Consumption of extra virgin olive oil during pregnancy increases the level of antioxidants in breast milk and in infants
The consumption of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) —a product with widely known benefits for our health— increases the level of phenolic compounds in breast milk and can cross the placental barrier, reaching the descendant. This has been stated in a study carried out by a team of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences , the UB Institute for Research on Nutrition and Food Safety (INSA-UB ) and the Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition Networking Biomedical Research Centre ( CIBEROBN ).

Computational science can tackle society’s wicked problems - but not without the help of experts
Simulation models are important to tackle society's wicked problems, but it is not easy to develop simulation models for such complex contexts. Dr. Rick Quax of the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam was one the researchers who developed a new simulation model. What do health inequalities, the energy transition and global climate change have in common? They are wicked problems that arise from many interacting factors at multiple levels - from cells, to individuals, to societies.

Asian, Hispanic and Black Californians saw bigger drops in life expectancy than whites during COVID
Losing years. Overall life expectancy for Californians fell from 81.4 years to 78.4 years between 2019 and 2021. Uneven impact. For Hispanics, life expectancy declined by nearly six years — the largest drop among all groups and three times as high as whites. Rich vs. poor. The difference in life expectancy between those in the state's highestand lowest-income areas increased by three-and-a-half years to more than 15 years.

A slowdown in improvements in cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke, in England and Wales could cost £54billion in health and social care costs between 2020 and 2029, finds a new modelling study co-led by UCL researchers. In the late part of the 20 th century and up to 2010, high-income countries saw dramatic declines in cardiovascular disease (CVD), however, since 2011, falls in CVD rates have stalled, including in England and Wales.

Overcrowding, old buildings fueled COVID in California prisons
At San Quentin and other California prisons, overcrowding and antiquated facilities contributed to the rapid and often lethal spread of COVID-19, says a new report from the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of California, Berkeley. Overcrowding, sometimes in antiquated buildings, compounded by rapidly changing conditions and the need for complex coordination, helped to drive a dramatic surge in COVID-19 in California's prisons, according to a new report from the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of California, Berkeley.

For COVID-19, endemic stage could be two years away
Illnesses like the common cold and the flu have become endemic in human populations; everyone gets them every now and then, but for most people, they aren-t especially harmful. COVID-19 will eventually transition to endemic status at some point - but when? Possibly within two years, according to a new Yale study published July 5 in the journal PNAS Nexus.
