With the help of UNLV and the city of Las Vegas, residents living in older parts of the city can apply for the free removal of lead-based paint and other health hazards such as mold and pests.

UNLV is working to make some of the oldest homes in Las Vegas safer.

Dangerous health hazards could be hiding in your home and making you sick.

With natural disasters, come health disasters.

Is Nevada prepared? A new study by the Trust for America’s Health says no.

I’m not going to tell you what to do with your baby’s placenta after birth. If the doctor lets you have it, and you would like to encapsulate it, sauté it, or even ink it to make placenta prints, that is your decision to make. But you should at least know whether scientists have found any health benefits to consuming it.

Placenta pills may be all the rage for new mothers in recent years, but their benefits may be more limited than many believe. A new study finds that women who practiced maternal placentophagy didn’t see any notable improvements when it came to their mood, ability to bond with their baby, or fatigue level.

As science teaches us, the human placenta is the organ responsible for metabolic exchanges between the mother and the fetus. It consists of a maternal part, or Basal Decidua, which develops from the maternal tissue, and from a fetal part, ie the corion frondosum that develops from the same blastocyst that forms the fetus.

Consuming the placenta (in pill form) after childbirth has been an increasingly popular trend in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia and the United States. But a study by the University of Navada, Las Vegas, (UNLV) suggested it does not have as many health benefits as expected.

A new study conducted at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas shows that the intake of placenta capsules, popular among celebrities, has little or no effect on postpartum mood, maternal bonding or fatigue.

American stars are often promoters, even unaware, of new trends that over time tend to expand even in the rest of the world.
