A study finds that those who learn about the new coronavirus from conservative outlets, social media, and online news aggregators are more likely to be misinformed. Though the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 is still relatively new, people already know much about it, including its means of transmission, and how we can slow that transmission down. Conveying this information to […] The Regenstrief Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana, faced a challenge: How to make health information from the Indiana Network for Patient Care, the nation’s largest inter-organizational clinical data repository, available more efficiently and effectively to clinicians. THE PROBLEM “Imagine the often huge collection of information about a patient as an iceberg,” said Regenstrief Institute Research Scientist Dr. Titus Schleyer. “When the […] The exact origin of the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is also still unclear. Sometimes a fish market in the Chinese metropolis of Wuhan as a place of origin. A bat-lab stand for a time in suspicion. The Berlin-based virologist Christian Drosten, however, comes to a very different evaluation. Although the Virus was a bat Virus, said Drosten in an Interview with the […] Having abnormally small red blood cells—a condition known as microcytosis—could indicate cancer, according to new research led by a University of Exeter student working with a world-leading team. Medical Sciences student Rhain Hopkins was lead author of the study of more than 12,000 UK patients aged over 40, which found that the cancer risk in males was 6.2 percent, compared […] Matt Hancock, the UK health secretary, promised 100,000 coronavirus tests a day by the end of April. On the last day of the month, the government claimed to have surpassed that target with 122,000 tests. However, the figure included 40,000 home tests that were posted but have not yet been taken. On May 3, the number of tests was back […] Growth hormone has been identified as playing a key role in reducing inflammation and increasing survival rates following liver surgery. Researchers at The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute investigated how the body’s growth hormone assists with liver regeneration in a study using mice. Project leader Dr. Andrew Brooks said mice did not survive surgery to remove two thirds of their […] A team of researchers led by Dr. Victoria Puig from the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM), which also involved the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has studied the neural basis of intellectual disability in mice with Down’s syndrome and has discovered that the neural networks of brain circuits relevant to memory and learning are over-activated and that the […] Scientists find new mutation of coronavirus that mirrors a change in the 2003 SARS virus that showed the disease was weakening Scientists at Arizona State University sequenced the viral genome of coronavirus from 382 patients in the state In one of the samples, they found a significant mutation in the relatively stable virus The genome of a viral sample taken […] Vital fingertip alarm that can protect lives: Doctors call for oxygen monitors to be prescribed to most vulnerable Doctors want pulse oximeters to be given to those in most urgent need for free They advise against otherwise healthy people buying them, to avoid a shortage Medics say 1m people with COPD particularly vulnerable to oxygen starvation Here’s how to help […] The infection with SARS can be CoV-2 prevent? A newly identified fully human monoclonal antibody prevents the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to infect cells. This discovery is the first step in the development of a fully human antibody for the treatment or prevention of SARS-CoV-2-induced airway disease COVID-19. In the current joint study of the Utrecht University, the Erasmus Medical Center and […]
