| Migraine leaves Briton sounding French |
英国人患病得法国口音 |
| A woman named Kay Russell from a village in southwestern England says that a severe migraine attack left her speaking with what sounds like a French accent, AP reports. The BBC identified her condition as Foreign Accent Syndrome, known only in a few dozen cases across the world. What sounds like an accent could result from the ways people articulate certain syllables that the brain injury might shift the way of articulation, said a researcher at University College London. |

| Beer linked to psoriasis in women |
女性喝啤酒易患牛皮癣 |
| A new study found that women who like drinking beers are at a higher risk of getting psoriasis, CBS reported. Among women who drank an average of 2.3 drinks or more per week, the chances of getting psoriasis skyrocketed 72% compared to women who didn't drink at all. For women who drank five or more beers each week, the risk of coming down with the affliction was 2.3 time higher. Scientists from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that wine, booze and light beer didn't increase the psoriasis risk at all. Full calorie beers use barley for fermentation, which contains gluten, a starch that many people with psoriasis are sensitive to. |
