Computational pipeline for the early identification of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants

Researchers developed a computational pipeline for the early identification of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest by analyzing SARS-CoV-2 genome data and allocating risk scores on the basis of functional and epidemiological parameters.

What is the prevalence of COVID-associated neurologic complications in hospitalized US children?

Researchers assessed the prevalence of neurologic complications in children hospitalized with COVID-19.

Contact tracing programs effectively mitigate local COVID-19 risks if accelerated, study says

Contact tracing programs were deployed around the globe to slow the spread of COVID-19, but these programs could not prevent the multiple waves of transmission and loss of life that have occurred since March 2020. In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that a five-day delay between identifying a case and isolating contacts was the Achilles' heel of a contact tracing program in a large U.S. city.

Research analyzes the impact of virtual tours on older adults experiencing social isolation

Scientists have long known that social isolation is associated with a number of health problems, including increased risks for stroke and heart disease, as well as mental decline and even premature death. The risks are especially acute for older adults, who are more likely to be socially isolated and lonely. The coronavirus pandemic only exacerbated the problem due to the need for social distancing, particularly to protect the health of the world's elderly population.

Researchers develop Cluster-Wells to facilitate the study of circulating tumor cells

Cancer spreads via circulating tumor cells (CTCs) that travel through the blood to other organs, and they are nearly impossible to track. Now, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have found a detection method that could revolutionize cancer treatment by showing how cancers metastasize and what stage they are. This could lead to earlier and more targeted treatment, beginning with a simple blood test.

Study analyzes the risk of vector-borne Trypanosoma cruzi infection in El Salvador

One thing you might want even less than a 'kiss' from a kissing bug is its feces. Scientifically referred to as triatomine bugs, these blood-sucking insects can carry in their feces and pass on to humans the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi that causes Chagas disease, a lifelong infection that takes a heavy toll on community health in poor populations, particularly in El Salvador.

Study determines the impact of withholding nitrous oxide for labor analgesia

Birthing women denied nitrous oxide ('laughing gas') to relieve labor pain during the COVID-19 pandemic have turned to opioids instead, without any adverse outcomes for mother or child, according to a new study by Australian clinicians.

Next generation mRNA vaccines exhibit excellent protective and therapeutic effects

Researchers around the world have been working for years on developing vaccines against different types of cancer, but without much success. Now, Tufts School of Engineering researchers think they have found one that does work. They have devised a method of targeting cancer in mice with a vaccine that is so strong and precise, it eliminates tumors and even prevents their recurrence.
