Younger cancer patients at particularly increased risk of mortality from COVID-19

Systematic reviews and meta-analysis were conducted to identify the impact of SARS-CoV-2 in cancer patients based on tumor type, age, and treatment, and any novel risk factors for COVID-19 in cancer patients

Moving more often is beneficial for long-term weight maintenance in older adults

When considered alongside the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, new findings suggest that focusing less on structured exercise, and more on building frequent periods of enjoyable movement into the day, will more likely contribute to health benefits that can be sustained, according to a paper published online in Obesity, The Obesity Society's flagship journal.

Holiday Heart Syndrome not associated with ventricular arrhythmias, study finds

The relationship between alcohol and atrial fibrillation has long been referred to as the Holiday Heart Syndrome. An extensive study of the relationship between total alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease determined that this phenomenon is not associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs).

Identifying a recurring pattern in broadly neutralizing antibodies that can target an epitope on SARS-CoV-2

Interesting research decrypts a recurring sequence in antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and identifies it to be a board neutralizing antibody that targets a conserved epitope on the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein.
