$Custom plates fabricated through computer modeling may help heal collarbone fractures$

Custom plates fabricated through computer modeling may help heal collarbone fractures

Fractures of the clavicle, or collarbone, are common. Unfortunately, current fixation plates that are used to surgically stabilize these fractures are suboptimal, leading to reoperation rates of up to 53%. A new study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research indicates that custom plates developed through computer modeling may be a better option.

An investigation of three SARS-CoV-2 mRNA doses in multiple sclerosis vaccine non-responders

A clinical study by a team of scientists from Norway aimed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of a third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in MS patients treated with anti-CD20 therapy or fingolimod. A preprint version of the study, which is yet to undergo peer review, is available on the medRxiv* server.

Mix-and-match booster shots beneficial in boosting SARS-CoV-2 immunity

Should you get a second dose of the same vaccine if you’ve received the one-dose Johnson & Johnson shot? According to new clinical trial results published on the preprint medRxiv* server, a booster shot of a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine may increase your chances of neutralizing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Researchers identify common side effects of three COVID-19 vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines remain the best tool in the pandemic toolbox against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). But they are not perfect; reports have surfaced of mild to severe side effects after vaccination. A new study from researchers in the Lampe & Company GmbH & Co. KG compared the severity of adverse events from each coronavirus vaccine.

Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant does not make kids sicker than Alpha, study finds

Children are not at risk for more severe COVID-19 disease with Delta compared to earlier severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, finds a new medRxiv* preprint study. In the first large-scale epidemiological study comparing SARS-CoV-2 infection between variants in children, researchers found children were more likely to be as sick from Delta as they would be if they were infected with the Alpha variant.
