Sexual function — which includes factors like desire, arousal and pleasure — in men and women decreased significantly after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a January 2022 meta-analysis of 21 studies published in the journal BMC Public Health. And women — even more so than men — struggled when it came to desire. Many people, particularly women, tend to experience what is called responsive arousal as opposed to spontaneous arousal, she said. And the data showed that men were more likely than women to seek professional help for the sexual problems they experienced, he said. “Unfortunately, I think we’ve sort of normalized sexual difficulties for women,” he added.

The third, in which Moreno was not named, alleged race discrimination against a dealership run by a BMC subsidiary. A campaign spokesman said that the two employees who sued Moreno directly now support his Republican U.S. Senate campaign and that Moreno, who was born in Bogotá, Colombia, prided himself on giving equal opportunities to all his workers. Female former dealership supervisor Cara Wilson, then of Streetsboro, in Portage County, alleged Moreno repeatedly belittled her about being a mother, sometimes in front of her peers. In response to the AP's reporting, the Moreno campaign produced an open letter signed by 23 former female employees vouching that he treated them fairly and respectfully.

CNN —Replacing animal-based food such as red and processed meat or eggs with plant-based options such as nuts or legumes may reduce the risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes, a comprehensive review has found. Previous studies have already indicated some health benefits from plant-based diets. Simply switching animal-based products for plant-based products doesn’t automatically result in a healthy diet. “We need to be cautious about words like plant-based, which can be used by food manufacturers,” Mellor said. “Just because the statistics say a swap reduces risk, does it make culinary and cultural sense?

The case has never been clearer: Eat less bacon and more beans. Chan School of Public Health, who was not involved with the study. Researchers followed them for an average of 19 years and looked for correlations between their diets and health. They adjusted for other factors that can affect health, including calorie intake, physical activity, smoking and alcohol use. But the findings were consistent between studies, she said, and are supported by other research that points in the same direction.

Those who don’t socialize with friends or family may see their risk of dying early increase by 39%. Many previous studies have linked loneliness or social isolation with a higher risk of premature death and other health outcomes. But few, if any, have looked into how these associations depend on the combined impact of different types of social interaction, according to a new study published Thursday in the journal BMC Medicine. Participants’ social isolation was gauged by how often they were visited by friends or family, how often they engaged in weekly group activities, and whether they lived alone. It’s also possible that any of these factors could lead to loneliness or social isolation rather than result from them, according to the study.

China spent 1.4 trillion yuan ($191 billion) replacing foreign hardware and software in 2022, marking a year-on-year increase of 16.2%, according to IT research firm First New Voice. Two firms awarded the Harbin tenders were subsidiaries of China Electronics Corporation and China Electronics Technology Group Corporation - both heavily targeted by U.S. sanctions. The U.S. Department of Commerce, China Electronics Corporation and China Electronics Technology Group Corporation did not return requests for comment. Despite heavy spending on domestic substitution, however, foreign firms are still dominant suppliers for banking and telecoms database management. Non-Chinese companies held 90% of market share for banking database systems at the end of 2022, according to EqualOcean, a tech consultancy.

Symptoms of nomophobia mirror those of an addiction or other anxiety disorders and can include:"Nomophobes are those who exhibit an addiction to their mobile phone," research published in BMC Psychiatry in July states. Nomophobia , short for "no mobile phone phobia," is a term used to describe the anxiety a person experiences when they don't have access to their mobile phone. Teenagers are the most affected by nomophobia, according to research published in BMC Psychiatry, but any age group can struggle with it. Additionally, "being distracted all of the time is very unhealthy for relationships," Leno notes. "We're sacrificing the happiness and potential health of [those] relationships because we care more about the phone."

Viking arrows, an Iron Age tunic and prehistoric wooden skis are some of the artifacts recovered from melting ice patches. This week, learn more about Ötzi the Iceman, a scientific celebrity.

South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology/OchsenreiterHikers found the mummified body of Ötzi in a gully high in the Italian Alps in 1991. Now, a new analysis of DNA extracted from Ötzi’s pelvis has revealed fresh details, including his true appearance — and it’s not what scientists first thought.

CNN —A photo of a bright orange fungus growing on deadwood, with its striking color resplendent against the darkness, has been crowned winner of this year’s BMC Ecology and Evolution image competition. The image competition showcases the “intersection between art and science,” organizers said, in all its weird and wonderful forms. An image depicting an embryonic dinosaur developing within an egg between 72 million and 66 million years ago won the Paleoecology category. It was submitted by Jordan Mallon from the Candian Museum of Nature and created by Wenyu Ren from Beijing, China. A selection of the winning and runner-up images can be viewed in the gallery above.

CNN —An unusual ancient marine reptile may have gulped down tons of shrimplike prey using a feeding technique similar to one used by some modern whales. Fang et al/Courtesy University of BristolBut there hasn’t been much evidence in the fossil record for ancient reptiles using filter feeding, until now. These structures are similar to what’s seen in baleen whales, which have strips of keratin instead of teeth. “Baleen whales have grooves along the jaws to support curtains of baleen, long thin strips of keratin, the protein that makes hair, feathers and fingernails. It’s possible that the marine reptile didn’t start out with this ability.

Feb 17 (Reuters) - KKR-backed technology firm BMC Software has confidentially filed for an initial public offering in the United States, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters, offering an early sign of a thawing market after a virtual shutdown for most of last year. As BMC sets out to test the IPO waters, a listing could see the company valued at between $14 billion and $15 billion, depending on the scale of market recovery, the source added. In 2018, private equity giant KKR & Co (KKR.N) had acquired BMC for $8.5 billion, including debt. The U.S. IPO market has recently begun to show some signs of recovery as investor fears around a looming recession and further monetary policy tightening from the Federal Reserve ease. The news of BMC filing for an IPO confidentially was first reported by Bloomberg News.
Why good balance is key to healthy living

Good balance is an integral part of being physically fit and key to living a long life, according to research. Practice standing next to a chair or something you can grab onto if you become unsteady. Walking up stairs is another easy way to enhance your balance, Baxter said, as part of good balance lies in a strong lower body. “When you have good balance, you move around with less fear and more flexibility,” Landau said, adding that a fear of falling makes you stiff and stressed — and thus more likely to fall. “Good balance improves your general mobility, so you’ll move more and your muscles and bones will get stronger,” Landau said.

Обнадеживающие данные вывели ученые из онкологического центра Джуравински-Гамильтон, Канада, исследуя связь между физической активностью и лимфомой. Они с коллегами обнаружили, что для лимфом сравнения высоких и низких категорий активности показало, что физическая активность становилась защитной для организма. Анализ подгруппы продемонстрировал защитный эффект физической активности при некоторых видах лимфом. Защитный эффект был продемонстрирован в анализе доза-реакция, ученые наблюдали снижение риска на 1 процент. "Анализ реакции на дозу подтверждает эти выводы с линейным снижением заболеваемости, которая наблюдается с увеличением физической активности в повседневных целях", - пишут авторы.
