Is long COVID triggering irritable bowel syndrome? Arizona study to investigate

The Arizona CoVHORT research study at the University of Arizona has received $3.2 million in funding to investigate the links between long COVID and gastrointestinal symptoms, specifically irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Led by epidemiologist Kristen Pogreba-Brown, the study aims to determine how COVID-19 impacts the incidence of IBS, offering potential benefits to millions affected by the ongoing pandemic.

Aerosolized ACE2 neutralizes COVID-19 variants in lab and mice tests

Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern have developed an aerosolized, mutated form of ACE2 that effectively neutralizes various SARS-CoV-2 variants in both cell cultures and mice. The study suggests that this modified ACE2 has promising preventive and therapeutic potential against COVID-19, especially with its easy aerosolized administration.

Vaxzevria vaccine boosts mucosal immunity in COVID-19 recovered

Study highlights the ability of the Vaxzevria vaccine in inducing robust mucosal antibody responses, especially in COVID-19-recovered individuals, showcasing a notable defense against various SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, it emphasizes the need for booster doses to enhance anti-SARS-CoV-2 mucosal immunity, especially in infection-naïve individuals, to broaden protection against emerging viral variants.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease linked to higher risk of blood clots in healthy adults

Recent study in Scientific Reports finds a link between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) among healthy Korean adults. The research suggests that NAFLD may contribute to a hypercoagulable state, increasing the risk of VTE.

Prolonged mismatch between calories eaten and burned may be putting many athletes at risk of REDs

The estimated prevalence of REDs varies by sport, ranging from 15% to 80%. The syndrome often goes unrecognised by athletes themselves, their coaches, and team clinicians, and may unwittingly be exacerbated by the 'sports culture,' because of the perceived short term gains on performance from intentionally or unintentionally limiting calorie intake, warns the Statement.
