The quarantine period for measles is 21 days from the exposure, which is the maximum incubation period before the tell-tale rash appears. Measles is highly infectious, with up to 90 percent of unvaccinated or otherwise vulnerable people contracting the virus upon exposure.

Scientists think a very common childhood infection may be linked to bladder cancer — and now, they’re figuring out the chain reaction that connects the two diseases.It’s known that people who get kidney transplants are three times more likely to develop bladder cancer than the general population. Researchers have hypothesized that because transplant patients are immunosuppressed, dormant viruses lurking in the body are given the opportunity to reactivate.These sleeping pathogens include BK virus (BKV), also called human polyomavirus type I, a common cold virus that 95% of people pick up as children. After an infection, the virus then lies dormant…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was at the center of Silicon Valley’s most visible publicity push in recent memory Monday night when he appeared on The Tonight Show. In a predictably softball interview with host Jimmy Fallon, Altman explained how ChatGPT has helped him alleviate the anxiety that comes with being a new parent.It was a distinctly clever, if somewhat surprising, choice from Altman who has mostly kept his personal life out of the media spotlight. But Altman is a salesman, and a good salesman understands the optics of good television. So he talked about being a dad and being worried…

Los Angeles is a car city, and it’s rarely more obvious than from a vulnerable perch on top of a bicycle. Among big cities in the US, LA has a middling-to-bad reputation for bike riding. A lack of connected cycling lanes and safe crossings led one national cycling advocacy organization to recently rank LA’s bike network 1,136th in the nation. The city’s auto leanings are inscribed on its infrastructure—with deadly consequences. According to one local outlet, at least 12 Angelenos have died while riding this year.So it’s surprising that Eli Akira Kaufman, the executive director of the LA county cycling…
