How a tiny H5N1 dose triggers massive virus shedding in cow milk
Experimental infection studies in lactating Holstein cows showed that H5N1 B3.13 can infect the bovine mammary gland at doses as low as 10 TCID50, producing extremely high viral loads in milk. However, the virus did not transmit to sentinel cows through repeated exposure to contaminated milking equipment or through close contact under high-biocontainment conditions, suggesting that real-world dairy-farm spread depends on additional cofactors.

Ongoing nausea in pregnancy may flag anxiety and depression risk
Persistent or severe nausea during pregnancy was linked to higher maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms across gestation. The study found little consistent evidence that nausea worsened most perinatal outcomes, suggesting it may serve mainly as a clinical warning sign for psychological burden.

Diet and inflammation may play a role in progressive vitiligo
A small case-control study linked higher Dietary Inflammatory Index scores with progressive vitiligo, suggesting that pro-inflammatory dietary patterns may be associated with disease occurrence or progression. The findings support further research into diet, inflammation, and the gut-skin axis as potential targets for vitiligo prevention and management.
