Tobacco Users Have Increased Risk of Sexually Transmitted Infection

People who use tobacco are more susceptible to oral human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16), which is a sexually transmitted infection, revealed a new US research.

Researchers state that oral HPV-16 is one of the main reasons for the increase in incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell cancers. 

The study observed a connection between self-reported number of cigarettes currently smoked per day and oral HPV prevalence. 

How safe are human embryonic stem cell transplants?

Evidence of the medium- to long-term safety of transplanting human embryonic stem cells has been published for the first time, in a report in The Lancet.

Since 1981, when pluripotential cell cultures were first derived, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been considered to be a potential source of cells to treat diseases caused by tissue loss or dysfunction.

Toothache or pain in the tooth is one of the most dreaded and bothersome symptom and those who have had it at any time in life can never forget the awful feeling.
Toothache or odontalgia is an uncomfortable condition that interferes with daily activities.
The onset, nature, duration and intensity of the toothache are some important aspects which are taken into account when one attempts to get rid of it. These factors help to determine the underlying cause behind the tooth-ache and thus help in eliminating it.

Prenatal Viral Infection may Cause Diabetes

According to the research at Tel Aviv University, conducted in collaboration with an international team of researchers, women who contract a viral infection during pregnancy transmit viruses to their genetically susceptible fetuses, sparking the development of type 1 diabetes. 

Exercise that can boost long-term memory

You think that improving your memory is all brain training and omega-3 supplements? Think again. A new study from researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta suggests that working out at the gym for as little as 20 minutes can improve long-term memory.

The Future of Cancer Detection

Spotting cancer early is key, but trying to do that -- often when there are no symptoms -- has been challenging.

Still, more and more evidence suggests that all cancers have a signature, or even a scent, that can be detected early. Now, researchers worldwide are testing simpler methods to spot the subtle signs of:

• Breast cancer
• Colorectal cancer
