How billing turns a routine birth into a high-cost emergency

Caitlin Wells Salerno knew that some mammals — like the golden-mantled ground squirrels she studies in the Rocky Mountains — invest an insane amount of resources in their young. That didn't prepare her for the resources the conservation biologist would owe after the birth of her second son.

New study explains why Delta is so easily transmitted and infects people quickly

The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 has swept the globe, becoming the dominant variant within just a few months. A new study from Boston Children's Hospital, published today in Science, explains why Delta is so easily spread and infects people so quickly, and suggests a more targeted strategy for developing future COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.

How can we predict the number of future COVID-19 hospital admissions?

Research led by Sophie Meakin of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in the United Kingdom suggests ensemble forecasts — a method combining multiple models to predict COVID-19 cases — may be more accurate in estimating COVID-19 hospital admissions in local areas.

Study shows sustained deterioration of mental health in UK across COVID pandemic

To date, it is not clear how the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of various preventive strategies impacted mental health or which group of people were most affected by them. To address these issues, scientists have conducted coordinated analyses that included eleven UK longitudinal population studies, comprising data from before and throughout the pandemic.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs not helpful in reducing COVID-related mortality or severity

In the worldwide effort to battle SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, researchers have often turned to medications used as therapies for other conditions in the hopes of finding ones that either kill the coronavirus or lessen the impacts from its infection.

A high-throughput pipeline for identifying nanobodies that target and neutralize SARS-CoV-2

Researchers in the United States have developed a cost-effective, high-throughput pipeline for identifying effective nanobodies that target and neutralize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – the agent that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Extending COVID-19 vaccinations to adolescents and children may lower the overall disease burden

A recent study by researchers from the Netherlands highlights that the introduction of vaccination programs against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to adolescents and children may reduce infection rates and severe disease outcomes – both in these age groups and in the population as a whole. The paper is currently available on medRxiv* preprint server while it undergoes peer review.
