A new study cites IBS as a trigger of anxiety and depression in adults
While research shows a correlation between IBS and mental illness, outside experts are cautious about using IBS as a sign of anxiety or depression.
To manage IBS symptoms, experts recommend the low-FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols) diet; if symptoms persist, individuals should see a primary care doctor.

Bird flu, or avian flu, is officially known as H5N1. The virus usually spreads among different kinds of poultry.
Human infections remain very rare. But most human cases have been linked to direct contact with infected birds.
Now, several large vaccine developers are working on bird flu vaccines to prepare for the possibility that the virus could one day jump to humans.

A drug-resistant and potentially deadly fungus has been spreading rapidly through U.S. health care facilities, a new government study finds.
The fungus, a type of yeast called Candida auris, or C. auris, can cause severe illness in people with weakened immune systems.

The study, of more than 10,000 U.S. adults with Type 2 diabetes, found that those who ate relatively fewer carbohydrates were less likely to die over the next 30 years, versus those with a bigger taste for carbs.
But the quality of those lower-carb diets was key: People who ate a moderate amount of carbs but still fit in plenty of vegetables, fruit, fiber-rich grains and beans tended to live longer, versus people with higher-carb diets.

The researchers used dental pulp from the teeth and mandibles of 10 out of 12 skeletons found at the excavation site in the village of Baume-Les-Messieurs in France.
The skeletons were identified to be of men between the ages of 30 and 60.
The collection, storage, and handling of the dental pulp samples were carried out in a facility that had not previously worked with SARS-CoV samples, ensuring that the findings were not a result of cross-contamination.
