Marine resources could be promising drug candidates against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

A recent review paper, published in the MDPI’s specialized journal COVID, highlights key features of the Omicron variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – and examines the potential and roadblocks in using renewable marine resources in the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

4% patients with COVID-19 shed fecal viral RNA 10 months after diagnosis

Researchers explore how the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in feces can be associated with the presentation of GI symptoms.

24 Apr 2022

Impact of COVID-19 vaccination on anti-nucleocapsid antibody levels

Anti-N antibodies may have lower sensitivity in mRNA-1273-vaccinated individuals who were previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Heterologous booster dose leads to better SARS-CoV-2 vaccine performance, study shows

A new study on Chile's national COVID-19 vaccination program, to be presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID 2022, Lisbon 23-26), and published in The Lancet Global Health, shows that giving a different type of vaccine (heterologous) for the third or 'booster' dose than was received for the first two doses, leads to better vaccine performance than using the same (homologous) inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine for all three doses.

Research identifies inadequate PPE management in COVID-19 testing centers as source of major cross-contamination

Lack of glove changes at COVID-19 testing centers in Belgium led to major cross-contamination of samples and a high rate of false positive results, research being presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases in Lisbon, Portugal, (23-26 April) has found.

Nurseries, schools, nursing homes and other indoor settings exposed to high levels of respiratory pathogens during winter

High levels of respiratory pathogens are present in the air of nurseries, schools, nursing homes and other indoor settings during winter, according to new research being presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases in Lisbon, Portugal, (23-26 April).

23 Apr 2022

An abnormally suppressed immune system may be to blame in some cases of long COVID-19

A UCLA-led team of researchers studying the effect of the monoclonal antibody Leronlimab on long COVID-19 may have found a surprising clue to the baffling syndrome, one that contradicts their initial hypothesis.

22 Apr 2022

Study examines changes in postpartum insurance coverage in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic

It's been the case for decades - high numbers of U.S. women who give birth lose or face changes to their health insurance afterward. And those with Medicaid benefits are most likely to lose coverage, because pregnancy-related Medicaid ends after 60 days postpartum, and eligibility for parents is much more restrictive.
