Cryo-electron tomography helps visualize platelet deformation due to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Researchers used cellular cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to demonstrate the role of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-triggered severe coagulopathies.

Study finds that pediatric stroke is associated with COVID-19 infections but not with multisystem inflammatory syndrome

Researchers investigated whether coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in pediatric populations.

Additional six weeks of anti-clotting treatment reduces further clot risk after distal DVT

Giving the anti-clotting drug rivaroxaban to patients for 12 weeks instead of the usual six after a blood clot in the lower leg reduces the risk of further clots developing up to two years after treatment, finds a trial published by The BMJ today.

Proteomic analysis identifies novel phenotypes associated with COVID-19 severity in circulating immune cells

In a recent study, researchers used proteomic analysis to identify novel immune cell phenotypes associated with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

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).

Polyphenols in Mediterranean diet may modulate COVID-19 inflammation

Researchers discuss the beneficial role of polyphenolic plant compounds in the Mediterranean diet in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

15 Nov 2022

Paxlovid antiviral therapy reduces risk of long COVID

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* server, researchers in Saint Louis, Missouri, examined whether nirmatrelvir treatment reduced the risk of long COVID, the disease encompassing the post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [PASC].

Study suggests anti-PF4 antibodies may play a role in the severe multiorgan disease manifestations of COVID-19

Researchers investigated the association between the increased levels of anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies and the clinical complications of COVID-19.

Blood clotting protein found to play a new role in repairing damaged blood vessels

Research by RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has discovered a new role for the blood clotting protein, von Willebrand Factor (VWF), that could lead to the development of new treatments for patients with inflammatory and blood clotting disorders.

An optimal approach to treat femoropopliteal lesions

New research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology shows the use of drug-coated balloons is an optimal approach compared to bare metal stents in treating femoropopliteal lesions.

New approach increases the likelihood of detecting antiphospholipid syndrome

The Geneva University Hospitals, the University of Geneva and their spin-off Endotelix have created the best possible target molecule for the antibodies responsible for antiphospholipid syndrome.

CU Anschutz study details the mechanisms behind the link between shingles and strokes

Scientists investigating why people who have had shingles are at a higher risk of stroke, now believe the answer lies within lipid vesicles called exosomes that shuttle proteins and genetic information between cells, according to new research from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

Study sheds new light on the risk of rare blood-clotting condition after covid-19 vaccination

A study published by The BMJ today sheds further light on the risk of developing a very rare blood-clotting condition known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after vaccination against the covid-19 virus.

Studies find cardiovascular effects of cigarettes and e-cigarettes to be strikingly similar

Two related studies, one in humans and the other in rats, found that the cardiovascular effects of cigarettes and e-cigarettes are strikingly similar, and these harmful effects on blood vessel function are likely caused by airway irritation due to inhalation of a foreign substance, rather than a specific component of the cigarette smoke or e-cigarette vapor (aerosol), according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's peer-reviewed journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.

27 Oct 2022

Long-term use of e-cigs and regular cigarettes may have damaging effects on the blood vessels

Long-term use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs), or vaping, can significantly impair the function of the body's blood vessels, increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease.
