Washington (AFP) - De hauts niveaux de grippe aviaire ont été retrouvés chez des souris nourries avec du lait de vache cru contaminé par le virus, rapporte une étude publiée vendredi, suggérant un risque chez l'homme dans la consommation de cette boisson.

In the new study, published in the New Engl...

Geneva (AFP) - Negotiations on a landmark global agreement on handling future pandemics came to a close on Friday without finalising a deal, though countries voiced the desire to keep pushing for an accord. Scarred by the devastation caused by Covid-19 -- which killed millions of people, shredded economies and crippled health systems -- countries have spent two years trying to hammer out binding commitments on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.

A recent study00213-X/fulltext#secsectitle0120) identified unusual symptoms that could indicate the flare-up of some systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Nightmares and "daymares" - hallucinations experienced while awake - have been shown to be potential warning signs of the onset of some autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. "One interesting finding was that certain symptoms, including nightmares, were commonly described as happening just before the other disease symptoms, and so may provide an early warning system of increasing disease activity. This could lead to ea...
