Prenatal exposure to chemicals in consumer and industrial products is associated with rising liver disease in children — ScienceDaily
The growing incidence of a potentially cancer-causing liver disease in children is associated with prenatal exposure to several endocrine-disrupting chemicals, Mount Sinai researchers report. It is the first comprehensive study on the association of prenatal exposure and mixtures of these ...
Potential pathway linking infant infections to cardiovascular disease risk — ScienceDaily
Researchers have discovered a potential pathway linking early life infections to cardiovascular disease risk later in adulthood, offering opportunities for targeted intervention. The study, led by the Murdoch Children Research Institute (MCRI) and published in eLife, found that elevated inflammation ...
Viruses in the gut may warn of a deadly disease in preterm infants — ScienceDaily
Immediately after birth, human infants begin to develop a complex, interwoven fabric of microbes in their gut. Known collectively as the gut microbiome, this diverse ecosystem consists of bacteria, archaea, viruses and fungi, numbering in the billions. All have important ...
Researchers find that people who are more upbeat in their youth can lower their chances for heart disease as adults — ScienceDaily
Scientists have known for years that a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be lowered with lifestyle changes such as modifying diet, exercise, alcohol and tobacco use. Now Anand Chockalingam and Sharan Srinivas at the University of Missouri demonstrate ...
In mice, mothers with metabolic syndrome can ‘turn on’ offspring’s liver disease — ScienceDaily
New research from North Carolina State University has found that an imprinted gene associated with development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is switched on in mice who nurse from mothers with metabolic syndrome, even when those mice are not ...
Dose-finding trial paves way for new rotavirus vaccine to prevent a deadly diarrheal disease from birth — ScienceDaily
A phase 2 clinical trial has found that the Australian-developed neonatal rotavirus vaccine RV3-BB was safe and produced a robust immune response in African babies. The immune response generated was similar in the group given a reduced dose of the ...
