Danish study of long COVID in teens

As an aftermath of the extended lockdowns and social distancing restrictions, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted the quality of life of children and adolescents worldwide, not only physically due to the infection, but also mentally. A high level of anxiety and depression has been reported among pediatric patients and adolescents, many of whom were deprived of social interaction with peers during the pandemic.

Antarctic soil sample from 2018 adds to the enigma of the COVID-19 pandemic

The origin of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has long been debated among scientists. However, prior research found early genetic material of a unique SARS-CoV-2 variant from the soil on King George Island, Antarctica between 24 December 2018 and 13th January 2019.

Study highlights benefit of mRNA boosters for SARS-CoV-2 following different initial vaccine types

A study by researchers from the United Kingdom finds no difference in the protection offered by mRNA vaccine boosters against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) when comparing those that have received BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine as a primary course to those that have received Oxford/AstraZeneca.

Old FDA-approved drug may protect against lung injury and blood clots in severe COVID-19

An FDA-approved drug that has been in clinical use for more than 70 years may protect against lung injury and the risk of blood clots in severe COVID-19 and other disorders that cause immune-mediated damage to the lungs, according to a preclinical study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

FDA-approved drug prevents the immune system from producing neutrophil extracellular traps

A team of scientists led by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered that disulfiram, an FDA-approved drug, prevents the immune system from producing toxic webs known as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).

Exploring the high incidence of croup in children during the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron wave

In a new study, researchers observed that the incidence of pediatric croup was higher during the latest surge of COVID-19 infections driven by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.

Comparison of school protocols under the high incidence conditions due to the Omicron variant

The current study discusses the proactive vs. reactive school protocols relative to the peak demands for resources, break in infection, and the number of days of school lost.

New method decodes the role of DDX41 protein in preventing double-strand breaks in DNA

There are many different ways in which the genetic material DNA can be damaged, resulting in the development of diseases such as cancer. Certain forms of DNA damage are associated with so-called R-loops.

PCR data sheds light on the dynamics of interspecies pathogen-pathogen interactions

The new study uses PCR data on 17 different pathogens, collected from clinical samples as part of the Seattle Flu Study, a community-based surveillance study of respiratory viral infections.

8 Feb 2022

SARS-CoV-2 in the exhaled breath of COVID-19 patients might be mainly transmitted via respiratory droplets

Researchers found evidence that SARS-CoV-2 particles are released directly into the air through the breathing of COVID-19 patients resulting in respiratory transmission of the virus.

Study identifies lower viral load in the nasopharyngeal samples of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

In a new study, researchers determined if the higher transmission rate of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is due to a higher viral load compared to the Delta variant.
