MUNICH, Germany — What if a spray for the lungs could prevent damage from infections like COVID-19? Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed such an inhaler using RNA technology. The innovative approach uses a new sugar-based transport mechanism to deliver the therapeutic agent effectively to its target. The research team created […]
Levels of GFAP protein in the blood — a marker of damage to support cells in the brain — were associated with the enlargement of brain lesions and of fluid-filled brain cavities called ventricles in people with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) undergoing Tysabri (natalizumab) treatment, a study showed. While ventricular volume change can be used as […]
Researchers from Fudan University and elsewhere have developed a SNP-based method to determine zygosity and fetal fraction among twin pregnancies from maternal blood. They note that chorionicity, or the number of placentas in a multiple gestation, is a key risk factor of adverse outcomes in twin pregnancies and that establishing zygosity is a step toward […]
CNN — People who survived Covid-19 early in the pandemic, before there were vaccines, continued to be at higher risk for a slew of health problems for up to two years after they got over their initial infections, a new study finds, and that was especially true if they were hospitalized. These health problems include […]
A new National Institute of Health-supported study revealed that statins, a class of cholesterol-lowering medications, can offset a high risk of cardiovascular disease in people living with HIV by more than 33%. Steven K. Grinspoon, M.D., a professor of medicine at Harvard University and chief of the metabolism unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, led the […]

A certain amount of clotting in the blood is necessary as it prevents excessive bleeding. However, blood clots that do not naturally dissolve can be dangerous. This is because they can travel around the body, and prevent blood flow to certain organs. If a clot reaches the brain, for example, it can result in a […]
People who endured even mild cases of covid-19 are at heightened risk two years later for lung problems, fatigue, diabetes and certain other health problems typical of long covid, according to a new study that casts fresh light on the virus’s true toll. The analysis, published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine, is believed to […]
