Research could advance the understanding of links between heart disease and dementia

Heart disease can directly cause brain dysfunction early on which could lead to dementia and can treble the amount of an Alzheimer's protein in the brain, say scientists.

Insignificant homology of SARS-CoV-2 spike sequences to myocarditis-associated antigens

Researchers determine whether sequences within SARS-CoV-2 could lead to an immune response to autoantigens associated with autoimmune myocarditis.

Study finds a subset of vascular macrophages to be powerful ally in the fight against atherosclerosis

A new study reveals the existence of a powerful ally in the fight against cardiovascular disease, a protective subset of vascular macrophages expressing the C-type lectin receptor CLEC4A2, a molecule which fosters "good" macrophage behavior within the vessel wall.

Impact of post-exposure BNT162b2 prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 infections

In a new study, researchers determined evidence for post-exposure vaccination in reducing the mortality rate of COVID-19 and concluded that post-exposure prophylaxis successfully decreased SARS-CoV-2-associated death rates.

Fire closes hospital and displaces staff as Colorado battles omicron

The Colorado wildfire that destroyed more than 1,000 homes last month has forced the temporary closure of a hospital and upended the lives of health care workers as the state's already strained health care system braces for another surge in covid-19 hospitalizations.

New evidence supports the link between growth-induced respiratory stress and fish reproduction

A consistent metabolic ratio found across 133 Chinese marine and freshwater fish species provides new evidence in support of the idea that fish become sexually active – and spawn for the first time – in response to growth-induced respiratory stress.

Ocean living microbes make oxygen in the dark

There is more going on in the deep, dark ocean waters than you may think: Uncountable numbers of invisible microorganisms go about their daily lives in the water columns, and now researchers have discovered that some of them produce oxygen in an unexpected way.

New study strengthens the link between sleep-disordered breathing and gestational diabetes

Sleep-disordered breathing in early pregnancy is associated with insulin resistance or difficulty clearing glucose from the blood, suggests a small study funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Does SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant elicited neutralizing immunity enhance that elicited by the Delta variant?

In this paper, researchers studied whether the neutralizing immunity produced by Omicron also increases neutralizing immunity of the Delta variant.

Neural connections of newborns with brain injuries impact childhood functional outcomes

A new UCSF study that mapped the neural connections of newborns with two different kinds of brain injuries found the maps looked very different - and were linked to significantly different developmental outcomes years later.

LIVE-AIR trial demonstrates efficacy of Lenzilumab for treatment of COVID patients with decreased oxygen saturation

The LIVE-AIR phase 3 clinical trial is associated with early treatment of hyperinflammatory response with the humanized monoclonal antibody lenzilumab in COVID-19 patients with decreased oxygen saturation. The study results are posted to the medRxiv* preprint server.
