Its impact has become generally manageable, similar to seasonal illnesses such as the flu, say public health experts

The platform is based on a beta-propiolactone (BPL)-inactivated, whole-virus approach - a modernised take on traditional vaccine technology, according to the NIH on Thursday.

He also criticised former President Joe Biden, former top US health official Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organisation of suppressing the coronavirus origins.

The South China Morning Post reported that researchers discovered HKU5-CoV-2 can attach to human ACE2 receptors, the same pathway utilized by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

According to Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, US, the H5N1 (Bird Flu), has mutated inside this single patient to gain the ability to bind with human receptors in the upper respiratory tract

A study conducted by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, which involved over 200,000 adults, found that abnormal lipid (fat) levels in the blood—a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes—could account for the increasing global incidence of heart problems following the pandemic.

OI is prevalent among children dealing with the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19.

This groundbreaking work on Covid-19 vaccine has been published in the world’s leading science Journal ‘Nature Communications’ on 26th August 2024

KP.3.1.1, a variant from the Omicron family, is one of several JN.1-derived variants currently circulating in the US, according to Xinhua news agency. For the two-week period ending August 17, KP.3.1.1 is estimated to account for 31% to 43% of Covid-19 clinical specimens, up from 20% to 26% in the previous two-week period ending August 3, as per the latest CDC data.

Preprint Study Suggests Older Lungs Less Susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and Flu Virus Replication than Younger Lungs

Published in the American Journal of Otolaryngology, the study suggests a link between the Omicron variant of the Covid virus and the development of Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) in affected patients

Prior exposure to a common cold coronavirus may offer partial protection against lung damage during a subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection, as uncovered by the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), US.

Long Covid and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) are closely related, confirms a study

The reason for the lack of severity is due to higher penetration of Covid vaccines, including the booster shots and immunity gained by previous natural infections, they point out.

Researchers at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences in New Delhi discover potential hidden reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 in extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Published in Nature Communications, the study, conducted on an animal model, affirms that SARS-CoV-2 can infect human neurons in vitro and travel within axons, the projections of nerve cells responsible for information transmission.

Long-Covid is known to persist for several months subsequent to the initial infection

The findings suggest that recommendations to test symptomatic children for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and keep positive children home from child care for prolonged periods can be revised to align with those for other serious respiratory viruses

The study, led by investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital, based on electronic health record (EHR) data showed that SARS-CoV-2 accounted for approximately one in six cases of sepsis during the first two and a half years of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Although protocols have been developed to assess patients' risk, diagnostic and prognostic tools primarily rely on expensive and less accessible imaging methods, such as radiography, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT).
