On the occasion of World AIDS Day, reports say that the&nbsp;first infant formulation of dolutegravir, a first-line HIV medication for babies is set to be released soon

On the occasion of World AIDS Day, reports say that the&nbsp;first infant formulation of dolutegravir, a first-line HIV medication for babies is set to be released soon.&nbsp;
The new drug will be strawberry flavoured and launch as a tablet that dissolves in water or juice so babies can swallow it.
According to WHO data, around 80,000 toddlers and younger children die every year of AIDS-related sicknesses. In Africa, approximately 160,000 children are newly infected each year at birth or during lactation&nbsp;when the mothers do not know they are self-infected.

Lung abnormalities could be detected 3 months after the patient has been infected with the novel coronavirus, according to a study by Oxford University.
10 patients were studied using a novel scanning technique. The technique involved uses a&nbsp;gas called Xenon during MRI scans,&nbsp;to identify damage not picked up by ordinary scans.
8 of the patients showed tiredness and shortness of breath even 3 months after being infected!
Lung damage may be one factor behind 'long Covid', researchers believe.&nbsp;

Women may be at 20% greater risk than men of developing heart failure or dying within five years of a severe heart attack, a new study published in the American Heart A

Women may be at 20% greater risk than men of developing heart failure or dying within five years of a severe heart attack, a new study published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation states.
Data from 45000 patients was analyzed by Canadian VIGOUR Centre at the University of Alberta, with focus on two types of heart attacks.
They concluded that heart failure and death from severe heart attack was higher for women than men. The study noted that women are less likely to take necessary steps to prevent heart disease.
It further added that most women presented symptoms of heart disease later in life compared to men.

According to a new study published in the journal Nature Aging, scientists from Britain and Sweden have developed a blood test that could help predict Alzheimer's disease.
The test is based on protein molecules in the blood which contribute to neuronal damage.
Scientists have developed models which predict the risk of cognitive decline in people.&nbsp;
While the blood test requires more research, it is a transformative&nbsp;step in the early diagnosis of the disease.&nbsp;

A new survey has found that the Covid-19 pandemic has forced a massive reduction of HIV&nbsp;testing,&nbsp;especially amongst the at-risk population.&nbsp;
Nearly 80% of HIV care providers reported a decline in preventive prescriptions for the at-risk population while more than one in three amongst the at-risk population reported that they had either decreased or stopped taking HIV preventive medicine.
Fear of catching Covid-19 and travel restrictions&nbsp;amid lockdowns&nbsp;were cited as the main reason for reduced testing in the Gilead Sciences and AIDS Society of India report.

As the winds get cooler and the nights get shorter, the body, too, has to adjust itself to the change in weather. The drop in temperature is an important sign for us to realign our body with the environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is helpful to change your routine and diet to keep your mind and soul in tune with the transitional weather. Lucky for us, Ayurveda&nbsp;offers a treasure trove of advice when it comes to eating based on nature's calendar.&nbsp;
For a stronger immunity that can help you fight off colds, have jaggery or 'gur' regularly in winter. Jaggery is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like iron, zinc and selenium. From gur&nbsp;ke laddus&nbsp;to jaggery&nbsp;pedas, there's plenty of delicious ways to have it!&nbsp;
During winters, your body needs more fat to maintain insulation as well as repair and heal itself for the next season. Load up on ghee that rich in omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin A. The fats in ghee are great for your colon and helps keep your digestive health in check as well.
If you're not a fan of ghee, there are plenty other great sources of healthy fats. Look towards sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and flaxseeds to get your fat intake. Walnuts and almonds are great winter-friendly fat sources as well.&nbsp;
Winters are synonymous with achaars and for good reason. The fermentation process&nbsp;supports&nbsp;gut microbial immunity during the winter months. Fermented veggies also keep you warm so feel free to add some pickled onion or chillies to your lunch plate!&nbsp;
Winters are a good time to have root vegetables. Whether its beets, carrots or sweet potatoes, these underground veggies are loaded with nutrients ranging from vitamin C, vitamin A, minerals and a ton of fibre!
The cold months can sometimes feel a little depressing. But luckily, you can easily spice up your routine with a healthy mix of spices that Ayurveda&nbsp;recommends for winter consumption. Include&nbsp;asafoetida, raw turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, fennel and of course, everyone's&nbsp;winter favourite, cinnamon in your diet to keep your body healthy in winters.&nbsp;

