Long-haul COVID-19: 1 in 5 still battle symptoms two years post-infection

Up to two years after infection, around 18% of unvaccinated individuals experience post-COVID-19 condition, highlighting higher symptom risk compared to controls. Effective interventions are crucial in mitigating the burden of this condition, and comprehensive clinical trial design considering multiple outcome measures, recovery rates, and symptom heterogeneity is essential for accurate interpretation.

Unraveling the complexity of 'Long-COVID' and its impact on breathing

More than a third of COVID-19 patients experience long-lasting symptoms, known as post-COVID-19 condition or long COVID, with breathlessness being a commonly reported symptom. Pulmonary complications, such as fibrosis and thromboembolic disease, require careful assessment, and non-pharmacological interventions like pulmonary rehabilitation can help manage breathlessness.

US blood donor study finds nearly half of population exhibits hybrid immunity to COVID-19

Hybrid immunity, resulting from both previous infection and vaccination, offers superior protection. Analysis of nationwide blood donor data reveals that by the third quarter of 2022, 96.4% of individuals had SARS-CoV-2 antibodies from previous infection or vaccination, with 47.7% having hybrid immunity.

Combination therapy successfully treats Pasteurella multocida-related invasive infections

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Pasteurella multocida, a Gram-negative, penicillin-sensitive coccobacillus that is frequently a member of the normal respiratory microbiota of different animals, remains a clinically important pathogen with the ability to cause severe disease. Few case reports have involved P. multocida infections without animal bites.

Study finds surprising similarities in COVID-19 mortality rates between certain U.S. states and Canadian provinces

While the overall mortality rates - the number of deaths per 100,000 people - during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic were higher in the United States compared to Canada, a new study at the University of Missouri finds some surprising similarities in mortality rates between certain U.S. states and Canadian provinces.
