Temocillin a forgotten antibiotic may be useful in treating severe urinary tract infections
A forgotten antibiotic, temocillin, led to lower selection of resistant bacteria than the standard treatment for febrile urinary tract infection, in a study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Thus, temocillin may be useful...
A new SARS-CoV-2 Lineage called B.1.620 has emerged from most probably Cameroon carrying a...
B.1.620 Lineage: According to a new multinational research led by researchers from Lithuania, a new SARS-CoV-2 Lineage called B.1.620 has emerged from most probably Cameroon in Central Africa and has spreading silently across the globe...
Research on sensory adaptation has brought to light a previously overlooked organizing principle of...
Research on sensory adaptation led by University of Toronto Engineering professor Willy Wong may have unearthed a previously overlooked organizational principle of physiology.
Biologists have long known that organisms adapt to a constant stimulus in...
Fluvoxamine: A cheap antidepressant reduced the need for hospitalization among high-risk adults with COVID-19
A cheap antidepressant reduced the need for hospitalization among high-risk adults with COVID-19 in a study hunting for existing drugs that could be repurposed to treat coronavirus.
Researchers tested the pill used for depression and...
Opsonization by non-neutralizing antibodies could confer protection to SARS-CoV-2 infection by mediating phago-cytosis.
COVID19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has since the end of 2019 resulted in millions of deaths and serious societal health effects. Treatment of patients with convalescence plasma or monoclonal antibodies was attempted early...
