Amid much speculation and research about how our genetics affect the way we age, a University of California, Berkeley, study now shows that individual differences in our DNA matter less as we get older and become prone to diseases of aging, such as diabetes and cancer. In a study of the relative effects of genetics,

Signage is seen outside of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) headquarters in White Oak, Maryland, August 29, 2020. Andrew Kelly | Reuters The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved a vaccine for use in the third trimester of pregnancy to prevent whooping cough in newborn infants. The vaccine, called Boostrix, is made by
Rather than requiring minimum amounts of nutrients to encourage, which critics say has tended to encourage fortified junk food rather than a switch to a healthier dietary pattern, the proposed rule reflects “current nutrition science and the Dietary Guidelines” by requiring foods to contain a certain amount of food (a ‘food group equivalent’) from at least one

En el 70º cumpleaños de Vladimir Putin, el comité del premio Nobel ha reconocido la labor de tres activistas que luchan contra el mandatario ruso y contra los regímenes pro-Putin. El Nobel de la Paz ha recaído en el activista bielorruso encarcelado Ales Bialiatski, en la organización rusa de derechos humanos Memorial y en el
A simple screening tool based on cough, wheeze, and medication use flagged asthma risk in 3-year-olds with greater accuracy than standard strategies, researchers reported. The CHILDhood Asthma Risk Tool (CHART) outperformed specialists’ assessments and the modified Asthma Predictive Index (mAPI) for predicting asthma diagnosis by age 5 in one cohort and was validated for prediction
Financial incentives to encourage home dialysis may be falling flat, according to a first-year analysis of Medicare’s End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Treatment Choices (ETC) Model. Compared with controls, ESRD facilities and managing clinicians practicing within a hospital referral region randomized to receive financial incentives only increased the number of new patients with home dialysis in
CNN — Covid-19 vaccinations could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars this winter. A new analysis suggests that if more people in the United States get their booster by the end of the year, about 90,000 Covid-19 deaths could be prevented this fall and winter. But if booster vaccinations continue at their current
Yesterday, Jo Hargroves from University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust won the ‘Excellence in Cancer Research Nursing Award’ at the Royal College of Nursing’s annual Nursing Awards – the only award in the UK to recognise research nurses working on cancer trials and studies. We hear from Jo and the other shortlisted nurses about
Vivian James Rigney is no casual traveler. The executive coach and speaker has visited more than 80 countries and lived on three continents. He’s also climbed the highest mountains on all seven continents, the so-called Seven Summits. It’s a feat that took him 14 years — one, he estimates, that fewer than 1,000 people have
One in four expectant mothers are reluctant to share their pregnancy news for fear of the stigma that they may face The discovery of a pregnancy is often a cause for joy and celebration as parents look forward to the start of a new chapter of their lives. But among the happiness, a study from
A team of researchers working with the CHILD Cohort Study (CHILD) has developed a simple new symptom-based screening tool that detects asthma risk in children as young as two years of age. The efficacy of the tool-;the CHILDhood Asthma Risk Tool, or CHART-;is detailed in a study published in the highly influential Journal of the
Taking care of our skin is vital, but making sure that what we’re putting on it is completely safe, is even more important.
