'Lucifer' star Tom Ellis finally signs deal for Season 6 return - News Lagoon 'Lucifer' star Tom Ellis finally signs deal for Season 6 return - News Lagoon Posted: 31 May 2020 12:50 PM PDT Contract stalemate, begone! Following protracted negotiations that imperiled a potential sixth season of "Lucifer" at Netflix, titular leading man Tom Ellis has formally inked a new deal with the show, sources confirm to TVLine exclusively. The development all but assures that "Lucifer" will be renewed for a sixth season, although a formal pickup has not been made. Netflix also has yet to announce a premiere date for Season 5. As we reported last month, renegotiations between Ellis and Warner Bros. Television came to a standstill after the actor allegedly rejected the studio's latest offer. Ellis already has a Season 6 deal in place, so depending on the circumstances, his failure to honor the ...

On Tuesday, the Fox News Media streaming service Fox Nation published a new episode of the weekly show  Diamond and Silk , a day after the sister duo espoused numerous conspiracies about the novel coronavirus during a web video they broadcast. While Diamond and Silk are not Fox News Media employees, the company pays them to license their weekly videos, making them something akin to contractors. On Monday, the pair — Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson — made several questionable comments about the virus during an hour-and-10-minute "Chit Chat Live" broadcast.  "Silk" ca...

Scientists Uncover Ways HIV is Sexually Transmitted in Women - PRNewswire Scientists Uncover Ways HIV is Sexually Transmitted in Women - PRNewswire Posted: 27 May 2020 05:01 AM PDT A team of scientists at Gladstone Institutes and UCSF recently uncovered unique properties of immune cells from women's reproductive tissues that, together with HIV molecular tricks, facilitate the virus's spread in a woman's body. Their findings, published in eLIFE , could inform the design of preventive drugs specially tailored for women. "Our studies reveal intriguing strategies potentially used by HIV to evade the immune system and spread throughout the woman's body," says Nadia Roan , PhD , a visiting scientist at Gladstone who led the study. "Supplementing PrEP or topical microbicides with drugs that target these processes could improve the overall efficacy of prevention approaches." Remarkably Receptive Hosts HIV is k...

What’s The STD Knowledge Gap & Why Is It An Issue For Women’s Health? - Forbes What’s The STD Knowledge Gap & Why Is It An Issue For Women’s Health? - Forbes Posted: 27 Apr 2020 03:57 AM PDT Cropped studio shot of an unrecognizable woman with a condom on her thumb against gray background Getty Sex and health education has changed a lot over the last few decades. Depending on where you grew up, it's more than likely that the syllabus being taught in schools now bears little to no resemblance to what was on offer when you were there. However, this has serious implications for your health and wellbeing as you get older. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that sexually transmitted diseases are on the rise in the US and the UK , research has found that British and American adults are experiencing a knowledge gap when it comes to STDs, perhaps due to a lack of educational pr...

The test has the potential to improve screening for and treatment of these sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which have been on the rise in the U.S. since 2013, Dr. Barbara Van Der Pol of the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine told Reuters Health by phone. "The bottom line is that chlamydia and gonorrhea are still the most frequently reported notifiable diseases in the U.S., and it costs us in the 5-to-6-billion-dollar range to manage the consequences of untreated infections," she said. "Unfortunately about 70% of...

Can COVID-19 be sexually transmitted? - ABC 4 Can COVID-19 be sexually transmitted? - ABC 4 Posted: 15 May 2020 04:23 PM PDT SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4 News) – In February at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China, some semen samples were collected from dozens of men who were infected by the virus. It was through a collaboration of medical and research professionals that included Dr. James Hotaling, an Associate of Professor of Surgery at the University of Utah in its Division of Urology. "They looked at them on average of 30 days after they recovered," said Dr. Hotaling. "They looked at the semen samples of about 38 of them. They found that there was no evidence of COVID in any of those semen samples." The male patients included in this study only showed mild to moderate symptoms of the disease. In another study, Dr. Hotaling explains medical researchers looked at another set of patients. RELATED: C...
