Most respiratory illnesses have very similar symptoms at the start: sore throat, congested or runny nose, headache, fatigue and fever. This may progress to a dry cough. Best case scenario is that you have "a cold" (which can be any one of hundreds of viruses, most commonly rhinovirus), which is short-lived and self-limiting. But some respiratory illnesses can be much more serious. Here is a brief guide to some important bugs to know about that are circulating this winter, and how to work out which one you have. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) For most people an RSV infection will feel like "a cold" – annoying, but only lasting a few days. Howeve...

cardiomyopathy :: Article Creator Lexeo Shares Positive Interim Data For FA Cardiomyopathy Gene Therapy The therapy led to increased frataxin levels and decreased left ventricular mass in patients with Friedreich ataxia (FA) cardiomyopathy, the authors said. The maker of a gene therapy candidate for the treatment of Friedreich ataxia (FA) cardiomyopathy has released interim data suggesting the therapy is well tolerated and is associated with improvement in key clinical parameters. Lexeo Therapeutics, which has been working on gene therapies for genetically defined cardiovascular diseases and APOE4-associated Alzheimer disease, released data from a phase 1/2 clinical trial this week. The release also included data from a Weill-Cornell Medicine investigator-initiated phase 1A trial. Taken together, the data suggest the therapy, known as LX2006, is well tolerated and associated with a reduction in mean left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in patients...

2018 flu epidemic :: Article Creator How Are Influenza A And B Different? There are four different types of influenza viruses: Influenza A, B, C, and D. Influenza A and B cause epidemic seasonal infections nearly every year, but A is more common. Influenza, known as "the flu," is a highly contagious respiratory virus. It's most common during the fall and winter months. It typically spreads through respiratory droplets when a person with the flu sneezes or coughs. The family of viruses that influenza is a part of is large. You may have heard that there are different types of influenza viruses — particularly influenza A and influenza B. Influenza A can be found in many species, including humans, birds, and pigs. Due to the breadth of potential hosts and its ability to genetically change over a short amount of time, influenza A viruses are very diverse. They're capable of causing a pandemic. This happens when a v...

growth hormone deficiency :: Article Creator The Truth About HGH For Weight Loss Can a naturally occurring hormone that promotes growth and development be a dieter's dream come true? The quest for an easier weight loss solution has some people taking human growth hormone (HGH) in pills, powders, and injections. A few small studies have linked HGH injections with fat loss and muscle gain. But the changes seen were minimal -- just a few pounds -- while the risks and potential side effects are not. And experts warn that HGH is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight loss. HGH is produced by the pituitary gland to fuel growth and development in children. It also maintains some bodily functions, like tissue repair, muscle growth, brain function, energy, and metabolism, throughout life. HGH production peaks during the teenage years and slowly declines with age. Studies have shown that obese adults have lower levels th...
