New Study: Brain Pollution Caused by Lack of Sleep

Saba Yemen23-06-2025
Moscow - Saba:
A group of scientists has identified how the brain "cleanses" itself to maintain human health and vitality, helping to prevent dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and related conditions.
According to Russia's Sputnik news agency, the health-focused website Health Digest reported on Monday that "brain pollution results from lack of sleep, and proper, sufficient sleep is the correct way to cleanse the brain, protecting humans from dementia."
The medical report explained that "sleep deprivation leads to memory lapses, reduced motivation for daily routines, and weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to colds and flu."
The website cited a 2021 study involving over 8,000 people, starting in middle age and followed for 25 years. It found that those who slept less than six hours in middle age had a 22% to 37% higher risk of dementia compared to those who got at least seven hours of sleep.
The report noted that without adequate sleep, the brain lacks the opportunity to clear out substances like beta-amyloid proteins, which accumulate during the day.
Additionally, the report stated that "during sleep, the brain activates a specialized waste-clearing system. Just as the lymphatic system removes toxins from the rest of the body, the brain relies on the glymphatic system to eliminate substances that could become toxic over time."

Moscow - (Saba): Dmitry Bakanov, head of Roscosmos, announced that the agency plans to build the first nuclear power plant on the Moon and work on exploring Venus. Sputnik news agency quoted Bakanov, speaking on the Telegram channel about the projects Roscosmos is working on, as saying: "The tasks assigned to our agency include the creation of a new Russian orbital station to replace the International Space Station." He continued: "Establishing the first nuclear power plant on the surface of the Moon to serve as the basis for future lunar bases... We also plan to explore Venus, as we are the only country to have launched a spacecraft and landed on this planet." He added: "We also plan to expand our satellite constellation to increase the speed of satellite broadband internet and ensure coverage of all parts of our country with these services. We also plan to increase the accuracy of the GLONASS navigation system and improve the capabilities of domestic rockets and spacecraft." He concluded: "Great goals lie ahead. We must implement projects that require courage, broad thinking, and engineering genius." Russia and China have announced plans to build a scientific station on the Moon in cooperation with several countries. In 2021, the Russian space agency Roscosmos signed an agreement with China to this effect. As part of the station project, China is expected to send a satellite. Chang'e-6, Chang'e-7, and Chang'e-8 will also be launched to the Moon. Russia is also expected to launch several lunar orbiters and lunar surface exploration vehicles. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

"Rosatom" Plans to Launch New-Generation Fast Neutron Reactor in 2030

Moscow - (Saba): Alexei Likhachev, CEO of the Russian state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom, announced on Tuesday that the company plans to launch a unique, new, fourth-generation fast-neutron reactor in 2030. Likhachev said, according to Sputnik, "A unique project is the construction of a fourth-generation nuclear power plant in Seversk (Tomsk Oblast)... In 2030, we will launch a 300-megawatt fast nuclear reactor, the world's first fourth-generation power plant." Earlier, Likhachev said that Rosatom maintains Russia's "nuclear shield" at an appropriate level so that no one would consider using weapons against Russia. Likhachev indicated that the company is ready to cooperate with the United States on uranium supplies unless a different decision is made. "We will be present on the European market in one way or another, and we will cooperate with the United States in uranium supplies unless another decision is made," Likhachev said.
