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…
