Safer chemo for bacterial infections

Newswise — Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a threat to human lives, and yet the development of new drugs to treat bacterial infections is slow. A group of proven drugs used in cancer treatment for decades could possibly be the solution. A new class of antibiotics is now being developed by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden. […]

COVID antiviral drug linked to mutations that may have infected others

The use of molnupiravir to treat at-risk COVID patients coincides with mutations of the virus, scientists say. An antiviral drug used to treat COVID-19 infections has been linked to coronavirus mutations that are suspected of then being passed on to other people, researchers say. ADVERTISEMENT Scientists mapped COVID-19 mutations over time to see how and […]

Effects of iron-based phosphate binders on mortality and cardiovascular events in patients receiving maintenance dialysis

Abstract Phosphate binders are the main treatment for hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, and iron-based phosphate binders have been used with increasing frequency in recent years. This study examined the association of the use of iron-based, rather than non-iron-based, phosphate binders with the incidence of cardiovascular events, in a real-world setting. We used […]

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in pregnancy

Pregnancy is a risk factor for severe COVID-19 A 2021–2022 observational study found that a COVID-19 diagnosis during pregnancy increased risk of morbidity and death for the pregnant patient (relative risk [RR] 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03–1.31), and that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was protective from severe disease and death. Unvaccinated pregnant patients were found to […]

Laterality influence on gene expression of DNA damage repair in colorectal cancer

Abstract Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most common malignancy worldwide, and second in number of deaths in the world. The molecular pathogenesis of CRC is heterogeneous and can affect several genes. Moreover, genomic instability is recognized as an important part of CRC carcinogenesis and is tightly connected to DNA damage response. DNA damage repair […]

Clinical and microbiological characterization of Salmonella spp. isolates from patients treated in a university hospital in South America between 2012–2021: a cohort study

An absence of information about the patterns of Salmonellosis in Latin America has been identified and an imperative need has arisen to generate population and clinical studies to evaluate disease dynamics, mortality and risk factors for severe disease [11, 19]. This study contributes to the generation of knowledge about clinical patterns, resistance, mortality and related […]
