Study shows Omicron less severe than Delta among COVID-19 hospitalized patients

New research posted to the medRxiv* preprint server suggests the Omicron variant produces less severe COVID-19 symptoms than earlier severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants.

Naïve T cells suggested as critical to low mortality of children with COVID-19

A new study discusses how naïve T cells may contribute to lower mortality rates seen in children with COVID-19.

Similarities and dissimilarities in immune responses and metabolism in SARS-CoV-2 and HIV-1 infections

A new study, posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, has developed a single-cell atlas that presents the shared and distinct immune responses and metabolism following SARS-CoV-2 and HIV-1 infections.

Higher olive oil intake may reduce the risk of premature death

People who consume higher amounts of olive oil may lower their risk of premature death overall and from specific causes including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease, compared to people who never or almost never consume olive oil, according to a new study led by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Researchers implement and evaluate an educational intervention for prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the second deadliest cancer in men in the United States. The incidence of prostate cancer in Black men is nearly 60% greater than the incidence in white men.

Insignificant homology of SARS-CoV-2 spike sequences to myocarditis-associated antigens

Researchers determine whether sequences within SARS-CoV-2 could lead to an immune response to autoantigens associated with autoimmune myocarditis.

Study shows AI systems can accurately identify and grade prostate cancer

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have together with international collaborators completed a comprehensive international validation of artificial intelligence (AI) for diagnosing and grading prostate cancer.

SARS-CoV-2-specific immune responses elicited by inactivated COVID-19 vaccines

In this study, researchers identified and recruited volunteers who received inactivated COVID-19 vaccines in real-world settings.

Study finds reductions in hospital admissions for childhood infections during first year of pandemic

During the first year or so of the covid-19 pandemic, there were dramatic reductions in hospital admissions for common and severe childhood infections in England, most likely due to social distancing measures, school and workplace closures, and travel restrictions, finds a study published by The BMJ today.

A clinical tool for monoclonal antibody allocation to treat COVID-19

In this research paper, a group of Mayo Clinic researchers discusses how data from MATRx's clinical prioritizing algorithms can be used to address anti-spike monoclonal antibody allocation during times of scarcity.

Lack of evidence cross-reactive adaptive immune response is mechanism underlying COVID vaccine-induced myocarditis

Recently, the researchers from the USA, in their study published in the journal EBioMedicine, have conducted a sequence identity comparison and 3D protein structure comparison between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-derived peptides/protein and myocarditis-associated antigens and have found no significant enrichment in the frequency of spike-derived peptides similar to myocarditis-associated antigens that could have resulted in adaptive autoimmune responses leading to myocarditis.

How did the COVID pandemic affect the spread of other zoonotic diseases?

In new research, scientists from the Beijing University of Technology have been investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence and mortality of zoonotic diseases in China. Their work is published in the journal BMJ Global Health.

Living alone, serial break-ups may raise the levels of inflammatory markers in men

Living alone for several years and/or experiencing serial relationship break-ups are strongly linked to raised levels of inflammatory markers in the blood-but only in men-finds a large population study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.
