A recently published review finds a significant link between hay fever and a raised risk of anxiety and depression in adolescents. They also appear to be more impulsive and have less resistance to stress. Hay fever is more than just an itch. Allergies, such as hay fever, affect an estimated 50 million people in the
A person can be allergic to almost any food. While carrots are nutritious and packed with beta carotene, these root vegetables can also cause dangerous allergic reactions. An allergic reaction to carrots can be one element of oral allergy syndrome, which is also known as pollen-food allergy syndrome. A person with this syndrome is allergic
A recent review in Science outlines the intricate relationships between the gut microbiome and our responsiveness to cancer immunotherapy. All mammals including humans are endowed with a flourishing community of microorganisms within their gut. Humans, for instance, have an average of 30 trillion bacteria thriving within our gut; this bacterial community is called the microbiome.

[ad_1] Canadian researchers evaluate the effects of moderate- and high-volume aerobic exercise programs on physical activity time in postmenopausal women. Physical activity is a key lifestyle factor in the prevention of several diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some forms of cancer. Studies have found that high sedentary time is a risk factor in the
[ad_1] A recent study investigates the degrees of sensory impairment in hearing and its association with injuries from accidents in the US. Traffic accidents and road safety are paramount concerns. Accidental injuries are a leading cause of mortality and disability in the United States. Accidents and injuries occurring from accidents have resulted in treatment costs
Nocturnal diarrhea refers to diarrhea that happens at night. Chronic nocturnal diarrhea can be a sign of a more serious health condition, such as diabetes, a bowel disorder, or an infection. Persistent diarrhea can also interrupt sleep and affect the quality of life. Treatment depends on the severity of the symptom and its underlying cause.
A new study recently published in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology has delineated new attributions between several cancers and diabetes and high BMI. Diabetes and high body mass index are one of the leading causes of disease and mortality worldwide. With recent changes in lifestyle, there has been a dramatic increase in both obesity and

[ad_1] A recent analysis published in the Canadian Family Physician suggests that introducing infants to peanuts earlier may help to avoid developing a peanut allergy. Peanuts are commonly known allergens. A peanut allergy may develop in sensitive individuals whose bodies do not recognise the proteins present in the peanut as a food source. Their bodies

[ad_1] Why do some of us have curly hair, and some straight? A recent study in the Journal of Experimental Biology tested two popular theories that explain curly hair using wool from Merino sheep. Following years of research, two very different theories emerged to explain why sheep have curly wool. One theory proposed that cell
Researchers recently performed a clinical trial comparing the safety and effectiveness of semaglutide and dulaglutide for treating type 2 diabetes. Why has the incidence of this disease increased dramatically in past 30 years? The answer is rooted in the fact that type 2 diabetes is partly caused by dietary and lifestyle practices that disrupt the

Researchers recently conducted a study investigating the effects of using fenofibrate in the treatment of gout in type 2 diabetic patients. Gout is a disease characterized by joint inflammation resulting in painful attacks that can last from days to weeks. The inflammation is caused by urate crystals depositing into joints when uric acid levels in
