Israeli researchers are warning the world will witness another coronavirus outbreak this summer with either a new strain or a return of the Delta variant. A peer-reviewed modeling study published last week found while Delta eliminated the variants that preceded it, Omicron did not do the same for Delta. The study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) isolated variants in wastewater, indicating where the virus is still active. According to biotech engineer, Professor Ariel Kushmaro, and researcher Karin Yaniv, Omicron and its numerous subvariants are likely to burn themselves out in the coming months but Delta may well be waiting to reemerge. “Our findings highlight that the pandemic is not over and suggest that sooner or later there will be another wave, potentially i...

The patient is believed to have contracted the infection in Nigeria, the UKHSA said, before recently traveling to the UK. He or she is receiving treatment in London at the expert infectiou...

According to a major study that investigated dairy consumption and cancer risk in Chinese adults, greater intake of dairy products was associated with higher risks of liver cancer and female breast cancer. The first major study to investigate dairy consumption and cancer risk in Chinese adults discovered that higher intake was associated with increased risks of liver cancer and female breast cancer. Overall evidence to date on whether eating dairy products affects the risk of cancer has not been consistent. Studies on Western populations indicate that dairy products may be associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer and a higher risk of prostate cancer, but have found no clear link for breast or other types of cancer.[1] These results, however, may not be the same for non-W...
