Among US veterans with COVID-19, few used antivirals or monoclonal antibodies

In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Network, researchers in the United States investigated factors that restricted the use of antivirals directed at severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the United States (US) between January and February 2022.

SARS-CoV-2 ‘Deltacron’ variant exhibits immune-escape properties similar to Omicron BA.1

The SARS-CoV-2 Deltacron does not exhibit higher transmissibility or immune evasion than the Omicron BA.1 variant.

Study reveals neglected or late TB diagnoses related to COVID-19

In a recent study published in the journal BMJ Medicine, researchers modeled changing patterns in sex- and age-stratified new and relapse tuberculosis (TB) case notifications reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) for 45 nations with high TB, TB/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) burden between 2013 and 2019 due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections.

SARS-CoV-2 antibodies persist in breast milk following two and three COVID-19 vaccine doses

A new study assesses anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels in breast milk obtained from lactating individuals following two or three COVID-19 vaccine doses.

Can a multicultural healthy diet reduce cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease risk?

Scientists conducted a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate whether a multicultural healthy diet can reduce cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease risk in adults aged 40 – 65.

SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers reactivation of latent viruses in people with chronic fatigue syndrome

COVID-19 reactivated viruses that had become latent in cells following previous infections, particularly in people with chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME/CFS.

Novel nasal vaccine approach induces potent lung immunity and protection against SARS-CoV-2

Researchers from the Centenary Institute and the University of Sydney have developed a new nasal vaccination strategy that induces potent lung immunity and protection against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

COVID-19 mRNA boosters induce robust but non-durable immune response in the elderly

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology describes that the third booster dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) effectively induces an immune response against immunologically more fit variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, the immunity induced by the booster vaccination is transient and gradually declines over time.

Vitamin D can reduce severity and spread of COVID-19

In a recent study published in the Scientific Reports journal, researchers in the United States assessed the relationship between supplementation with vitamin D and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and related mortality.

Development of a potent, broadly protective vaccine against all SARS-CoV-2 variants

In a recent study published in the journal npj Vaccines, researchers in China designed, produced, and evaluated the neutralization efficacy of a recombinant coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine containing four hot-spot substitution mutations based on a prefusion-stabilized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein (S) trimer.

Long-COVID symptoms worsened by stressful events

A recent study published in the Journal of Neurological Sciences reported that life stressors impact post-acute symptoms and long-term outcomes after hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

15 Nov 2022

SARS-CoV-2 transmission among asymptomatic cases is lower

In a recent study published in the BMC Medicine journal, researchers at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health explored severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission among asymptomatic cases.

Research sheds light on cardiac pathology mechanisms of COVID-19

Researchers compared cardiac autopsy samples from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) positive cases with age-matched samples from influenza hemagglutinin 1 neuraminidase 1 (H1N1) cases, non-influenza lymphocytic myocarditis cases, and heart tissue with no inflammation to understand the mechanisms underlying the pathology of the cardiac complications during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
