SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to greater risk of neurological complications than vaccines

Researchers from across the UK, led by the University of Oxford, have today reported on the risks of developing neurological complications following a positive COVID-19 PCR test, or a first dose of either the Oxford-AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccinations.

Study uncovers how novel coronavirus disrupts normal cell defenses to hijack human host cells

A UBC-led research team has uncovered how the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 escapes destruction in infected cells, allowing SARS-CoV-2 to persist and continue spreading in the human body.

Studies test intravenous immunoglobulin for treatment of Kawasaki disease and MIS-C

Kawasaki disease (KD) is rare, with fewer than 6,000 diagnosed cases per year in the United States. It is most common in infants and young children and causes inflammation in the walls of some blood vessels in the body.

Fresh faces, fewer tools: Meet the new bosses fighting covid

Emilie Sayler's roots run deep in southwestern Montana. She serves on a nearby town council and the board of the local Little League. She went to college in a neighboring county and regularly volunteers in the schools of her three kids.

Immunogenicity and efficacy of heterologous ChadOx1/BNT162b2 vaccination amongst healthcare workers

The heterologous ChAd/BNT combination confers better protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection than the homologous BNT/BNT combination in a real-world observational study of healthcare workers.

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.

COVID-19 vaccine-elicited immune responses in myeloma patients

Researchers collaborated to address these evidence gaps by initiating a web-based prospective study of adults diagnosed with multiple myeloma to determine the immune response to the first and second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Do pre-existing mental disorders and their co-occurrence affect COVID-19 clinical outcomes?

Researchers conducted a study to assess how pre-existing mental disorders are associated with a SARS-CoV-2 infection and how different clusters of mental disorders affect COVID-19 clinical outcomes.

Study of SARS-CoV-2 antibody seroprevalence among domestic cats

Researchers from the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover have been investigating the spread of the disease in domestic cats in Europe.

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.

27 Oct 2021

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.
