TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe mortality in vegetarians and comparable non-vegetarians in a large United Kingdom cohort, including 60,310 persons living in the United Kingdom, comprising 18,431 regular meat eaters (who ate meat ≥5 times/wk on average), 13,039 low (less-frequent)Meat eaters, 8516 fish eaters and 20,324 vegetarians (including 2228 vegans who did not eat any animal foods).

TL;DR: BLF supplementation alone or in combination with the probiotic LGG reduced the incidence of ≥ stage 2 NEC and of death-and-or ≥ stage 1 NEC in VLBW neonates, suggesting that BLF might be a promising strategy to prevent NEC in NICU settings.

TL;DR: The epidemiological evidence summarized here strongly suggests that the disease is caused by a transmissible agent, in addition to HIV, and is the most important mode of transmission of the agent.
Abstract: The AIDS epidemic drew attention to KS, a previously rare and little studied condition. The epidemiological evidence summarized here strongly suggests that the disease is caused by a transmissible agent, in addition to HIV. Sexual contact is the most important mode of transmission of the agent, although transmission by blood and perinatally may also occur (Beral et al, 1990).

TL;DR: At 4 weeks from the onset, 89% of the SARS-CoV-2-positive mildly symptomatic patients who had had a sudden onset of altered sense of smell or taste experienced a complete resolution or improvement of these symptoms.
Abstract: Importance An altered sense of smell and taste has been reported to be associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) To understand the evolution of these symptoms during the course of the disease is important to identify patients with persistent loss of smell or taste and estimate the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on the burden of olfactory and gustative dysfunctions Objective To evaluate the evolution of the loss of sense of smell and taste in a case series of mildly symptomatic patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional survey-based study included 202 mildly symptomatic adults (≥18 years) consecutively assessed at Treviso Regional Hospital, Italy, between March 19 and March 22, 2020, who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA by polymerase chain reaction on nasopharyngeal and throat swabs Main Outcomes and Measures Prevalence of altered sense of smell and taste at follow-up and their variation from baseline Results Of 202 patients completing the survey at baseline, 187 (926%) also completed the follow-up survey (103 [551%] women; median age, 56 years) The evaluation of the evolution of altered sense of smell or taste in the 113 patients reporting sudden onset of these symptoms at baseline showed that 55 patients (487%; 95% CI, 392-583) reported complete resolution of smell or taste impairment, 46 (407%; 95% CI, 316-504) reported an improvement in the severity, and only 12 (106%; 95% CI, 56-178) reported the symptom was unchanged or worse Persistent loss of smell or taste was not associated with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection Conclusions and Relevance At 4 weeks from the onset, 89% of the SARS-CoV-2–positive mildly symptomatic patients who had had a sudden onset of altered sense of smell or taste experienced a complete resolution or improvement of these symptoms Persistent loss of smell or taste was not associated with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection
