The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved 100 participants aged 65-80 and found that those given the drug performed significantly better on memory and problem-solving tests than the placebo group after 6 months. The drug was found to be safe and well-tolerated with no serious side effects reported.

More than 700 migrants have lost their lives when their overcrowded boat capsized off Libya in a major tragedy this week. The Mediterranean Sea has become a vast watery graveyard for illegal migrants. Italy accuses other countries of not doing enough to stop the flood of illegal immigrants. European Union (EU) countries seem to have decided not to take part in any rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea to save the lives of illegal immigrants. EU fears that rescue operations will encourage more people to opt for the dangerous sea journey in search of a better life and future in its member countries. Because of wars, poverty and political uncertainty, thousands of people in the Middle East and Africa are trying to reach Europe by sea. According to an estimate, 140,000 people have tried to reach Italy and other European countries this year alone. More than 3,500 people have lost their lives during the perilous sea journey to Europe. The UN and the world community are not doing enough to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. Without solving the basic causes, we will not be able to stop illegal immigration.

More than 1.6 million Syrian children are refugees, the United Nations says. An upsurge in fighting has complicated aid efforts and driven some families deeper into despair. Here’s some background on the humanitarian needs in the fourth year of war in Syria. How many people have fled their homes? More than 6.5 million people are internally displaced (IDPs) within Syria, and 3.2 million have fled as refugees to neighboring countries. Does the number of refugees show any sign of slowing? No. On average, more than 100,000 Syrians register as refugees every month. Their main destinations are Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, and Iraq, though conflict in Iraq now discourages that option. The U.N. refugee agency anticipates 3.6 million registered refugees by the end of 2014.

After allowing for loopholes throughout the summer, Hungary effectively disabled its physical border defenses with Austria on 19 August 1989 and, in September, more than 13,000 East German tourists escaped through Hungary to Austria. This set up a chain of events. The Hungarians prevented many more East Germans from crossing the border and returned them to Budapest. These East Germans flooded the West German embassy and refused to return to East Germany. The East German government responded by disallowing any further travel to Hungary, but allowed those already there to return. This triggered a similar incident in neighboring Czechoslovakia. On this occasion, the East German authorities allowed them to leave, provided that they use a train that transited East Germany on the way. This was followed by mass demonstrations within East Germany itself. (See Monday demonstrations in East Germany.) The longtime leader of East Germany, Erich Honecker, resigned on 18 October 1989 and was replaced by Egon Krenz a few days later. Honecker had predicted in January of that year that the wall would stand for 50 or 100 more years if the conditions that had caused its construction did not change.

The damage to Gaza’s infrastructure from the current conflict is more severe than the destruction caused by either of the last two Gaza wars, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) and other organizations with staff on the ground, like Oxfam and Human Rights Watch. The fighting has displaced about a fourth of Gaza’s population. Nearly 60,000 people have lost their homes, and the number of people taking shelter in Unrwa schools is nearly five times as many as in 2009. The cost to Gaza’s already fragile economy will be significant: the 2009 conflict caused losses estimated at $4 billion — almost three times the size of Gaza’s annual gross domestic product.

High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to and make worse many complications of diabetes, including diabetic eye disease and kidney disease. Most people with diabetes develop high blood pressure during their life. Having diabetes makes high blood pressure and other heart and circulation problems more likely because diabetes damages arteries and makes them targets for hardening (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis can cause high blood pressure, which if not treated, can lead to blood vessel damage, stroke, heart failure, heart attack, or kidney failure. Compared to people with normal blood pressure readings, men and women with hypertension more often have: Coronary artery disease (heart disease) Strokes Peripheral vascular disease (hardening of the arteries in the legs and feet) Heart failure

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs that serve several essential regulatory roles in vertebrate animals. They remove excess organic molecules (e.g., glucose) from the blood, and it is by this action that their best-known function is performed: the removal of waste products of metabolism (e.g., urea, though 90% of this is reabsorbed along the nephron.) They are essential in the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation of electrolytes, maintenance of acid–base balance, and regulation of blood pressure (via maintaining salt and water balance). They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove water soluble wastes, which are diverted to the urinary bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete wastes such as urea and ammonium, and they are also responsible for the reabsorption of water, glucose, and amino acids. The kidneys also produce hormones including calcitriol, erythropoietin, and the enzyme renin, the latter of which indirectly acts on the kidney in negative feedback.

Pakistan sealed a historic first series victory over Australia in 20 years after completing a 356-run win in the second Test. Resuming on 143-4 and needing to bat out three sessions to force a draw, Australia, set a 603-run target, folded for 246 in their second innings after lunch on the fifth and final day in Abu Dhabi. Steve Smith missed a fighting hundred by just three runs but added an invaluable 107 in a fifth-wicket stand with Mitchell Marsh, who fell after scoring 47 as the duo defied Pakistan for a major part of the morning session. But Australia lost five wickets in quick succession after lunch and could not avoid a series defeat for the first time since losing 1-0 in Pakistan in 1994. Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar was the pick of the Pakistani bowlers, claiming 5-120 while Yasir Shah took 3-44 as they demolished the tourists on a weary pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. "It's really an honour for me to lead this side, the way everybody played," said Misbah-ul Haq, who equalled the most wins record by a Pakistani captain with 14. Imran Khan and Javed Miandad also won 14 Tests as captains. "Every individual performed and I'm really happy about that. I can't describe my feeling. "We were working really hard and playing good cricket but not winning, so it's really good." Misbah, declared man of the match, set the world record for the fastest half-century and equalled the feat of fastest century in all Test cricket during his 101 not out on Sunday, capping a memorable Test match.

Women's education in Pakistan is a fundamental right of every citizen, according to article thirty-seven of the Constitution of Pakistan, but gender discrepancies still exist in the educational sector. According to the 2011 Human Development Report of the United Nations Development Program, approximately twice as many males as females receive a secondary education in Pakistan, and public expenditures on education amount to only 2.7% of the GDP of the country.

The Khewra Salt Mine (or Mayo Salt Mine) is located in Khewra, north of Pind Dadan Khan, an administrative subdivision of Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan. It is Pakistan's largest and oldest salt mine and the world's second largest. It is a major tourist attraction, drawing up to 250,000 visitors a year.[6][7] Its history dates back to its discovery by Alexander's troops in 320 BC, but it started trading in the Mughal era.[8] The main tunnel at ground level was developed by Dr. H. Warth, a mining engineer, in 1872 during British rule. After independence, the Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation took over the mine, which still remains the largest source of salt in the country, producing more than 350,000 tons per annum[9] of about 99% pure halite. Estimates of the reserves of salt in the mine vary from 82 million tons to 600 million tons.
