I've posted a few articles here on how men and women's symptoms present themselves very differently in heart disease. One research I can't find at the moment that says gender of the ER doctor might affect female patients’ chances of survival. Research shows women are also twice as likely...

Researchers sent engineered heart tissue to the International Space Station and measured how it faired. The study offers a useful means of identifying the molecular pathways behind the detrimental effects of spaceflight on the human heart, says Joseph Wu, a cardiologist at Stanford University...

“The most common symptoms are feeling like prolonged kind of muscle stiffness and discomfort and weakness,” Dr. Shruti Gupta told CNN affiliate WCVB in an interview while explaining more about the condition. “Usually we see these cases more in isolation and so it’s puzzling for it to happen in...

A couple of years ago I considered buying a saline nasal/sinus irrigator (Navage) that is often advertised on tv. A doctor advised to rinse only using filtered or sterilized water. Tap water is safe for drinking because our stomach acid kills any bacteria, but if you use tap water in a nasal...

Rhabdomyolysis is most often caused by direct traumatic injury, but the condition can also be the result of toxins, infections, muscle ischemia, electrolyte and metabolic disorders, exertion or prolonged bed rest. I wonder why there were so many players that came down with this? Is this...

Twelve Tufts University men's lacrosse players were diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a rare and life-threatening muscle disorder, following a 45-minute voluntary workout with a school alum who recently graduated as a Navy SEAL, according to school spokesperson Patrick Collins. The workout, which...

My sister has Hashimoto, her 'brain fog' is brought on by certain foods- mostly carbs.

I lose my appetite during delayed PEM and after overdoing. I feel dehydrated.

Abstract Introduction This study aimed to explore the impact of COVID-19 on strength performance in highly trained athletes. Method A force plate was employed to measure squat jump height (SJH), counter-movement jump height (CMJH), and drop jump reactive strength index (DJRSI) in 27 highly...

The group will work to develop guidance about Long Covid and how psychologists contribute to rehabilitation, treatment and support. Dr Faith Martin, one of the group leads, said: "Around 2 million adults are known to be living with Long Covid in the UK. It is vital that we work with experts...

In the multicenter observational study, conducted across 13 hospitals in Spain and Italy, Dr. Enric Monreal and his team found that elevated serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) levels—a protein indicating nerve cell damage—at the onset of MS can predict both relapse-associated worsening (RAW)...

I can't find the study but does the vagus nerve have any correlation? Is it the missing connection between the hormone epinephrine outside the brain and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine inside the brain? I had an 'autonomic event' during a procedure recently and although I felt...

Justin Carter, 33, nearly died after cardiac event that primarily affects women When Justine Carter stepped on the treadmill for a quick energy boost last May, she never thought it would lead to a near-death experience. The Utah mother, 33, was fit and healthy— but 12 minutes into her walk...

Abstract Background: Hyaluronan is an emerging target for COVID-19 and lung fibrosis. In an open-label study the hyaluronidase bovhyaluronidase azoximer (BA) was associated with improved pulmonary function and exercise tolerance in patients with pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19. In this...

Noravax has been approved by Health Canada. However, due to a contractual dispute between the federal government and Novavax, Health Canada has not committed to provide Novavax access to Canadians.

Health Canada received a submission from Novavax on June 26, 2024. After a thorough scientific review Health Canada has approved the company’s JN.1 Variant vaccine Nuvaxovid (SARS-COV-2 recombinant spike protein) [JN.1 strain] LINK

Abstract Gene drives are genetic modifications designed to propagate efficiently through a population. Most applications rely on homologous recombination during sexual reproduction in diploid organisms such as insects, but we recently developed a gene drive in herpesviruses that relies on...

Now do EBV

ABSTRACT Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a highly prevalent human pathogen that causes a range of clinical manifestations, including oral and genital herpes, keratitis, encephalitis, and disseminated neonatal disease. Despite its significant health and economic burden, there is...