Over 10,000 turkeys will be culled at a farm in northern England, after the Department For Environment, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed a bird flu outbreak. The disease, of the H5N8 strain called avian influenza, was seen in 10,500 turkeys at a farm in North Yorkshire. However, Public Health England stated that the risk to public health was low. Meanwhile, the Food Standards Agency confirmed that well-cooked poultry and other products remain safe to consume.

Updating its physical activity guidelines, the World Health Organisation on Wednesday urged citizens to stay physically active through the Covid-19 pandemic.
A sedentary lifestyle may lead to another ill-health pandemic, the UN body said. Lockdowns and restrictions forced many people to stay indoors and disrupted regular activities, a trend which is worrying, the UN said.
The world body estimates that pushing people to get moving could avert almost 5 million deaths a year. Adults must get 2.5-5 hours of aerobic activity a week while children should move an hour a day at least, they said. Sedentary behaviour, which has harmful effects, has been added to WHO guidelines for the first time.

Using blood plasma from Covid-19 survivors to treat patients with severe pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus showed little benefit, according to data released on Tuesday from a clinical trial in Argentina.
The therapy known as convalescent plasma, which delivers antibodies from Covid-19 survivors to infected people, did not significantly improve patients' health status or reduce their risk of dying from the disease any better than a placebo, the study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found.
Despite limited evidence of its efficacy, US President Donald Trump touted convalescent plasma, as a "historic breakthrough," in August.&nbsp;In October, a small study from India suggested convalescent plasma improved symptoms in COVID-19 patients, such as shortness of breath and fatigue, but did not reduce the risk of death or progression to severe disease after 28 days.&nbsp;

A child or a young person under 20 years was newly infected with HIV at least once every 100 seconds last year, a new UNICEF report has revealed.
This brings the total number of children living with the disease globally to 2.8 million, the UN body said, adding that close to 3.2 lakh&nbsp;children and adolescents were newly infected with HIV and 1.1 lakh&nbsp;children died of AIDS last year.
The total number of children in the 0-9 age group living with HIV has risen to 1.1 million while the number of adolescents has risen to 1.7 million, the UN said.
The report calls on stakeholders to maintain health services to fight the battle, which has become tougher amid the pandemic.

Over 25 million couples in India suffered amid the Covid-19 pandemic, due to interrupted access to contraceptives, a report by Joint United Nations Programme on&nbsp;HIV/AIDS&nbsp; has revealed.
It further added that health officials in low and middle-income countries are preparing for a rise in new births due to this interrupted access.
Analyzing the impact of the pandemic in the long run, the report estimated that there could be 123,000 to 293 000 new HIV infections and 69,000 to 148,000 new AIDS-related deaths between 2020 and 2022.
The report stated that inequalities must be tackled to end the battle.

Scientists from&nbsp;UCLA&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cambridge University&nbsp;have developed a technology that could make it easier to see inside a baby's brain during its natural activity.&nbsp;
The&nbsp;device looks like a swimming cap and produces images similar to an&nbsp;MRI&nbsp;scan but using a light, wearable cap.
Studying the brain activity of an infant is currently difficult with existing technologies like MRI&nbsp;because the baby either has to be asleep or sedated.&nbsp;
This new technology helps overcome these difficulties and gives new insights into the functioning of an infant's brain.&nbsp;

