    Quarter of Depression Cases Linked to Body Clock Malfunction

    A quarter of depression cases may be caused by off-kilter body clocks, according to a large study. This 'circadian depression' responds poorly to standard antidepressants but might be eased by taking melatonin or adopting behavioral strategies. Those with circadian depression tend to have more severe symptoms, an earlier age of onset, and a higher genetic risk for inflammatory and cardiovascular health problems.

    Almaty's Heat Island Problem: Overheating and Health Risks

    Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, is facing a growing heat island problem, with nearly two-thirds of its residents living in areas with high or critical thermal risk. Dense construction, lack of greenery, and weak air movement contribute to this issue, leading to surface temperatures reaching up to 75°C. Residents in new microdistricts struggle with inadequate shade and overheating, with some courtyards usable only late in the evening. Climate modeling shows that further high-rise construction could exacerbate the problem, leading to increased temperatures and reduced ventilation. Experts call for a comprehensive climate policy integrated into urban planning to address these challenges.
