SAN ANTONIO – The coronavirus pandemic has plagued the planet for nearly a year and now researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio are studying how COVID-19 impacts the brain.

Prince Harry, Prince William’s fallout ‘was very real, very ugly and incredibly intense,’ source claims – Fox News

Prince Harry and Prince William are on their way to repairing their relationship as brothers. A source told Us Weekly on Wednesday that the British royals have made strides to heal their alleged rift, but still have a long way to go. "William and Harry’s fallout was very real, very ugly and incredibly intense," the insider claimed to the outlet. "They’d reached an impasse, there was so much mud under the bridge and a lot of people felt their feud was beyond repair." Harry, 36, confirmed that he and his older brother, 38, were "on different paths" in 2019. Things allegedly escalated when Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced in early 2020 that they were taking "a step back" as senior members of the British royal family.

Tanya Roberts death: Can a UTI be fatal? – Fox News

Urinary tract infections are often associated with painful urination or burning sensation, so when Tanya Roberts’ longtime partner revealed that her death followed hospitalization for complications stemming from one, it came as a shock to many.

"Having a UTI is a super common thing for a woman," Maria Sophocles, MD, gynecologist and sexual medicine specialist of Women’s Healthcare of Princeton, told Fox News. "Some get recurrent UTIs, which is if you get a UTI within three months of your original infection – which is mostly reinfection."

Loss of smell in mild Covid-19 cases occurs 86% of the time, study says – CNN

A case of Covid-19 was considered mild if there was no evidence of viral pneumonia or loss of oxygen and the patient was able to recover at home. The sense of smell reappeared after an average of 18 to 21 days, the study found, but about 5% of people had not recovered olfactory function at six months. Moderate to severe Covid-19 Comparatively, the study found that only 4% to 7% of people with moderate to severe symptoms of Covid-19 lost their ability to smell and taste. People with moderate Covid‐19 had "clinical signs of pneumonia," the study said, such as cough, fever and difficulty breathing. Those with critical cases of the disease suffered severe respiratory distress, and were more likely to be older and have "hypertension, diabetes, gastric disorders, renal, respiratory, heart...
