Health studies link brain rewiring, HIV gaps, creatine, rural startups, activity, hallucinations, and diabetes safety
· 8 source(s)
Short summary
Medical Xpress reports that deaf people's brains rewire for better peripheral vision, and that La Trobe University found gaps in HIV testing and prevention. Texas A&M University research suggests creatine may preserve muscle during weight loss, while states invest in rural health startups. EASD presentations link higher physical activity to lower type 2 diabetes risk, and show continuous glucose monitoring makes marathons and sex safe for people with type 1 diabetes. Experts also note that a common eye disease can cause harmless hallucinations.
