Hannah Kahn got COVID-19 in mid-November, and expected to get her period shortly after. When it never came, she didn’t think much of it at first. “I was just worried about having COVID-19 and distressed by it,” she said. Additionally, as someone who’s been on birth control for five years, Kahn has experience with missing a period or having it […] Hair dye, perfume, jewelry. Beautifying to most, but for some they are equivalent to rashes, irritation and reduced quality of life. Together with hay fever and food allergies, allergic contact dermatitis due to exposure to e.g. nickel and perfume ingredients represents the majority of allergic reactions seen among Danes. Traditionally, researchers have distinguished between immediate and delayed allergic reactions, depending […] A Skoltech team has developed a model for assessing infection risks for supermarket customers. The researchers believe that their model will help formulate scientifically backed rules for safe shopping during the pandemic. The paper was published in PLOS One. The team included professor Maxim Fedorov, who serves as Skoltech’s Vice President for Artificial Intelligence and Mathematical Modeling, and a research […] California will require that masks be worn at schools when classrooms open this fall, despite new guidance issued Friday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that says vaccinated teachers and students don’t need to wear face coverings inside school buildings. Ahead of new school guidelines expected next week, health officials in California said Friday that requiring face coverings […] Do I need to take precautions at hotels if I’m vaccinated? Most people won’t need to, but it depends on your situation. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the risk of COVID-19 is low if you’re fully vaccinated, and that you can resume indoor and outdoor activities without wearing a mask or social distancing. But if you […] Writing about trauma can affect us profoundly. A 1986 study found that students asked to write about traumatic memories reduced the number of times they visited a health centre for illness, injury, a check-up, psychiatric or other reasons in six months following the study—but that writing about trauma consistently caused emotional and physical upset immediately afterwards. Such unpleasant after-effects are […] Writing about trauma can affect us profoundly.

This is shown for the first time in research from a team of Danish researchers. It is the membrane of cancer cells that is at the focus of the new research now showing a completely new way in which cancer cells […] In a momentous victory last night, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to ban the slaughter of our nation’s equines, supporting the Carter-Fitzpatrick amendment to the INVEST in America Act (H.R. 3864), a sweeping transportation and infrastructure bill. Our deepest thanks go out to Representatives Troy Carter (D-LA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), who eloquently made the case for their popular […] Before the pandemic, 16-year-old Na’ryen Cayou had everything he needed. He had his own room. A partial scholarship to a boys’ prep school. A spot playing trombone in the marching band, performing in parades all over New Orleans. Then covid-19 blew through the Big Easy like a hurricane, washing away nearly everything that helped him feel safe and secure. Schools […]
