Sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, “ will be a thing of the past ,” according to Carmel Harrington, a sleep researcher at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in Australia. A press release describes her new study, out this month, as a “game-changing” effort and a “world-first breakthrough” that could prevent future deaths from the tragic illness. Celebrations quickly spread on social media: “THEY FOUND THE CAUSE OF SIDS. Excuse me while I cry for all the parents,” one viral tweet declared. “Closest thing to a miracle in a long time,” said another . The press soon picked up the story. On Friday, a segment on Good Morning America touted Harrington’s “very, very important study” of SIDS, while a story in the New York Post promised that her data would “ bring closure to countless parents who have endured the nightmare of losing a child.” Rarely is a medical research finding a "breakthrough." But this one - discovering a biomarker in blood that indicates babies' … [Read more...] about No, They Didn’t Find the Cause of SIDS

Chickenpox is a vivid example. The cause of the itchy skin blisters is one of the nine known herpes viruses that can infect humans and make them sick: the varicella zoster virus. It is widespread all over the world and is mainly known as a children's disease. Most of the time, the little ones get over the infection fairly well, only a few scars can remain from scratching. But, the virus stays with them. The varicella-zoster variant of the herpes virus settles in the nerve cell bodies, the so-called ganglia. It can reawaken years or decades later and come back in the form of shingles . In addition to the varicella-zoster virus, the herpes virus family also includes the herpes simplex viruses of types 1 and 2. They are known worldwide because they are responsible for painful cold sores and genital herpes.

The Epstein-Barr virus and the … [Read more...] about Why the herpes virus awakens

Kim Kardashian has posted photos of an unseen 'second' Marilyn Monroe dress she had as back-up to her iconic 2022 Met Gala look. The 41-year-old took centre stage at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday evening when she wore the figure-hugging Jean Louis gown that Monroe wore when she sang 'Happy Birthday' to then-US president John F. Kennedy at a fundraiser held at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962. The SKIMS founder was loaned the outfit from the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum, which paid $4.8m (£3.9m) for the dress - that has more than 6,000 crystals adorned on it - at an auction in November 2016. But she sparked controversy when she revealed that she lost 16lbs in order to fit into the outfit.

JOHN KIRK-ANDERSON/STUFF Debbie Cuthbert was told she'd sprained her ankle. Months later she's still waiting to learn if she'll lose her foot. Nine months after injuring her ankle as she stepped off the school bus she was driving, Debbie Cuthbert has been left with a swollen deformed ankle, and the threat of having her lower leg amputated. Cuthbert says she sought medical help for the injury from a number of different medical professionals – and feels let down by her experience. She hopes an appointment at Christchurch Hospital’s Orthopaedic Outpatient Department on Wednesday morning will mark the start of a better experience. Cuthbert, who now resides in Christchurch, injured herself on September 10 last year. Then a resident of Temuka, Cuthbert went home and elevated her leg. It did not improve over the weekend, and she said she sought medical help at Timaru Hospital. She said it was there she was told she had sprained her ankle.

New legislation introduced by Republican Florida Rep. Scott Franklin zeroes in on allegations that abortion providers are profiting from the sale of fetal remains. The Prohibiting Abortion Industry’s Lucrative Loopholes Act, first obtained by The Daily Wire, prohibits payments, reimbursements, gifts, or compensation of fetal tissue by closing the “valuable consideration” loophole in current law and punishing violators with fines or up to ten years in prison. “Abortion providers should never be allowed to profit off the death of innocent victims,” Franklin told The Daily Wire. “The fact that they can exploit a loophole in the law to do so is a terrible congressional oversight that should have been addressed years ago.” Though Congress outlawed the for-profit sale of fetal remains in 1993, organizations like the Planned Parenthood Federation of America have publicly acknowledged payments for fetal tissue but explain them away by claiming they were only reimbursed for costs. … [Read more...] about GOP Targets Loophole Allegedly Allowing Abortion Providers To Profit From Sale Of Fetal Remains | The Daily Wire

Tory MPs have voted down a bid to impose a windfall tax on oil and gas giants that could save families £600. Despite Brits facing a cost of living crisis, Conservatives rejected a Labour amendment to the Queen's Speech backing a one-off levy on North Sea firms to help struggling Brits. MPs rejected the move by 310 votes to 248, and not one Tory MP backed it. It comes as households are set to be clobbered by soaring food and energy bills and towering inflation which is predicted to top 10% this year. Chancellor Rishi Sunak hinted the government could perform a U-turn in future, however, as he said “no option is off the table” when it came to the levy. Shadow Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband tore into the Chancellor over his failure to act earlier during a heated debate in the Commons. Shadow Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband ( Image: PRU/AFP via Getty Images) “The Chancellor wants us to believe that his measures in response are the best we can do.
