That’s the opposite of what scientists had expected to find. For years, they had hypothesized that supplemental hormones might be a way for women to fend off hearing loss or further improve their hearing as they aged. Robert D. Frisina, a neuroscientist at the University of Rochester Medical Center and researcher at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, located at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT/NTID), and his colleagues wanted to test the theory by checking to see if women taking estrogen as part of hormone therapy had better hearing than women not taking hormone therapy....

“His enormous talent and outsized heart were perfectly suited to playing the larger-than-life yellow bird who brought joy to generations of children and countless fans of all ages around the world, and his lovably cantankerous grouch gave us all permission to be cranky once in a while,” read the press release.

Some states, like New York, have managed to drastically reduce the number of new infections. Last year, the New York State Department of Health announced that 2,157 New Yorkers were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2017. That’s down 22 percent from 2013 and down an incredible 64 percent from 2001, when HIV case reporting began. But that’s not the case for all of the country. In Alabama, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports a 9 percent increase in new diagnoses since 2013....

He took part in the Canadian T20 League, 2019 Global T20 Canada, as the captain of Toronto Nationals. Nobody could say that he had bid adieu to international cricket. He had the same swiftness, same zeal, the same hunger and the same energy.

Let’s gain a basic understanding of headaches in children, so you can hopefully feel at ease, but also know when to contact your child’s healthcare provider. Can Headaches in Children Be a Sign of Something Serious? Although parents tend to worry about the possibility that a headache indicates something serious, like a brain tumor, the vast majority of headaches are not due to a serious underlying condition.

Without the means to redress the historic lack of access to quality healthcare (or cultural issues like stigma, homophobia, and systemic racism), infections like HIV can spread rapidly through these communities. Not only are these groups more likely to get HIV, but they are less likely to be diagnosed or remain under medical care. Today, around 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States, with over 36,800 new infections occurring every year....

I made an appointment for a mammogram. I was barely 31 years old. The mammogram progressed into a sonogram. The radiologist said she didn’t like what she saw. Any doubt I had vanished. The radiologist said she wanted a biopsy. My husband drove to the hospital from work and we sat together, shaking and trying to keep calm. After the biopsy, we went to pick up our kids at my husband’s parents’ house....

I laughed, too, but somehow Lori’s words were not reassuring. It was the night before the Florence Marathon, and I was plenty nervous. Running 26.2 miles might seem like fun to some people, those youthful, long-legged wonders from Kenya or a university track team, but not for this garden-variety 43-year-old San Franciscan who prefers books to running. Movies to running. Pork fried rice to running! And now our devoted coach was saying throngs of excited Italians were going to shout “Die!...

Most adults have popped a dose of Tylenol, Motrin or Advil at some point; many have used those drugs within the past week or even the past hour. Sold without a prescription, these medicines are convenient and widely available. But are they too easy to use?

The man who plied his trade in Singapore’s top flight in the early 2000s had set a target of raising at least $120,000 at fundraising site Give.asia, so that his son, Royyan, could undergo surgery to combat his illness. Royyan suffered from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) - a rare heart defect that affects normal blood flow through the heart. Then again this wasn’t the first time Alam Shah’s resolve was severely tested....

Hearthstone’s next expansion, Voyage to the Sunken City, releases on April 12th. The nautical-themed card set takes place in the underwater ruins of Zin-Azshari, now called Nazjatar, and features multi-card Colossal minions, naga, and other new deep-sea mechanics.

For Donais, however, it’s less about the Nintendo Switch’s success than it is about what just makes sense. He notes that Hearthstone is already available on both iPads, or tablets, and phones. Why wouldn’t Hearthstone on the Nintendo Switch also work? Of course, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have cellular network connectivity for playing on the go and who knows how a complicated online game would work with Nintendo’s new online services....

Blizzard Entertainment has continued support Heathstone in many ways since it first came out in 2014. Hearthstone has remained one of the most popular trading card and battling games since its launch, and the support of the game is part of the reasons why. Whether it is expansions, updates, or more, the game sees continual improvement, and the most recent patch, 20.0.2, is an example of that.

The Heat honored Wade before Tuesday’s matchup against Philadelphia with a tribute video narrated by those closest to him, including Erik Spoelstra, Shaquille O’Neal, LeBron James, his wife, Gabrielle Union, and his son Zaire. Wade also received a tribute video from another Chicago native, former president Barack Obama. The 16-year veteran is a likely first ballot Hall of Famer, but he hadn’t recorded a single start in 2018-19. That changed Tuesday when he took the court for the opening jump ball....
