More evidence vaccines prevent ICU admission and mortality from SARS-CoV-2

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers estimated the comparative virulence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) between the vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Canada.

Neural mechanisms of fatigue in COVID-19 convalescents

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers characterized the mechanisms associated with neural dysregulation in post-coronavirus disease (COVID) fatigue (pCF) by evaluating individuals recovered from mild severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.

Circulating miR-155 may predict chances of survival in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Scientists from Israel have recently estimated the levels of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with the aim of identifying prognostic biomarkers for disease severity. They have identified miR-155, an important regulatory molecule in the immune system, as a potential biomarker to predict COVID-19 severity and mortality.

Study investigates the prevalence risk of familial dilated cardiomyopathy

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), the most common type of heart failure in the United States, was found to have a familial etiology in 30 percent of individuals diagnosed with DCM, and the overall risk for a family member of developing DCM was nearly 20 percent by the age of 80, according to a family-based, cross-sectional study published in JAMA.

Daily activities linked to lower risk of heart disease in older women

Seniors take note, running or brisk walking is not the only way to reduce the risk of heart disease. Simply being "up and about" performing routine activities, referred to as daily life movement, including housework, gardening, cooking and self-care activities like showering can significantly benefit cardiovascular health.
