What are autoimmune diseases? The immune system is a network of cells and tissues throughout the body that work to defend you from viruses, bacteria and infections.

However, those suffering from autoimmune diseases face problems with the body's immune system functioning. In such cases, the cells target the body’s own healthy tissues by mistake, signaling the body to attack them.

It can affect any part of the body including the heart, brain, nerves, lungs, muscles and even the skin. How does COVID-19 connect with autoimmune diseases? “…we found a 42.63% higher likelihood of acquiring autoimmunity for patients who had suffered from COVID-19.

This estimate was similar for common autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, or Sjögren syndrome," the yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study explains.

Sri Lanka, USAID, and FAO to boost rice-based ecosystem productivity

COLOMBO; The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is working together with the Ministry of Agriculture to increase the productivity and resilience of the rice-based ecosystems in the Dry and Intermediate Zones of Sri Lanka.Seventy-five percent of the 890,000 hectares of agricultural land used for Paddy farming in Sri Lanka is under smallholder farmers. Despite the country’s potential, the productivity in major growing ecosystems in Sri Lanka (the Dry and Intermediate Zones) has been stagnant or declining over the last 10 years. This is in contrast to the increase in productivity seen in other paddy-growing countries in Asia.If paddy productivity is increased by just 10 percent in the Dry and Intermediate zones, Sri Lanka will produce an extra 0.5 million tonnes.

It moved from a 75-25 cost-sharing formula with municipalities to 70 per cent from the province and 30 per cent from municipalities.Following an outcry, Ford backed down on in-year retroactive cuts and offered mitigation funding to help local governments transition to the new formula.

Study: Zero-calorie sweetener associated with high risk of heart failure, stroke and death

LOS ANGELES - A new study published on Monday found that the sugar replacement called erythritol which is used to sweeten stevia, monkfruit has links to blood clotting, stroke, heart attack and death. According to the study published in the journal Nature Medicine, people with existing risk factors for heart disease are twice as likely to experience heart failure when having high levels of erythritol in their system. Researchers also noted that erythritol appeared to cause blood clots more readily in animal testing. Patients with metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and obesity, are frequently advised that the use of artificial sweeteners in place of sugar can improve glycemic control and help achieve weight loss. However, there is growing epidemiological evidence linking the consumption of artificial sweeteners to adverse cardiometabolic phenotypes, such as weight gain9, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD), including atherothrombotic complications12 and cardiovascular mortality," study authors wrote. In the past several years, sugar has come under fire from the medical community.
