Effectiveness of a 'test-and-treat' approach for identification and treatment of vitamin D insufficiency for prevention of COVID-19

Researchers determined the impact of vitamin D status in preventing all-cause acute respiratory infection and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Impact of truncated open reading frame 8 protein variants of SARS-CoV-2

A new study identified unique truncated open reading frame 8 proteins among SARS-CoV-2 sequences.

Adaptive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is persistent and robust in COVID-convalescent children

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection incites adaptive cellular immune responses. In many SARS-CoV-2 studies, peripheral blood is analyzed to study the immune responses. Now, a new study under consideration at the Nature Portfolio Journal analyzes the peripheral blood, tonsils, and adenoids of children to understand local and systemic immune responses to SARS-CoV-2.

Computer algorithm predicts coronary artery disease-related events based on voice recordings

An artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer algorithm accurately predicted a person's likelihood of suffering heart problems related to clogged arteries based on voice recordings alone, in a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.

Study evaluates risk estimates of myocarditis and pericarditis from mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 vaccines

A new study assesses whether the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis differs between the two mRNA vaccines.

Investigators create specialized, tissue-like structures to model barrier tissues

Investigators at the Brigham and the Broad Institute have created specialized, tissue-like structures in the laboratory to model barrier tissues, such as the intestines, to identify new targets for treatment. Barrier tissues are exposed to substances from the outside world but serve as a layer of protection.

Drug use beliefs are most influential and salient for youth substance use, suggests study

What are the most important factors to consider for developing effective drug use prevention programs? Many current programs for adolescents focus on elements including peer and family relationships, school connection, and youth's self-confidence and self-assertion.

Ovarian lesions seen on an ultrasound effectively predict cancer risk

The appearance of ovarian lesions on ultrasound is an effective predictor of cancer risk that can help women avoid unnecessary surgery, according to a new study published in the journal Radiology.

How valid are the reported results on health outcomes in children after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection?

Researchers discussed the validity of reported health outcomes post-acute infection with SARS-CoV-2 in children.

Study investigates risk exposure models for negative COVID-19 impact in youths

Researchers performed a cross-sectional study to investigate the effect of risk exposure on the negative COVID-19 impact and its consequent association with youth well-being, life satisfaction, and internalizing symptoms.

Study explores minimal classroom transmission of COVID-19 in a large urban university

A new study investigated the extent of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in classrooms of a large urban university.

Most individuals treated in emergency departments for opioid use disorder do not sustain treatment

Most people who fill prescriptions from emergency physicians to treat their opioid use disorder do not continue to receive the medication, suggesting new approaches are needed to help people continue drug treatment begun on an emergency basis, according to a new RAND Corporation study.

Neutralizing antibody responses against parental SARS-CoV-2 strain as well as against Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants

Researchers evaluated the immune responses in individuals vaccinated with the BNT162b2 vaccine.

21 Mar 2022

Biological timeline of COVID-19 immune recovery described in new research

In a recent study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, a group of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, looked at intra-patient immunological changes over time to see if there were any changes in immune responses associated with successful COVID-19 resolution.
