Eating Too Many Eggs Increases Risk of Developing Diabetes

Globally, some of the most popular breakfast food includes eggs, be it boiled, poached or scrambled. However, new research shows that excessive consumption of eggs may increase your risk of diabetes. The longitudinal study, which was conducted by researchers from the University of South Australia in collaboration with Qatar University and China Medical University, was carried out between 1991 and 2009. This was the first study to evaluate the consumption of eggs in a large number of Chinese adults. The study discovered that individuals who consumed one or more eggs on a regular basis, which is equivalent to 50 grams,…

California Researchers Develop Face Mask That Can Kill Viruses Once Exposed to the Sun

A team of Californian researchers has developed a cotton fabric that can release oxygen species that are reactive (ROS). The fabric does this when exposed to daylight, which kills microbes that are attached to the cotton fabric’s surface. The fabric is also washable, making it reusable and safe for its wearer. This research was reported in “The American Chemical Society Applied Materials & Interfaces” journal. This news comes at a time when face masks being used are made from different cloth materials that filter tiny aerosol particles like those that are released by a sneeze or a cough. This leaves…

Logistical Concerns Arise Over Extremely Low Temperatures Needed for COVID-19 Vaccine Storage

A few days ago, Pfizer announced that it had developed a coronavirus vaccine that had proven to be 90% effective in combating the virus in trials. However, to maintain the vaccine’s efficacy, the vaccine needs to be stored and transported at temperatures below -70º Celsius. An infectious disease and vaccine specialist, Professor Gordon Dougan, from the University of Cambridge, explains that most vaccines are usually stored around or at 4° Celsius. This, he says, is an easy temperature requirement for refrigerated transport. However, the temperature requirements for the coronavirus vaccine, which are extreme, suggest that refrigeration methods that have been…

Physical Fitness in Children is More Important Than BMI

A new study by the University of Georgia has shown that while grown-ups exercise mostly to lose weight, children should exercise to build endurance, or how well their bodies can handle long periods of exercise. Physical education for children should be centered on motivating children to be active, educating them on the benefits of exercise and improving their physical skills. According to the authors of the study, strengthening children’s cardiorespiratory endurance should be the main goal in exercise for children. Even children who are overweight can still achieve the recommended one hour of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.…

Gene Marker Suggests Likelihood of Prostate Cancer Metastasizing

Researchers have found a genetic signature that can forecast whether cancer is likely to metastasize or spread in the early stages of localized prostate cancer. The signature can also predict whether the disease will respond to anti-androgen therapy. In addition, the new signature may be beneficial in helping evaluate the disease’s response to treatment as well as creating new treatments to treat or avert the advanced stages of prostate cancer. This groundbreaking study was reported in “Nature Cancer.” A professor of cell biology and pathology in Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, Cory-Abate-Shen, senior author of the study, states that if…

Social Distancing Spikes Loneliness Among Older People

According to a new study by researchers from the University of Stirling, the social distancing measures introduced to help contain the coronavirus infection has affected the well-being of Scotland’s older population, increasing their feelings of loneliness. The study discovered a connection between the worsening health and well-being of individuals over 60 years and the growth in loneliness. The research determined that increased loneliness was linked to a decrease in well-being, lower social support and a small social network. The research was launched earlier in May under the Scottish government’s rapid research in coronavirus program. A professor of the University’s Faculty…

Biodegradable Implantable Sensors Can Monitor Body Functions

Using biodegradable materials, an international team of scientists has designed a flexible gas sensor that is highly sensitive and can be implanted in the human body. The sensor, which monitors a patient’s condition during and after medical procedures, biodegrades safely after its use has been exhausted and is absorbed by the body. This is a much better sensor than the sensors currently in use. The current sensors are not only expensive, but they can also be dangerous and uncomfortable. Researchers designed this implantable sensor that can monitor different forms of nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide gas in the body. These…
