Could a PILL prevent COVID-19? An oral vaccine that might also protect against coronavirus variants is being developed by an owner of the LA Lakers Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong, part-owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, is working to develop an oral COVID-19 vaccine Researchers of the Chan Soon-Shiong Research Institute say all three vaccines target the spike protein the virus uses […] FILE PHOTO: Iranian people wear protective face masks, as they walk amid the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in Tehran, Iran March 30, 2021.

Majid Asgaripour/WANA (West Asia News Agency) via REUTERS (Reuters) – Iran passed its daily record of coronavirus infection on Wednesday as cases reached 20,954 – up by more than 3,500 […] A University of Alberta laboratory has uncovered a new approach to preventing heart failure in people with Type 2 diabetes, according to research findings published today in the journal Cell Reports. “We know people with diabetes take drugs for years to control their blood sugars, but the drugs don’t cure their diabetes,” said lead author John Ussher, associate professor in […] For patients with some hard-to-treat blood cancers, a simple “off-the-shelf” immunotherapy is achieving promising results. A clinical trial of the developmental drug Glofitamab has shown it can produce a durable “complete response”—meaning the cancer became undetectable—in patients with relapsed or treatment resistant B-cell lymphomas. One option for these patients is CAR T-cell therapy—also an immunotherapy but one which involves collecting […] PARIS (Reuters) – Several European countries are considering mixing up COVID-19 vaccines for citizens who received a first dose of AstraZeneca’s shot, an unprecedented move that highlights challenges for governments struggling to tame fresh rises in infections.FILE PHOTO: Boxes of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine are seen at a vaccination center, amid the coronavirus disease outbreak, in Ronquieres, Belgium April 6, 2021. […] Building family child care home providers’ (FCCH) self-efficacy—an individual’s belief in their ability to manage their situation—for healthy eating is an important component of health promotion and can buffer the impact of stress on their diet quality, according to a new study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior. “The FCCH provider is an important source of child care […] A new study, released today in the scientific journal Advances in Therapy is providing critical evidence that neurotechnology combined with saliva testing can drastically reduce the likelihood of falsely determining cannabis impairment due to THC residual detection. The independent, blind study, conducted by KGK Science on behalf of Zentrela, confirms that Zentrela’s pioneering neurotechnology is the industry’s most accurate test […] Big-box clubs will bounce back Outdoor fitness Fitness dates Interactive fitness mirrors Female fitness Fight fitness classes Swimming Holistic fitness How to get your Metro newspaper fix Metro newspaper is still available for you to pick up every weekday morning or you can download our app for all your favourite news, features, puzzles… and the exclusive evening edition!

It pointed to stronger than expected associations between Down syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), one type of blood cancer. Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic conditions in the U.S. and Canada. According […] Researchers have uncovered pathways involved in the body's response to glucocorticoid treatments and identified a novel biomarker that could be used to monitor how these drugs work in patients, according to a clinical study published today in eLife. A more reliable indicator of an individual's response to glucocorticoid drugs could be used to develop a clinically applicable test that could […]
