[ad_1] Humans have never been considered a source of virus, and human-to-animal transmission of viruses has received far less attention, revealed an analysis of viral genomes by researchers at the University College London. “When animals catch viruses from humans, this can not only harm the animal and potentially pose a conservation threat to the…
[ad_1] Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be a concerning health issue, especially for women. These infections occur when bacteria enter the urinary system, causing discomfort and potentially leading to more severe complications if left untreated. Common symptoms include a persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. While easily…

Timely consultation with a pulmonologist or lung expert is crucial, especially when severe symptoms like difficulty breathing arise. While there is no home treatment for pneumonia,…
[ad_1] While most people infected with COVID-19 have milder symptoms and recover within a few weeks, the global pandemic produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to pose a substantial health risk. Some of the individuals affected may develop more severe sickness and pneumonia, often resulting in a more unfavourable prognosis. Although protocols have been…
[ad_1] Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute found that the AHR aryl hydrocarbon receptor is a protein found at barrier sites like the gut and the lung. The natural molecules in these cruciferous vegetables are dietary ‘ligands’ for AHR, which means, once eaten, they activate AHR to target a number of genes. Some of…
[ad_1] Influenza infection could more accurately predict if an individual would develop symptoms than current methods which primarily rely on antibody levels, according to a study. The study found certain immune cells were associated with increased protection, while other immune cells were associated with increased susceptibility to developing symptoms after catching the virus. “We’ve…
[ad_1] Although infections can induce a number of symptoms, one common symptom is the loss of fat and muscle, a process known as wasting. Salk researchers wanted to know if wasting may help them fight diseases. Researchers in Professor Janelle Ayres’ lab discovered the wasting response to T brucei infection in mice occurs in two…
[ad_1] During the monsoon season, filthy feet, edoema around the nail folds, and fungul infections are the most prevalent foot issues. Extreme water exposure keeps feet wet and susceptible to infections and fissures. In conversation with Zee English, Dr Shireen Furtado, Sr. Consultant, Medical and Cosmetic Dermatology, Aster CMI Hospital shares the signs, symptoms and tips…
