Three years after the most lethal period of the COVID-19 pandemic, a review of the scientific literature published in the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology emphasizes the pathophysiological similarities between preeclampsia and COVID-19. During the COVID-19 pandemic, above all before vaccines were available, an alarm was sounded regarding a possible correlation between severe cases of COVID-19 in pregnant women and preeclampsia. It can entail dangerous complications for mother and [...]

Good balance and good eyesight are really important for performing different tasks and getting around. People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) often have trouble with both balance and moving their eyes. A new study examined how saccadic eye movements affect body sway in people with PD while standing in two positions: side-by-side and tandem (one foot in front of the other). Researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil and the University of Lille in France found [...]
