A study designed to study how the immune system impacts gut bacteria—has led to the extraordinary discovery of two molecules that can not only provide profound protection in experimental models of asthma but can...
COVID-19: le persone con problemi nel tratto gastrointestinale superiore (GI) possono essere vulnerabili alle...
Nessuna prova finora indica che cibo o bevande possano trasmettere il virus che causa il COVID-19, ma una nuova ricerca presso la Washington University School of Medicine di St.Louis suggerisce che le persone con...
COVID-19: la quarantena di 7 giorni potrebbe essere efficace quanto una di 14 giorni...
Quando i ricercatori di Yale hanno riferito a dicembre che una quarantena di sette giorni, insieme a test accuratamente programmati, potrebbe essere efficace quanto una quarantena di 14 giorni nel prevenire la diffusione di COVID-19, ha...
Perspectum’s CoverScan MD technology enables healthcare providers to identify Coronavirus-related systemic organ damage
The UK’s Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved the use of CoverScan MD, an MRI-based technology that maps the effects of COVID-19 on several of the body’s key organs, developed by Perspectum.
With 1...
Taking NSAIDs during COVID-19 could be harmful or beneficial – depending on the timing...
New research shows that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduced both antibody and inflammatory responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection in mice.
The study appears this week in the Journal of Virology, a publication of the American...
Treat the fetus as the patient: bioengineered exosomes as a delivery system for...
The results of a study by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch may pave the way for a new medicine delivery system that could reduce the incidence of pre-term labor and premature...
Telaglenastat improve effectiveness of radiation therapy for head – neck cancer
Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and while effective treatments exist, sadly, the cancer often returns.
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have tested a new combination therapy in animal...
COVID-19: A new microneedle patch can capture a biomarker with unprecedented sensitivity
Oftentimes, doctors use blood samples to check for biomarkers of disease: antibodies that signal a viral or bacterial infection, such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19; or cytokines indicative of inflammation seen in...
Obese individuals are at greater risk for more frequent migraine
As worldwide obesity rates continue to soar, new research shows that growing numbers of people are developing a potentially blinding type of weight-linked headache that was once considered rare.
Though the study was conducted in...
COVID-19: People with problems in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be vulnerable to...
No evidence so far indicates that food or drinks can transmit the virus that causes COVID-19, but new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that people with problems in...
