Nine cases have been detected in the U.S., all in AL and all in children between the ages of one and six.
While health officials say that mild hepatitis is commonly found in kids.
This particular form of hepatitis was not caused by any of the viruses that usually lead to an infection.
Mild hepatitis is very common in children following a range of viral infections, but what is being seen at the moment is quite different, Graham Cooke, Imperial College London, via AP.
Health officials suspect that an adenovirus is causing the hepatitis infections in these children.
Hepatitis is described basically as an infection of the liver.
Symptoms of the infection are abdominal pain, diarrhea and jaundice.
Hepatitis can lead to death if it is not properly addressed.
Some of the children with the infection in the U.K. have required extensive care at health units that cater specifically to liver ailments.
A few have even required liver transplants.
According to the U.N.
Health agency, more cases of hepatitis in children will likely be detected

COVID Patients Have a Higher Risk, of Neurodegenerative Disorders, , Study Finds.
The study was conducted by Danish researchers and presented at the 8th European Academy of Neurology Congress on June 26.
Researchers analyzed the health data of more than half the population of Denmark.
People who tested positive were found to have a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, ischemic stroke and Parkinson's disease.
More than two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, , Dr. Pardis Zarifkar, Lead Author, Rigshospitalet Denmark, SciTech Daily.
... the precise nature and evolution of the effects of COVID-19 on neurological disorders remained uncharacterized. , Dr. Pardis Zarifkar, Lead Author, Rigshospitalet Denmark, SciTech Daily.
Previous studies have established an association with
neurological syndromes, , Dr. Pardis Zarifkar, Lead Author, Rigshospitalet Denmark, SciTech Daily.
... but until now it is unknown whether COVID-19 also influences the incidence of specific neurological diseases and whether it differs from other respiratory infections, Dr. Pardis Zarifkar, Lead Author, Rigshospitalet Denmark, SciTech Daily.
We found support for an increased risk of being diagnosed with neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular disorders in COVID-19 positive compared to COVID-negative patients. , Dr. Pardis Zarifkar, Lead Author, Rigshospitalet Denmark, SciTech Daily.
Those who tested positive for COVID were three and a half times more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
They were 2.7 times more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
However, researchers also found that the increased risk of neurological disease was consistent with other infections such as the flu virus and pneumonia.
Most neurological disorders do not appear to be more frequent after COVID-19 than after influenza or community-acquired bacterial pneumonia, Dr. Pardis Zarifkar, Lead Author, Rigshospitalet Denmark, SciTech Daily.
These findings will help to
inform our understanding of the long-term effect of COVID-19

Long COVID Can Affect Children, and Infants, Study Shows.
Long COVID Can Affect Children, and Infants, Study Shows.
The study was published on June 22 in the journal 'The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.'.
The research included
44,000 children in Denmark
ages zero to 14.
Long COVID can cause symptoms such as headaches, mood swings and exhaustion.
The study found those who had tested positive
for COVID-19 were more likely to have long-term symptoms not present before testing positive.
Researchers found common symptoms vary by age. .
Mood swings, rashes and stomach
aches were most common in children
ages 3 and younger.
Children ages 4 to 11 were
prone to experience problems with concentration and memory.
12- to 14-year-olds most notably
experienced mood swings and fatigue.
Our findings align with previous studies of long COVID and adolescents showing that although the chances of children experiencing long COVID is low... , Selina Kikkenborg Berg, study co-author, via CNN.

'Doomsday' Glacier , Melting at Fastest Rate , in 5,500 Years.
According to a new study, the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is losing ice at an alarming rate. .
'USA Today' reports that the study of
the "doomsday" glacier raises concerns
regarding the impending rise of global sea levels.
'USA Today' reports that the study of
the "doomsday" glacier raises concerns
regarding the impending rise of global sea levels.
The rapid melting of the glacier
was highlighted in a peer-reviewed study
published in the journal 'Nature Geoscience.'.
According to the results of the study, the glacier began losing ice around 5,000 years ago.
Over that time,
local sea level rose at
a rate of 0.14 inches per year.
In the past 30 years,
local sea level has risen
1.57 inches annually.
These currently elevated rates of ice melting
may signal that those vital arteries from
the heart of the (West Antarctic Ice Sheet)
have been ruptured, leading to accelerating
flow into the ocean that is potentially
disastrous for future global sea level
in a warming world, Dylan Rood, co-author and faculty of engineering
at Imperial College London, via 'USA Today'.

According to the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, the Thwaites glacier already accounts for about 4% of global sea level rise.
In December, the American Geophysical Union warned
that the eventual demise of the glacier has the potential
to raise sea levels by up to a foot over the next century.
That dramatic change in sea level threatens to impact coastal cities around the world
