Breakthrough research reveals why some Covid patients may die from the disease

The number of Covid cases in the UK has risen 12% this week, but while some people may be hospitalized, others will suffer little more than a loss of smell. London Medical Laboratory says new research is now revealing everyone’s immune system is as unique as their fingerprint.

Study provides insights on kidney transplant recipients’ immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection

New research provides insights on the immune responses of kidney transplant recipients following infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. The study, which is published in JASN, may help explain why these individuals face a higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than others in the general population.

Gas-related symptoms linked to depression, anxiety, stress and poorer quality of life

Gas-related symptoms are associated with poorer quality of life, and higher stress, anxiety, and depression, with breaking wind being the most frequently reported gas issue, affecting eight out of 10 adults in the general population (81.3 %) in a 24-hour period, according to a new survey1 being presented today at UEG Week Virtual 2021.

Machine learning predicts hospital-onset COVID-19 infections using patient contact networks

Researchers from the UK recently developed a real-time machine learning framework that uses dynamic patient contact networks to predict hospital-onset COVID-19 infections (HOCIs) at the patient level. They then tested and validated the framework on international multi-site datasets across various epidemic and endemic periods. This study can be found on the medRxiv* preprint server.

Republican-led states eased pandemic restrictions two weeks earlier than others

States eased those policies based on politics as much as COVID-19 death rates or case counts, according to new research from the University of Washington. The researchers also found that states with large Black communities, despite those communities being hit hardest by the pandemic, also lifted restrictions earlier.
