Treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as only a fertility condition is leaving those with the condition at greater risk of developing related long-term health conditions, according to women surveyed and interviewed in 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ research. Researchers found support and awareness lacking for other symptoms of PCOS, such as obesity, sleep apnoea, hirsutism, acne, and increased risks in developing type 2 diabetes and mental health issues.

The microbes found in aquatic environments and their interactions will be investigated by Warwick researcher Professor Orkun Soyer, thanks to an investigator award from The Gordon and Betty Moore foundation.

Leaving an infant to ‘cry it out’ from birth up to 18 months does not adversely affect their behaviour development or attachment, researchers from the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ have found, they also discovered that those left to cry cried less and for a shorter duration at 18 months of age.

91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ researchers, working with a network of international collaborators, have discovered 23 previously unexplored compounds containing metals such as silver, manganese, zinc, ruthenium and iridium that have antibacterial and antifungal activity. The researchers from the University's Department of Chemistry contributed insights into iridium – the ‘dinosaur metal’ that they have previously shown can attack cancer cells when switched on by light and formed part of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs.

A hard Brexit could result in a family of four seeing their food prices increase to up to £50.98 per week researchers at the 91Ó°ÊÓÆƽâ°æ have found. If we leave with a deal the increase could be as little as £5.80 per week, or £18.17.
