A Steroid-Using Bodybuilder Called on Influencers to Come Clean About Using PEDs

A bodybuilder who freely admits his gains aren’t natural and are the result of steroid use has said he’s “sick of fake influencers” who won’t admit they’re using PEDs (performance enhancing drugs). In a video posted to YouTube, Noel Deyzel called on PED-using influencers to admit what they’re doing and stop misleading young and vulnerable […]

A summary of myocarditis cases following COVID-19

Myocarditis-or inflammation around the heart—has been reported in some patients with COVID-19. After searching the medical literature, researchers have now summarized the results of 41 studies describing myocarditis in 42 patients with COVID-19. The analysis, which is published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice, notes that the median age of patients with myocarditis following […]

Where’s Wally? In a New Home!

Cat and Justin were looking to expand their family by four paws but were having trouble finding the right canine to fit their family. After months of looking for a mellow, older companion for their five-year-old Labrador-mix, Finn, they remained optimistic and hoped that the right dog would eventually cross their path. One fateful day […]

Could a longer reproductive period put women at greater risk for Alzheimer disease?

Estrogen has been thought to play a role in a woman’s risk of developing Alzheimer disease (AD). A new study has taken a different approach to identifying risk factors for AD by examining the association between a woman’s reproductive life span as an indicator of endogenous estrogen exposure and levels of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. Study […]

A new tuberculosis treatment pathway

Scientists from the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation, working with collaborators from across the globe, uncovered the mechanism of action of a novel anti-tuberculosis drug that they have helped develop. The new findings show how the enzyme inhibitor triaza-coumarin, or TA-C, is metabolized by the TB germs, which makes it effective in inhibiting […]

A call to increase genetic diversity in immunogenomics

Historically, most large-scale immunogenomic studies—those exploring the association between genes and disease—were conducted with a bias toward individuals of European ancestry. Corey T. Watson, Ph.D., assistant professor in the University of Louisville Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, is leading a call to actively diversify the genetic resources he and fellow immunogenomics researchers use in […]

COVID-19 origins still a mystery: Study finds virus was highly human adapted

Scientists using computer modeling to study SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, have discovered the virus is most ideally adapted to infect human cells—rather than bat or pangolin cells, again raising questions of its origin. In a paper published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports, Australian scientists describe how they used high-performance computer […]

Potato and rice protein as a vegan alternative to whey protein

A study from the Centre for Nutraceuticals at the University of Westminster found that plant-based protein shakes may be potential viable alternatives to milk-based whey protein shakes, particularly in people with need of careful monitoring of glucose levels. The study, published in the journal Nutrients, is the first to show potato and rice proteins can […]
