The effectiveness and potential benefits of wearing a face mask or covering is a topic that has been debated since the pandemic began, and UK guidelines have become more strict as the months have passed. England has now followed Scotland’s example by making face coverings mandatory in shops and supermarkets from July 24. Masks and coverings have been compulsory on […] Kidney transplantation from deceased donors with HIV to people living with both HIV and end-stage kidney disease is feasible and safe, investigators supported by the National Institutes of Health have found. Their study demonstrates that the pool of available kidneys for people with HIV can be expanded by including donors with HIV, making more kidneys available for all who are […] The coronavirus outbreak has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Since its emergence, the virus has killed more than 210,000 people and infected 3,164,616, across 210 countries and territories, having first started in China. But what are the key signs of coronavirus? The global number of infections has now jumped, passing 15,000,000. The UK has had […] When drugs to kill microbes are ineffective, host-directed therapy uses the body’s own immune system to deal with the infection. This approach is being tested in patients with COVID-19, and now a team of researchers at Trinity College Dublin has published a study showing how it might also work in the fight against tuberculosis (TB). The findings are published in […] According to a survey commissioned by Sage Growth Partners, over 50% of leaders are underwhelmed by population health management technology as they say their current population solution doesn’t meet their needs. This has highlighted a pressing need for effective analytics and data to be embedded in population health solutions, particularly amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Professor Mahmood Adil, provides expertise in […] Domestic pharma giant Glenmark pharmaceuticals on Thursday announced the positive outcomes from a Phase 3 clinical trial conducted across seven clinical sites in India, where Covid-19 patients administered with Favipiravir reported faster clinical cure and viral clearance as compared to Covid-19 patients (mild to moderate) with routine care. The company said that patients randomised to Favipiravir treatment arm reported faster […] Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have identified new pathways in an RNA-based virus where inhibitors, like medical treatments, unbind. The finding could be beneficial in understanding how these inhibitors react and potentially help develop a new generation of drugs to target viruses with high death rates, like HIV-1, Zika, Ebola and SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19. “When […] At-home coronavirus tests work just as well as those given at clinics: Study finds self-swab kits are 80% accurate as experts urge easier testing in the US Researchers looked at 185 patients who had coronavirus tests performed by a clinician, at home or both Self-swab kits were 80% accurate overall at correctly identifying positive cases, but 95% accurate among those […] With the global pandemic still in full swing, scientists are working to develop a vaccine in record time. While everyone wants an effective vaccine, they don’t all agree on how to get there and what “effective” really means. Chemical & Engineering News, the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society, spoke with researchers, doctors and business leaders to shed light […] The Corona-pandemic keeps the world in suspense: More than 14 million people have been infected with the Coronavirus, 202.442 of them in Germany. The USA report about almost nearly a new record. After an evening in a restaurant directly under the Berlin TV tower, for a minimum of ten guests have been positive for the Coronavirus tested. In Berlin, some […]
