Researchers from Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin discovered that cystic fibrosis medication may be useful in treating pneumonia after discovering the molecular pathways that cause fluid buildup in the lungs. SARS-CoV-2 and pneumococcal pathogens can cause severe pneumonia. If the airways get clogged, the patient is in danger of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Researchers from Charité […]
Harvard study links severe COVID with genetic signs of brain aging
The study found severe COVID was linked with many of the same gene expression changes in brain tissue seen in old age. According to a study using post-mortem brain tissue samples, severe COVID-19 is linked to biochemical indicators of brain ageing. The new study was released in the Nature Aging journal. The study discovered aging-like […]
A study supports the association between COVID-19 vaccination and a lengthening of the menstrual cycle
Participants in a sizable NIH-funded study came from both North America and Europe. The results of a prior American study that connected COVID-19 vaccination with an average increase in menstrual cycle length of less than one day were supported by a sizable international study. The National Institutes of Health provided funding for the new study, […]
Children with primary immunodeficiency are at greater risk of significant COVID-19 problems
Due to COVID-19, children with various immunodeficiency illnesses have a higher death risk. These children have mutations in genes that control the body’s immunological response to viral infections. Immunodeficiency disorders are malfunction of the immune system, resulting in infections that develop and recur more frequently, are more severe, and last longer than usual. According to […]
Monkeypox virus may cause heart problems
In a report that appears in JACC: Case Reports, researchers covered a case of monkeypox possibly being linked to acute myocarditis, which occurs when the myocardium of the heart muscle becomes inflamed. Monkeypox is a zoonotic virus, meaning it is a type of virus that can spread between animals and humans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and […]
A British scientist stated that common cold and the flu was mistakenly identified as COVID-19 by faulty PCR tests
An unreliable PCR test that confused COVID-19 with the common cold and the flu should have been scrapped, according to a British scientist. Despite receiving a positive test result, many people may not have been infectious, professor Francois Balloux, director of the Genetics Institute at University College London, told The Mail. Following a positive LFD […]
The novel zoonotic Langya Henipavirus from China can cause leukopenia and damage to the liver and kidneys
35 people have been infected by the Langya henipavirus, a new zoonotic illness that affects shrews in China. Is it worthwhile to panic? If it begins to spread among people, it is. People have been on high alert for viruses that are transmitted from animals to humans ever since the coronavirus pandemic began. And there’s […]
Long Covid symptoms, the source of fatigue found
A recent study by researchers at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, may open the door for research on the long Covid, one of the least recognised and most crippling effects of Sars-Cov-2 infection. The condition also develops months after coronavirus negativization, when the patient is no longer able to spread the illness but nonetheless experiences […]
According to recent animal studies, men with Omicron infections may respond better to the oral medication Molnupiravir than women
Research published in October 2021 in the BMJ showed that Molnupiravir reduced the risk of hospitalization by 50% in people at higher risk of severe COVID-19. While COVID-19 vaccines have been crucial in helping reduce the number of fatalities caused by SARS-CoV-2 infections, antivirals also played a part. One of those drugs is molnupiravir, which the Food & […]
Loneliness and social isolation can impair cognitive function and heart health
According to a recent study, social isolation can raise one’s risk of having a heart attack or a stroke. According to two studies published this week, older persons who are lonely, socially isolated, or do not engage in stimulating activities are at risk for heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease. According to the first study, […]
