Hypoxia News and Research

RSS

Hypoxia is a condition in which there is a decrease in the oxygen supply to a tissue. In cancer treatment, the level of hypoxia in a tumor may help predict the response of the tumor to the treatment.

COVID‐19 pathology across different tissues

Researchers investigated COVID-19 pathophysiology in multiple tissues, including the lungs, kidneys, heart, and brain, for a deeper understanding of its acute and long‐term symptoms.

7 Oct 2022

What are the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and SARS-CoV-2 infection on mental health?

In a new study, researchers reviewed the direct and indirect effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the COVID-19-induced pandemic on mental health.

5 Oct 2022

How COVID-19 affects the female reproductive system

A new review in the Biology of Reproduction journal analyzed the relationship between the immune system and the female reproductive system while focusing on the effects of COVID-19-associated immune responses on the reproductive system. The study searched PubMed to identify peer-reviewed literature in English up to May 2022 and finally included 83 studies.
