Death toll from killer coronavirus is 10 TIMES higher than average in China’s Hubei province because thousands of patients with mild symptoms are not seeking help, scientists claim Officials have repeatedly claimed the death toll in China is around two per cent But virologists tracking the outbreak say the case-fatality ratio is higher in Hubei Imperial College London researchers believe […] While autism specialists are crucial in the diagnosis and treatment of children with autism, primary care providers are very often the first to care for children with autism spectrum disorder. Two new studies reveal a range of barriers these clinicians face in recognizing and treating autism symptoms, as well as evidence that an innovative tele-mentoring program—ECHO Autism—helps reduce these barriers.

One of these fatty acids, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is an “essential fat.” Our bodies need ALA to function. However, the […] A study led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reports that a hyperactive variant of enzyme ACOX1 produces elevated levels of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and causes a previously unidentified late-onset neurodegenerative disorder. The team named this new syndrome “Mitchell disease” in reference to the first patient to be diagnosed with this disorder. Experiments using fruit flies revealed […] After the discovery of multi-resistant and potentially life-threatening germs has locked the University hospital of Frankfurt, parts of its intensive care unit.