Belonging to the mulberry family, figs have a unique taste and a soft and chewy texture that may not be everyone&rsquo;s cup of tea. But these health benefits may make you change&nbsp;your mind about this heavenly fruit!&nbsp;&nbsp;
The fresh&nbsp;fruit is often dried to extend its shelf life&nbsp;and anjeer&nbsp;is actually healthier than the fresh figs.&nbsp;It is recommended that you eat them early in the morning on an empty stomach.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Figs are high in natural sugars&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper.&nbsp;The high-fibre content in figs makes them a great natural laxative and even makes you feel full for longer. They also contain prebiotics that supports the good bacteria in your gut, improving digestive health.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Figs are also great sources of vitamin A, E and K.&nbsp;If you&rsquo;re having them fresh, you can pair them with cheese&nbsp;or Greek yoghurt!&nbsp;You can even make a fig jam as they are extremely sweet naturally but the best way to have them is in the dried fruit form.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A new gene therapy approach has been developed by scientists from Trinity College Dublin, which could help treat an eye disease that leads to loss of vision.
For the study, published in the Frontiers in Neuroscience, they developed a therapy for Dominant optic atrophy(DOA) that typically degenerates the optic nerves.
The new gene therapy protected the visual function of mice after they were treated with a chemical that targeted&nbsp;their mitochondria, the scientists have&nbsp;said.
In humans, they found the therapy improved mitochondrial&nbsp;performance in those cells that contained mutations in the OPA1 gene. It has been concluded that the therapy could potentially be beneficial for DOA, caused due to OPA1 mutations.

AstraZeneca&nbsp;and the University of Oxford, front-runners in the quest to deliver a Covid-19 vaccine, are facing questions about their trial results after acknowledging a manufacturing error. On Wednesday, Astra&nbsp;Zeneca and Oxford&nbsp;acknowledged a manufacturing error that impacted the preliminary results of their experimental&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;vaccine.
Astra&nbsp;Zeneca and Oxford said their vaccine was 90% effective when a half-dose was given before a full-dose booster, and that two full doses showed an efficacy of 62%.&nbsp;Combined, the drugmakers said the vaccine appeared to be 70% effective.&nbsp;
The error&nbsp;comes days after the company and the university described the shots as highly effective.

A hormone, called Lipocalin-2, which has previously shown to increase the feeling of being full in mice, has showed similar results in humans and non-human primates.&nbsp;The new study, published in the journal Life, suggests that this hormone could be used to treat people with obesity.&nbsp;
The double study was conducted on humans and other primates. LCN2 signals satiety, which was found to restrict food intake. Scientists analyzed four different studies and concluded that LCN2 crosses the blood-brain barrier and suppresses food intake, thus it can curb appetite with minimal toxicity and help treat obesity.

The winter seasoncan be harsh on your hair as it dries out both the scalp and the length of your tresses.
These simple tips could help prevent frizzy hair during the winter months.
Avoid artificially drying your hair using hair dryers. They tend to soak the moisture from your hair and leave it&nbsp;frizzy.
While washing your hair, use lukewarm water. Water that is too hot or too cold tends to dry up the hair further causing damage.
The best bet for shiny silky hair is egg yolk! Take 2 yolks, apply them on your scalp as a hair mask and leave for 20-30 minutes. Rinse your hair dry!

Students of an engineering college in Coimbatore have developed a multilingual robot prototype to bridge the gap between healthcare workers and patients in the wake of Covid-19.
Called 'A Doctor To Be', it is a fully automated patient monitoring robot, which the students from&nbsp;Kumaraguru College of Technology&nbsp;claim can help doctors collect vitals and monitor patients.
It makes use of AI, data processing and image processing to detect if patients are wearing their face masks or not in addition to recording their oxygen levels and temperature.

The 'green' Mediterranean diet may be better for health compared to the traditional Mediterranean diet, a new study published in the journal Heart claims.
The green diet comprises of more plant-based proteins and much lesser poultry and red meat that is present in the traditional Mediterranean diet.
For the study, 294 sedentary people with a BMI of 31 were put into three dietary groups. They were observed for 6 months after which effects of the diet on cardiovascular and metabolic health were assessed.
They concluded that those on the green diet lost most weight, their diastolic blood pressure fell and ratio of good to bad cholesterol&nbsp;improved among other benefits.
