If we do see a drop in infection rates over the summer, history suggests the pandemic may surge again later on in the year. Early studies have found that people who contract the new coronavirus begin to develop antibodies against it within about 12 days. However, questions remain about the strength and durability of that […]
Maybe you’re itching to start a garden or relax on your lawn. Or, perhaps you can’t wait to hit the hiking trails or go camping. All fun things! But any time you relish in the great outdoors you also risk exposing yourself to some pesky little buggers: ticks. So, it’s crucial to know how to […]
Access to targeted therapies for lung cancer depends on accurate identification of patients’ biomarkers through molecular testing, but survey results published today in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology suggest that many international clinicians are unaware of evidence-based guidelines that support the use of molecular testing. Current evidence-based standards for molecular testing of lung cancer have […]
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Wednesday the country will have 25,000 virus tracing staff recruited by June so the country can “make progress” in its strategy to keep easing the nationwide lockdown. The government is under pressure to get the recruits in place to operate alongside a smartphone tracing app to allow large-scale testing […]
Neither heat nor drought: The climate of the US has-according to some researchers, no large influence on the future course of the Corona pandemic. As the scientists from the University of Princeton found out, is another factor much more crucial. As the Coronavirus spread in the beginning of the year, in more and more countries […]
Moving more and sitting less was a challenge for many of us, even before states started issuing stay-at-home orders. Despite disruptions to our daily work and exercise routines, there are some subtle changes we can make at home to help improve our mental health. New research, published by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found […]
An alternating cycle of 50 days of strict lockdown followed by 30 days of easing could be an effective strategy for reducing the number of COVID-19-related deaths and admissions to intensive care units, say an international team of researchers. The coronavirus pandemic has imposed an unprecedented challenge on global healthcare systems, societies and governments. The […]
New research has found that older adults who go online every day are more likely to be socially isolated than those who use the internet less frequently. Published in the journal Ageing and Society, the researchers examined data from 4,492 adults in England, with an average age of 64. Overall, 19% reported high levels of […]
Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a deadly condition affecting more than 150 million people worldwide with no treatment available besides transplant. But now, a team led by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has uncovered key molecular step stones in ALD that may provide targets for drug therapy development. Their work was recently published in […]
The Coronavirus pandemic in Germany medicine, politics, tourism and society firmly in its grip: More than 4.8 million people globally have become infected with the pathogen of Sars-CoV-2, 175.672 of them in Germany. It remains the case that Germany Still far exceed two circuits of the Federal government in the Corona-crisis-imposed ceiling of 50 new […]
