In a new study, researchers found that eating oily fish regularly can help prevent heart disease in high-risk individuals, such as those who already have heart disease or stroke.
The critical ingredient is omega-3 fatty acids, which researchers found was linked to a lower risk of major heart events such as heart attacks and strokes by about a sixth in high-risk people who ate two servings of fish rich in omega-3 each week.
No benefit was observed with the consumption of fish in those without heart disease or stroke.

Hamilton, ON (March 8, 2021) - An analysis of several large studies involving participants from more than 60 countries, spearheaded by researchers from McMaster University, has found that eating oily fish regularly can help prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD) in high-risk individuals, such as those who already have heart disease or stroke.
The critical ingredient is omega-3 fatty acids, which researchers found was associated with a lower risk of major CVD events such as heart attacks and strokes by about a sixth in high-risk people who ate two servings of fish rich in omega-3 each week. There is a significant protective benefit of fish consumption in people with cardiovascular disease, said lead co-author Andrew Mente, associate professor of research methods, evidence, and impact at McMaster and a principal investigator at the Population Health Research Institute.

Streptococcus (GAS) exposure were unrelated to tic exacerbations in children with chronic tic disorders (CTD), including Tourette syndrome, a prospective cohort study found.

In 715 children with CTD who had mean age of 10.7 and who mostly (77%) were boys, researchers assessed tic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) severity through weekly symptom diaries, regular clinic visits, and telephone calls over an average follow-up of 16 months. A clinical assessment visit was done when symptom worsening was reported.
