Coronavirus is showing no signs of slowing down. Is Britain prepared for a possible pandemic? How can you avoid getting contaminated with the deadly virus? Public Health England (PHE) state COVID-19 is a new strain of coronavirus first identified in Wuhan City, China. The incubation period of COVID-19 is between two to 14 days. This means that if a person […] A new study provides a first look at how the respiratory illness affects pregnancies. The study evaluated nine pregnant women between the ages of 26 and 40 who were diagnosed with pneumonia caused by COVID-19. The most notable finding was that the virus was not passed from the mother to the fetus in the womb. The new coronavirus has been […] Anemia — also known as iron-poor blood — is a condition that develops when either the blood doesn’t have enough red blood cells or the concentration of hemoglobin in red blood cells is very low. Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. When there are fewer […] (HealthDay)—More than two-thirds of Americans don’t know that heart disease is the leading cause of death among U.S. women, a new survey reveals. Overall, 68% of respondents weren’t aware that heart disease is the top killer of women, but the rate was much higher (80%) among millennials. A large number of respondents mistakenly believed breast cancer is the main cause […] You already know that sleep and exercise both help you keep sickness and disease at bay, feel your best, and maximize your energy day-to-day. But you’re busy, and some days, something has to go: You can either bask in a restorative eight hours of sleep, or squeeze in a late-night or early-morning workout that gets the endorphins flowing, but cuts […] Addressing the widespread concern over transparency and reproducibility in biomedical research, one of the largest institutions in German science has begun to provide a framework, interventions, and incentives for improving the quality and value of translational research. The program is described by its leader, Ulrich Dirnagl of Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), and colleagues in a new article publishing on […] Mutations in a vital class of regulatory molecules are an underappreciated cause of cancer because they impair the function of “G” proteins, a versatile and vast family of signaling switches that underlie innumerable biological facets of life itself. G proteins are so ubiquitous they are said to be involved in everything from sex in yeasts to cognition in humans, report […] Exposed: How NHS doctors are making thousands of pounds by plugging BMWs, deodorant, sun cream and snacks on Instagram Trainee orthopaedic surgeon was allegedly paid £4,000 to urge his 244,000 Instagram followers to eat red meat – with no mention of NHS health guidelines Another who has over 1m followers promoted sun cream, Amazon’s virtual assistant Alexa and BMW sports […] The genetic code of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is only about 30,000 characters long, but what a story it tells. Those nucleotides conceal secrets of the virus’ past, including its origins, its passage among families and its journey to distant ports. They signal how long it has been at large and whether it can hide by infecting people who […] DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: Should I wear gloves and a mask when flying? And why do I wake at 3am every night? Over the past few months I’ve written in this column about everything from natural pain relievers and how magic mushrooms could herald a treatment for drug-resistant depression, to the waning concentration of minerals in vegetables and ways to boost […]
