ByJustpaste.in

PATTAYA, Thailand – On July 24th, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., Pattaya City Mayor Poramese Ngamphichet chaired a policy briefing for motivating members of the city’s Surveillance and Rapid Response Team (SRRT) in their work on disease surveillance, prevention and control. The session formed part of a practical workshop for knowledge exchange on preventing and controlling communicable diseases.

The event was held in the Thappraya Meeting Room at Pattaya City Hall. Among those present were Deputy Mayor Wuthisak Roemkijakarn, members of the mayor’s secretariat, the president and members of the Pattaya City Council, assistant secretaries, heads of relevant government departments and officials, as well as SRRT team members from across the city.

Following the mayor’s policy address, SRRT members presented flowers to congratulate the city administration. The gathering also included birthday wishes for team members born in June and July 2026, along with the presentation of compensation payments to the SRRT members as a gesture of encouragement. The atmosphere was warm and lively.

Mayor Poramese stated that the Pattaya SRRT serves as a rapid-response disease surveillance network covering four zones and every community within the city. He described the team as a vital component in strengthening public health, particularly given Pattaya’s status as a major tourist destination. In the event of emerging diseases that could spread to the city or Thailand, the SRRT would play a key role in monitoring and response, working in coordination with the Disease Prevention and Control Division under the Public Health Office.

The mayor noted that Pattaya City organises ongoing practical workshops of this kind. Activities during the session included reports on the current situation of diseases under surveillance, demonstrations on the proper use of face masks, selection of mosquito-repellent lotions, basic first aid, CPR techniques, use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and joint discussion of operational plans for the 2027 fiscal year. Participants also reflected on challenges in local disease prevention and control efforts.

The goal, he said, is to strengthen the SRRT network so it can proactively address disease and health threats for the public, advancing Pattaya toward becoming a sustainably healthy city.

In their messages on World Hepatitis Day, both leaders stressed the need for sustained action, public awareness and collective efforts to control the spread of hepatitis and protect people from its serious health consequences. President Asif Ali Zardari said Pakistan remains among the countries most affected by hepatitis C, making it essential for the government, healthcare institutions and the public to work together to address the challenge. He emphasized that greater awareness, preventive measures and timely diagnosis can play a key role in reducing the burden of the disease.

    Time-restricted eating may boost brain health

    ByJustpaste.in

      A recent study suggests that limiting daily meals to an eight- to nine-hour eating window may help support brain health, particularly in older women. The findings were presented at NUTRITION 2026, the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition, and are currently considered preliminary because the research has not yet been peer-reviewed. Scientists from Rutgers University found that women aged 50 to 79 who followed time-restricted eating while maintaining a calorie deficit performed better on certain cognitive tests than those who spread their meals over a typical 12-hour period. The six-month study included 47 overweight or obese women, all of whom reduced their daily calorie intake by about 500 calories. Of the participants, 26 consumed all of their meals within an average 8.2-hour window, while the remaining women ate over an average 12.3-hour period. Both groups lost nearly 15 pounds on average by the end of the study. However, the women who followed the shorter eating window performed better in spatial planning and problem-solving tasks. They also made fewer errors on learning and memory tests, although those improvements were not statistically significant. Researchers found no noticeable differences in reaction time or multitasking abilities. Lead researcher Dr. Sue Shapses, a professor at Rutgers University and Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, said the findings suggest that meal timing may provide additional cognitive benefits beyond weight loss alone. She explained that finishing meals about four hours before bedtime and limiting eating to an eight- or nine-hour daily window may help reduce age-related cognitive decline. Researchers believe these benefits could be linked to the body’s circadian rhythm, metabolism, inflammation, and nutrient-sensing pathways, although more research is needed to confirm these effects. Experts cautioned that the findings should be interpreted carefully because the study involved a relatively small number of participants and has not yet undergone peer review. The researchers emphasized that larger and longer-term studies are needed to determine whether time-restricted eating can significantly improve long-term brain health and cognitive function. Until further evidence becomes available, the results provide encouraging but preliminary insights into how meal timing may influence healthy brain aging.
