Hydroxychloroquine didnt prevent Covid-19 among health care workers in new study – CNN

The study, which was ended early, included 125 health care workers -- some of whom took hydroxychloroquine daily for eight weeks while the others took a placebo. Based on their findings, the researchers from the University of Pennsylvania wrote that they "cannot recommend the routine use of hydroxychloroquine" among health care workers to prevent Covid-19.

HPV vaccine significantly lowers risk of cervical cancer, large study finds – NBC News

The HPV vaccine substantially reduces a woman’s risk of developing cervical cancer, especially in women who were immunized at a younger age, a large Swedish study found. The risk of developing cervical cancer was reduced by 88 percent in women who had been vaccinated before age 17, and by 53 percent in those vaccinated between ages 17 and 30, according to the study of nearly 1.7 million girls and women that was published in Thursday’s issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers said the study is significant because while previous research has shown that the HPV vaccine can protect against the human papillomavirus infection, genital warts and cervical precancer, solid evidence that the vaccine actually prevented invasive cervical cancer was lacking. “This is the first s...

Study first to show that coronavirus may drain testosterone in men – Study Finds

MERSIN, Turkey — It’s been said time and time again during this pandemic that men seem to be at a greater risk of severe COVID symptoms than women. However, scientists have been at a loss as to why this is the case. Now, for the first time ever, a new study finds COVID-19 may in actually be draining men’s testosterone levels. The study was conducted at the University of Mersin and the Mersin City Education And Research Hospital. Researchers say that as a male patient’s baseline testosterone levels (taken upon hospital admission) steadily decreases, their chances of being placed in ICU care increases. Moreover, over half of studied male patients had lower than average testosterone levels. This isn’t the first time that low testosterone levels are identified as a risk factor for severe ...

Clare Bronfman Is Sentenced to 81 Months in Nxivm ‘Sex Cult’ Case – The New York Times

When Clare Bronfman discovered a self-help group called Nxivm in 2003, she was struggling with social anxiety, unable to accept her identity as the daughter of a famous billionaire. Nxivm gave her a sense of purpose, she wrote in court papers. In the course of the next 15 years, she became part of the group’s executive board, even as Nxivm faced mounting criticism that it was an abusive cult that coerced women into sexual slavery. Tapping her fortune, Ms. Bronfman unleashed an army of lawyers and investigators to intimidate Nxivm’s critics. On Wednesday, a federal judge sentenced Ms. Bronfman, 41, to six years and nine months in prison for her role in Nxivm. Ms. Bronfman was the first defendant to be sentenced in the Nxivm investigation, which has shattered the sunny facade of an organiz...

If you’re sick this fall, you’ll probably get a flu and a COVID-19 test – The Verge

If you go to see a doctor with flu-like symptoms this flu season, chances are you’re going to get swabbed for two tests: one for the flu, and one for COVID-19. Unlike flu seasons when there isn’t a pandemic, doctors can’t be confident that someone with body aches and a fever has the flu. That’ll change the diagnostic process for both diseases. “This year, if it looks and smells like flu, it could be flu — or could be COVID-19,” says Richard Webby, an infectious diseases researcher at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. Sorting out one from the other is important. The treatment methods may not be that different: someone with a mild case of the flu and someone with a minor case of COVID-19 will both probably be sent home to rest and recover. Knowing someone has COVID...

Timothy Ray Brown, first person cured of HIV, dead at 54 – New York Post

Timothy Ray Brown, the so-called “Berlin patient” and the first person known to have been cured of HIV infection, has died at age 54. It was recently revealed that he was terminally ill from a recurrence of leukemia last year. The news of his passing was announced on Facebook by his partner, Tim Hoeffgen, who called Brown his “angel” and said he was surrounded by friends when he died Tuesday afternoon in Palm Springs, California. “I am truly blessed that we shared a life together but I’m heartbroken that my hero is now gone. Tim was truly the sweetest person in the world,” Hoeffgen wrote. “Tim’s spirit will live on and the love and support from family and friends will help me through this most difficult time. “Celebrate Tim’s life and always have Hope,” Hoeffgen continued. “...
