Coronavirus is still contagious. Don’t let the relaxation of lockdown measures fool you. You may catch the disease. Do you have it? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have a more exhausted list of symptoms than the NHS. For instance, the NHS lists three possible main symptoms of coronavirus. These are: a high temperature, a new, continuous cough […] A new synthetic opioid known as “iso” is causing an increasing number of opioid overdose deaths. Isotonitazene is a synthetic version of etonitazene. Experts say it’s rapidly becoming more popular in the illegal drug market in the United States. They add that the drug is difficult to detect on standard opioid tests. An addictive drug that — like fentanyl — […] A study published online as an accepted paper in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that increased physical activity is associated with a lower risk of obstructive sleep apnea, a common sleep-related breathing disorder. The study is the largest to date focused on the relationship between sleep apnea and levels of physical activity in the general community. Researchers reviewed […] Yoga is a popular fitness trend at the moment, with frustrated Brits turning to the ancient Indian practice to take away their worries. Here’s what you need to know about losing weight from yoga. Can yoga help you lose weight? Scientific research is increasingly showing the link between yoga and weight loss. How many calories you burn depends on the […] Using virtual agents to offload human work and support customers’ needs is nothing new. Think of the process of calling your cable company to inquire about service outages: You will almost certainly be met with an automated number-based menu, along with the invitation to “listen carefully, as our options have changed.” The difference today, say experts, is that the agents […] Julian Menezes dons a gown, gloves and face shield and steps into a patient’s room. Then he sits. His job is, simply, to be there—to accompany the sick. The Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH), where Julian works, has treated over 300 confirmed COVID-19 cases since March. It is one of the busiest designated COVID-19 centres in Montréal, the city weathering by […] The human tendency to make thinking a little easier by using external objects or actions—known as cognitive offloading—begins at an early age, according to research from The University of Queensland. UQ School of Psychology Ph.D. candidate Kristy Armitage said the study identified the developmental origins of the practice. “We often use cognitive offloading to simplify some tasks, such as turning […] New findings by researchers led by TU Graz computer scientists Wolfgang Maass and Robert Legenstein on neural information processing in the brain could enable more efficient AI methods. Specifically, the researchers have succeeded in mathematically modeling the emergence and interaction between so-called “assemblies”. These are neuron groups in the brain that form the basis for higher cognitive abilities such as […] Two researchers at the University of California, Davis, are adapting their technology for amyloid-based, self-organizing protein scaffolds to combat coronavirus. They hope the technique could be used in diagnostic tests or for virus-neutralizing masks and other protective equipment. Daniel Cox, professor of physics, and Michael Toney, professor of chemistry, are inventors of a patented technique for using beta amyloid proteins […] We’re here to help. We understand how difficult it can be to lose a loved one, and that it’s especially so in these challenging times. The grieving process is already worsened for those who have lost someone due to the coronavirus and not been able to say goodbye. But a funeral is a very personal event, and while current Government […]
