Opioid-related mortality rising among younger adults, study reveals

From 2003 through 2020, as opioid-related mortality in Ontario, Canada increased five-fold, the age distribution also shifted downward – with rates now peaking for people in their mid-30s – according to a new study published this week in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Patrick Brown of University of Toronto, and colleagues.

Eliminating harmful noise from ventilation system fans could help improve health

We spend more of our time indoors than ever. But the noise levels we are exposed to at home, in workplaces and schools have been shown to increase the risk of high blood pressure, mental illness and hearing damage - and may even have a detrimental effect on children's cognitive development.

Persistent loss of smell after COVID-19 associated with altered olfactory epithelial gene expression

Researchers performed histology of the olfactory epithelium for smell loss measurements in patients with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

New report provides clear picture of COVID-19's impact on the U.S. STD epidemic

Reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States decreased during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, but most resurged by the end of that year.

New therapeutic option for HPV-positive head and neck carcinoma discovered

The various manifestations of head and neck carcinomas rank sixth in frequency worldwide and are fatal for about half a million people every year. In a quarter of cases, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and, currently, is not always treatable.

New, longest documented case of persistent acute SARS-CoV-2 infection

Researchers describe a 16-month-old case of SARS-CoV-2 infection in an immunocompromised individual.

New study paves the way for first drug treatment for sleep apnea

A new University of Gothenburg study has paved the way for the first drug treatment for sleep apnea. Compared to before receiving the treatment, breathing pauses decreased with on average more than 20 per hour for patients given the drug.

Chronic tiredness in people with sleep apnea can have serious implications for road safety

Up to half of older adults may have sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing and sleep are briefly interrupted many times a night.

14 Apr 2022

The transmission dynamics of key SARS-CoV-2 mutations revealed by subtyping in new study

In a new study, researchers devised a method for reducing the size of a large collection of SARS-CoV-2 genomes by combining correlated single nucleotide variation sets with allelic association.

mRNA vaccines induce CD8+ T cells that may reduce COVID-19 severity

In a recent study under consideration at Nature Portfolio Journal and posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers characterized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S)-specific cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8+) T cell responses.

Comparing SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron waves in Germany

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers compared the outcomes and characteristics of hospitalized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients during the SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants’ dominant periods in Germany.

Safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the BNT and half-m1273 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines given as a fourth dose booster

Researchers evaluated the immunogenicity of Pfizer’s BNT162b2 and Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccines offered as the fourth dose against SARS-CoV-2.

12 Apr 2022

SARS-CoV-2 mutations change proteasome processing to alter CD8+ T cell responses

Researchers identified mutations in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleoproteins (NP) epitope flanking regions and their potential effects on CD8+ T cell activation.
