Serious mental illness associated with increased cardiovascular risk in young adults

An analysis of nearly 600,000 adults in the U.S. found that those diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder may have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease at younger ages compared to adults not diagnosed with one of those serious mental illnesses, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed Journal of the American Heart Association.

Molecular signature of microorganisms in stool samples could predict pancreatic cancer risk

Pancreatic cancer is not one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers, but it is one of the most lethal due to its early local extension and metastatic behavior.

Elevated P2X7 receptor levels in COVID-19 patients correlate with disease severity

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the soluble P2X7 receptor is increased in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients. They also showed that the elevated P2X7 receptors correlated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity.

Study suggests recent common cold may actually lead to worse COVID-19 disease

A new study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases shines an unexpected light on the notion that pre-existing immunity to common cold coronaviruses can protect us from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) – and reveals that this may actually put certain individuals at risk of more severe clinical presentations.
