New Study Suggests That Where You Live May Influence Reproductive Health

A recent study conducted by University of Nottingham researchers suggests that the environment in which men inhabit could impact their reproductive health. The study, which was reported in “Scientific Reports,” examined the impact of geographical location on chemicals discovered in testes of dogs. Some of these chemicals have been found to influence reproductive health. The study centered on dogs because they are common pets and are usually exposed to the same chemicals used in the house as their owners because they live in the same environment. The group of researchers also searched for any signs of abnormalities in the dogs’…

Researchers Discover Children with Down Syndrome Face Higher Risk of Leukemia

A large-scale study conducted by researchers from UC San Francisco and UC Davis Health has found that Down syndrome is a high-risk factor for childhood leukemia. The study, which evaluated the leukemia risk in children suffering from Down syndrome, was reported in the “Journal of Pediatrics.” It found a strong link between acute myeloid leukemia, which is a type of blood cancer, and Down syndrome. Down syndrome, among the most prevalent genetic conditions in Canada and the United States, affects roughly 6,000 infants born annually in the two countries. That equates to roughly one in every 750 babies born in…

Study Finds That Sugar Compromises Brain Development in Children

A recent study conducted by a faculty member from the University of Georgia, in partnership with a team of researchers from the University of Southern California, has found that the daily consumption of beverages sweetened with sugar during adolescence damages performance on a memory and learning task during adulthood. The group of researchers demonstrated that changes in the bacteria found in the gut could be the key to the memory impairment caused by sugar. High-sugar diets have also been associated with health effects such as heart disease and obesity as well as impaired memory function. The research, published in “Translational…

Researchers Find New Way to Categorize COVID-19 Patients

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School and their colleagues has found three phenotypes of the novel coronavirus, which demonstrate distinct characteristics as well as different clinical outcomes, complications and comorbidities in patient populations. The three COVID-19 phenotypes were discussed in detail in the researchers’ study, which was reported in the open-access “PLOS ONE” journal. The coronavirus has infected more than 18 million individuals as well as led to the death of more than 700,000 people across the globe. The disease’s presentation varies considerably, which suggests that not only do distinct clinical phenotypes exist,…
