Genes associated with COVID-19 risk identified
Having genetic risk variants in the ABO gene might significantly increase the chances of developing COVID-19, and other genes may also increase COVID-19 risk, according to research presented at the ATS 2021 International Conference. Much about COVID-19 remains a medical mystery, including whether certain genes place individuals at greater risk of contracting the SARS-CoV-2 virus, […]
Cyprus lifts lockdown with COVID ‘safety pass’
Cyprus on Monday will exit a third partial lockdown with a new coronavirus “safety pass” system to allow people to move freely. “As of tomorrow, Cyprus takes a step towards returning to a more normal pace of social and economic activity,” Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou said Sunday. “By implementing health protocols, testing the population and […]
Men With Larger Noses Have Bigger Penises, According to New Study
The bigger the nose, the bigger the penis…right? Well, that’s not quite how the adage goes, but according to a new study carried out by researchers at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, there is a significant correlation between nose size and penis size.

Researchers test technological support with robots and functional electrical stimulation
Some robots can create an additional clinical benefit in the rehabilitation of stroke patients as a supplement to standard therapy. For another method, the functional electrical stimulation of individual muscles or muscle groups, such an additional benefit cannot beproven. These are the results of a study based on scientific evidence that the Austrian Institute for […]

More than the sum of mutations: 165 new cancer genes identified with the help of machine learning
A new algorithm can predict which genes cause cancer, even if their DNA sequence is not changed. A team of researchers in Berlin combined a wide variety of data, analyzed it with “Artificial Intelligence” and identified numerous cancer genes. This opens up new perspectives for targeted cancer therapy in personalized medicine and for the development […]
