The findings were reported in the “Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.” Eating out is a popular activity globally, and while not much research has been done into its link with health outcomes, the conclusion warrants further study on the matter.

Researchers Find Evidence Suggesting That Coronavirus Can Cause Type 2 Diabetes

A group of scientists from Monash University and King’s College London has developed a database of information that may help researchers find the link between type 2 diabetes and the coronavirus. The group designed the database for the following reasons: first, the increasing evidence that suggests that the coronavirus can actually cause individuals to become diabetic, and second, when compared to the general population, individuals who have type 2 diabetes are more likely to experience serious coronavirus symptoms and to die from the disease. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that impacts the way the body processes blood sugar.…

Researchers Create Lab-Made Heart Valves That Grow with Patient

A recent study led by researchers from the University of Minnesota, both from the College of Science and Engineering and the Medical School, demonstrated how heart valves that were developed in the lab and infixed in young lambs for a year could grow in the recipient. When tested in the same lamb model, the researchers found that the valves demonstrated decreased calcification and better flow of blood function in comparison with valves derived from animals. If those results are confirmed in humans, these heart valves may help prevent multiple valve replacement surgeries for children born annually with heart defects. Additionally,…
