In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers used a simplified epidemic model to demonstrate that asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leads to most fatalities. Study: Intermediate levels of asymptomatic transmission can lead to the highest levels of epidemic fatalities.

Menopause before 40 years of age is associated with elevated risks of heart failure and atrial fibrillation, according to a study published today in European Heart Journal, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The study in more than 1.4 million women found that the younger the age at menopause, the higher the risk of new-onset heart failure […]

An article published in Translational Behavioral Medicine explores the role of behavioral medicine in addressing climate change-related health inequities. “Structural racism has led to longstanding health inequities for communities that have been subjected to marginalization. Climate change is exacerbating these longstanding health inequities for frontline communities—which are those communities that are hit first and worst by climate change,” said Kristi […]

Could smoking pot somehow help keep sinus problems at bay? It’s possible, suggests a new study that found people who use marijuana may experience fewer bouts of congestion, sneezing and sinus pain than their nonsmoking peers do, though the reasons why remain cloudy. The study of nearly 2,300 U.S. adults found that while cigarette smokers were often plagued by such […]

All human tumors originating from various tissues share a series of properties that define them, including the ability to prevent cell death. Instead, healthy organs induce programmed cell death or apoptosis to balance their size and eliminate damaged cells. There is a specific and physiological cell death called ferroptosis that occurs induced by the oxidation of fat mediated by iron […]

Researchers investigated how SARS-CoV-2 damages heart muscle cells. They found that the virus damages heart muscle cells via an inflammatory pathway independent of ACE2 receptors. They now plan to investigate how SARS-CoV-2 causes inflammation in the heart. Studies show that up to 62% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 experience cardiac injury. Other research shows that individuals who have contracted COVID-19- […]
