Mild SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to tissue damage and shrinkage in brain areas related to smell

Researchers from the University of Oxford have used data from UK Biobank participants to look at changes to the brain on average 4.5 months after mild SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Meta-analysis finds intensified anticoagulation had no effect on short term mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of intensified anticoagulation therapy in COVID-19 patients.

Genomic surveillance of bacterial colonies could help physicians keep closer tabs on drug resistance

Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections are difficult to treat and cause more than a million annual deaths worldwide, especially in hospitalized patients with pneumonia, bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, or abdominal infections.

Natural SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced anti-spike antibody responses

Researchers demonstrated the anti-spike antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and further estimated the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced Ab activity against recently emerged variants like Omicron.

Sporadic Legionnaires’ disease in commercial truck drivers could be attributed to vehicle windshield wiper fluid

A new study examines two cases of Legionnaires’ disease diagnosed via urine antigen test that were reported and linked to windshield wiper fluid contaminated with Legionella spp.

LMU scientists find specific immunological signature that can prevent SARS-CoV-2 virus spread

LMU scientists have investigated how most people's immune defenses are able to curb the coronavirus so effectively that pneumonia does not occur.

Association of benzodiazepines with SARS-CoV-2 positivity and clinical outcomes in three patient groups

A new study has evaluated the association of BZD use with the clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients.

Single dose of new drug nirsevimab provides safe protection against RSV in healthy infants

The new drug nirsevimab showed 74.5 percent efficacy against medically attended lower respiratory tract infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in healthy infants, according to an international, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Elevated P2X7 receptor levels in COVID-19 patients correlate with disease severity

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the soluble P2X7 receptor is increased in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients. They also showed that the elevated P2X7 receptors correlated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity.

COVID-19 may cause brain shrinkage in some people

In a recent study posted to the journal Nature as an unedited manuscript, researchers assessed the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-associated brain changes among United Kingdom (UK) Biobank patients.

Study suggests recent common cold may actually lead to worse COVID-19 disease

A new study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases shines an unexpected light on the notion that pre-existing immunity to common cold coronaviruses can protect us from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) – and reveals that this may actually put certain individuals at risk of more severe clinical presentations.

Study reveals new insights on how immune system cells respond to disease-causing pathogens

In laboratory experiments involving a class of mutations in people with a rare collection of immune system disorders, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have uncovered new details about how immune system cells respond to disease-causing bacteria, fungi and viruses such as SARS-CoV-2.
