More than 30 candidate vaccines for COVID-19 have reached human trials since the pandemic began only months ago. But given that most vaccines take years to develop, how will we know that the first coronavirus vaccine to earn approval is safe and effective enough for widespread use? Experts told Live Science that all candidate COVID-19 vaccines must pass through […] A dyslexic harpist who struggled to read music has invented a new harp with rainbow strings and matching coloured sheet music to help her play. Morwenna Louttit-Vermaat, 34, always struggled to learn to read music but discovered it was easier if she put colour coded stickers on her harp. Now Morwenna and husband Craeg, 35, both from Gloucestershire, have created […] Health agencies now have better access to the Department of Health and Human Services’ data following a year-long data initiative focused on information sharing. The HHS partnered with the Center for Open Data Enterprise to hold a series of roundtable discussions aimed at improving the ways agencies within the department share, integrate, analyze and visualize federated data to better inform […] Being single and living alone undeniably has its perks, but being single and living alone as an immunocompromised person during the coronavirus pandemic has forced me to quarantine solo, which means I’ve been sexually inactive for almost four months.

While thinking about […] A new report published by U.N. agencies reveals that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic could cause up to 132 million people to go hungry in 2020. The findings were published in latest version of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World study, which is renewed annually by U.N. agencies, including the World Health Organization and UNICEF. "Almost 690 […] A new method developed at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) uses DNA sequencing to efficiently map long-range connections between different regions of the brain. The approach dramatically reduces the cost of mapping brain-wide connections compared to traditional microscopy-based methods. Neuroscientists need anatomical maps to understand how information flows from one region of the brain to another. “Charting the cellular connections […] COVID-19 researchers the world over face a daunting task of sifting through tens of thousands of existing coronavirus studies, looking for commonalities or data that might help in their urgent biomedical investigations. To accelerate the filtering of relevant information, Sandia National Laboratories has assembled a combination of data mining, machine-learning algorithms and compression-based analytics to bring the most useful data […] Hüftfett can protect against metabolic and cardiovascular diseases Excess fat is generally considered unhealthy, but today, it is clear that, in particular, the so-called visceral fat (belly fat) has adverse health effects. The fat on the hips and thighs, however, can have according to newer studies also have positive health effects by, for instance, protects against cardiovascular diseases and metabolic […] Impaired intimacy, satisfaction, and infidelity in a romantic relationship can fuel Interpersonal Electronic Surveillance (IES).

Lead author Katherine Hertlein, Ph.D., University of Nevada, […] Visceral fat is stored below the surface, near vital organs such as the liver and intestines. This makes the threat highly unstable – if it veers too close to its neighbour, it could interfere with vital bodily processes. In fact, it is well understood that visceral fat, also known as belly fat, is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular […]
