New Cochrane review on antihistamines for motion sickness

Publication Research

A new systematic review from Cochrane ENT at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences says antihistamines are likely to reduce the risk of developing motion sickness (travel sickness) in susceptible adults under naturally occurring conditions of movement, but they may be more likely to cause drowsiness than placebo.

Researchers from the University of Oxford, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Science for Life Laboratory, and the Karolinska Institutet, Solna, Sweden, have found that individual prostate tumours contain a previously unknown range of genetic variation.

Oxford's largest ever study into varicose veins shows need for surgery is linked to genetics

Publication Research

Varicose veins are a very common manifestation of chronic venous disease, affecting over 30% of the population in Western countries. In America, chronic venous disease affects over 11 million men and 22 million women aged 40–80 years old. Left untreated it can escalate to multiple health complications including leg ulcers and ultimately amputations. A new international study by Oxford researchers published on 2 June 2022 in Nature Communications establishes for the first time, a critical genetic risk score to predict the likelihood of patients suffering with varicose veins to require surgery, as well as pointing the way towards potential new therapies.
