She is the first person with type 1 diabetes to receive this kind of transplant. A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes started producing her own insulin less than three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells. She is the first person with the disease to be treated...

@Ash This is so wrong for a person who disabled/ill to have to go out for a vaccine only to be told that you're not eligible when you get there :mad: Exactly. I hope you can figure out a way to get the Novavax. When they offered home visits at the start of the pandemic for a couple...

@AliceLily from what I've read is that it is common for women going through menopause to also have an underactive thyroid. Both thyroid and menopause-related symptoms are common, non-specific and overlapping. Mine is most likely low too but I haven't had testing done in a few years. My...

The program will create vaccines for various elusive herpesviruses that infect most Americans and cause cancer, autoimmune disease, and birth defects “These are not vaccines against viruses you might get—they’re vaccines against viruses you already have,” said Saphire. “It may be enough for the...

Quebec doctors are paid less for medical procedures on women: study The gaps range from 33 to 218 per cent, and the association of Quebec OB-GYNs says there is no medical reason to justify the difference. “I think Quebecers have the right to know that the value given to care given to a woman...

Summary Gastroparesis is a disorder of delayed gastric emptying with associated symptoms of postprandial fullness, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain. Functional dyspepsia is an upper gastrointestinal disorder of gut–brain interaction that presents with similar...

@Kitty is Novavax approved in the U.K? I'm going over to the walk-in clinic like I did last December. No appointment. It's only a 5 min walk from my place. I'll take whatever they give me.

I wish Novavax was available in Canada, it would significantly increase vaccination uptake. It's up to the provinces whether to buy and distribute, but they would have to meet the minimum order numbers.

I've had underactive thyroid off and on since getting M.E The initial viral onset produced 'extremely' elevated anti-thyroid antibodies. I also had a mild sore throat, ear and vertigo for 6 months during onset.

I did ART for 6 years post initial viral infection. I could have laid still for the next 20 years and still developed delayed PEM once I started living a normal life and doing low impact exercise again. I feel that M.E was already in the cards from the day I contracted the initial virus...

I've mentioned this several times before, the mornings and evenings are vastly different in my case, I don't feel the need to lie down in the evenings to 'recover' unless I've really overdone myself. Morning and afternoons are the worse. @Jonathan Edwards do pwRA or other autoimmune...

Needing to lie flat during the first 5.5 of PVFS was mostly an equilibrium/tired issue. That feeing resolved once I started to feel 'recovered'. I had no issues being upright for long periods of time after that. Second round. Needing to lie flat started from reactivation of EBV and...

Abstract Drug repurposing—identifying new therapeutic uses for approved drugs—is often a serendipitous and opportunistic endeavor to expand the use of drugs for new diseases. The clinical utility of drug-repurposing artificial intelligence (AI) models remains limited because these models focus...

I've posted a few articles here on how men and women's symptoms present themselves very differently in heart disease. One research I can't find at the moment that says gender of the ER doctor might affect female patients’ chances of survival. Research shows women are also twice as likely...

Researchers sent engineered heart tissue to the International Space Station and measured how it faired. The study offers a useful means of identifying the molecular pathways behind the detrimental effects of spaceflight on the human heart, says Joseph Wu, a cardiologist at Stanford University...

“The most common symptoms are feeling like prolonged kind of muscle stiffness and discomfort and weakness,” Dr. Shruti Gupta told CNN affiliate WCVB in an interview while explaining more about the condition. “Usually we see these cases more in isolation and so it’s puzzling for it to happen in...

A couple of years ago I considered buying a saline nasal/sinus irrigator (Navage) that is often advertised on tv. A doctor advised to rinse only using filtered or sterilized water. Tap water is safe for drinking because our stomach acid kills any bacteria, but if you use tap water in a nasal...

Rhabdomyolysis is most often caused by direct traumatic injury, but the condition can also be the result of toxins, infections, muscle ischemia, electrolyte and metabolic disorders, exertion or prolonged bed rest. I wonder why there were so many players that came down with this? Is this...

Twelve Tufts University men's lacrosse players were diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a rare and life-threatening muscle disorder, following a 45-minute voluntary workout with a school alum who recently graduated as a Navy SEAL, according to school spokesperson Patrick Collins. The workout, which...

My sister has Hashimoto, her 'brain fog' is brought on by certain foods- mostly carbs.
