ground a disturbing bird flu update. January 17th He announced the US Food and Drug Administration Pet food manufacturers for new policies and regulations among household cats in the face of death or disease. H5n1 homemade and wild cat cases have been associated with the raw food in Colorado, Washington, Oregon and California, according to the agency. According to the CDC and American Veterinary Medical Association, cooked and pasteurized pet foods are the safest options, especially considering the occurrence of bird flu. But the FDA requires cat and dog food manufacturers that use raw birds or cows to develop and implement food security plans that take into account H5N1.

Feltman: For some animals, a bird flu infection may have serious consequences. Dogs generally suffer than they are infected with H5N1 with only light diseases, cats can have crisis and blindness. Now, there is no evidence of that today Cats can transmit bird fluBut although the risk of that jump is very low, it is not zero, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Of course, you have much greater risk if you take yourself raw milk and non-pasteous products. But if you worry about changing your purchase habits, yes or your pets, the good news is that there is no evidence that gross milk gives health benefits for humans; Not at least you wouldn’t get pasteurized drinking. Dairy and small animal veterinarian associations says the same thing happens with raw meat of cats and dairy.
In other news about health, two new research offers advice on dealing with surgery and serious diseases. An article published on Tuesday British Sports Medicine Journal How to focus on physical condition can improve results in cancer treatment. The article reviewed the previous 42 studles with almost 47,000 patients, found that muscle force It was associated with a significant significant death risk, and high-hearted heart training had a similar link. Researchers say that tailor-made strength workouts and other training programs to promote better results for cancer patients.

Feltman: Another one Research published last Wed Bmj He studied the importance of prehabilitation, prehab. It is likely that you know the idea of rehabilitation: Physical therapy and support you can receive after a certain type of surgery. Prehab can access people with food support, exercise guidance, cognitive training and other services that may be helpful before an anticipated surgery.
According to the new study, more than 15,000 patients have reviewed more than 18,000 clinical trials involved, prehab is consistent with the provisions of surgery results. Researchers say that the effects of the exercise-based prehab programs are particularly significant. And although researchers require more research, what kind of prehabs are most efficient and why, as the main author of the research stated in a press release, it is always advisable to ask your doctor about pre-conference. options.
Okay, let’s end with a fun note. You have heard a contagious laugh and probably a contagious yawn. But what do you say with contagious pee?
at once Research published last week Current biologyResearchers at Kyoto University of Japan described a social phenomenon of unusual chimpanzees. After spending more than 600 hours of animals, the researchers concluded that the chinches have seen if chintxos are greater probability to pee. The effect increased if the channels were physically closer to each other.

Feltman: Researchers also noticed that the social level of the chimpanze seemed to have affected the condition of the urine: low-level chimpanzees are likely to copy the bathroom behavior of high-level spans. And I tell him: “Hey!” Sorry.
All this for the collection of news on this week. We will return on Wednesday to talk about the sun science. And on Friday we will talk about an expert in human behavior.
