Post-COVID quality of life: Study reveals long-term challenges for ICU patients

Study aimed to determine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of COVID-19 patients after hospitalization. The study found that HRQoL is limited in COVID-19 ICU patients 3- and 12-months post COVID-19 hospitalization, with significantly less improvement at 12-months compared to non-ICU patients. Mental disorders were common, highlighting the complexity of post-COVID-19 symptoms.

Ethanol vapor inhalation can disable influenza A virus in mice

Inhaling low concentrations of ethanol vapor can disable the influenza A virus in mice, without harmful side effects, says a new study by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). The scientists believe it may also treat similar viruses such as the one that causes Covid-19.
