Persistence of at least one problematic symptom in the first year after traumatic brain injury

More than 70% of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) reported at least one problematic symptom at one year of follow-up that was new or worse than before injury.

Longitudinal analysis of CD4+ T cells and antibody responses to common cold coronaviruses

Scientists have recently revealed that memory T cell responses to common cold coronaviruses stably persist for a long time.

Implementing wastewater-based Covid-19 early warning system in Germany

Coronaviruses can be detected in wastewater some days before first disease symptoms develop. On this basis, it is possible to determine the number of infections more quickly, analyze the infection situation more precisely, and identify new Covid-19 variants and their spread at an earlier stage.

Patterns of bat β-coronaviruses evolution

Researchers conduct an evolutionary analysis of SARS-CoV-2-related bat β-coronavirus genomes.

Study provides insight into what causes therapy failure in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that treatment resistance in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is caused by two distinct classes of stem cells and identified possible therapeutic approaches that target these cells.

Using Hla-A*32 allele as a prognostic indicator of COVID-19 severity

In a new study, researchers evaluated the association between human leukocyte antigens alleles and the severity of COVID-19.

£30 million UK funding enables GSMA to deliver mobile and digital assistance to those in need

The UK will commit a further £15.5 million to the GSMA Mobile for Humanitarian (M4H) Innovation Programme, bringing the total amount given by the UK to the M4H programme to £30 million since 2017.

Penn Medicine receives $12.3 million NIH grant to study FLASH radiotherapy for cancer

With more than $12 million in new funding from the National Institutes of Health, the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania will build on its preclinical research of an emerging form of radiation that provides ultra-fast doses - of under a second, compared to several minutes with conventional radiation - and shows promise of greater protection of normal tissue, thereby minimizing toxic effects to the body.

Mechanisms leading to Parkinson's disease following SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers demonstrated the impact of an amyloidogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) protein fragment named SFYVYSRVK (SK9) on the α-synuclein (aS) monomers and fibrils, a potential risk factor for Parkinson's disease.

Peptide-based vaccine fails to protect mice against SARS-CoV-2 despite T cell response

A recent study observed that peptide-based vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 failed to protect mice against COVID-19, albeit eliciting T cell responses.

Distributed lag models to estimate incident rates using concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 RNA from wastewater solids

The team analyzed the effect of sampling frequency on the prediction error of IRs by using reduced sampling across different sewer sheds of varying sizes and features.

Researchers study EEG patterns in dying man to understand brain activity at the end of life

Researchers describe their observations from continuous EEG recordings obtained from the brain of a dying 87-year-old man who was experiencing a heart attack after a traumatic subdural hematoma.

Experiences of racism in adolescence linked to higher risk of depressive symptoms in adulthood

Black women who frequently experience racism before age 20 are at higher risk of reporting depressive symptoms in adulthood than those who had fewer experiences of racism in early life, according to a study by the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health.
