Do pregnant women with COVID-19 pass pass antibodies to their babies? Little was known until now. A study presented at the 2021 Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s (SMFM) annual meeting, The Pregnancy Meeting™, unveiled findings that suggest women who contract COVID-19 during pregnancy make antibodies, but that transfer of these antibodiesRead
An international team of researchers report that the management of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, the leading causes of death worldwide, requires lifestyle management at the individual level and widespread change in strategic health policies, especially once COVID-19 has subsided. According to the World Health Organization, non-communicable diseases (NCDs),Read
Researchers with the Fatty Acid Research Institute (FARI) and collaborators at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and in Orange County, CA, have published a small study showing that higher omega-3 blood levels may reduce risk for death from COVID-19 infection. The report was published in the journal Prostaglandins, LeukotrienesRead
As virus variants emerge, physicians and the public are increasingly concerned. A study led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) suggests that T cells try to fight SARS-CoV-2 by targeting a broad range of sites on the virus — beyond the key sites on the virus’s spikeRead
Rapid, sensitive diagnosis of COVID-19 is essential for early treatment, contact tracing and reducing viral spread. However, some people infected with SARS-CoV-2 receive false-negative test results, which might put their and others’ health at risk. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Nano Letters have developed ultra-absorptive nanofiber swabs that could reduceRead
Among paleo and keto food followers, coconut oil is often the preferred fat of choice, although its alleged health benefits remain controversial because less is known about how the body metabolizes medium-chain fatty acids. Published in the journal Molecular Metabolism, scientists at the University of Bonn showed how coconut oilRead
Age related eye disorders, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment (RD) are a major contributors to isolation and loss of quality of life. Though each disease is distinct, the separation of photoreceptors from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) or a loss of functional RPE. Eventual photoreceptorRead
