mRNA SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Before vs During Pregnancy and Omicron Infection Among Infants
Infants younger than 6 months are at risk of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.
How the current bird flu strain evolved to be so deadly
Genetic changes to avian influenza viruses have led to spread among many wild species, creating an uncontrollable global outbreak.
The episodic resurgence of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 virus
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 activity has intensified globally since 2021, increasingly causing mass mortality in wild birds and poultry and incidental infections in mammals.
Serotonin reduction in post-acute sequelae of viral infection
Peripheral serotonin reduction, in turn, impedes the activity of the vagus nerve and impairs hippocampal responses and memory. These findings provide a possible explanation for neurocognitive symptoms associated with viral persistence in Long COVID.
SARS-CoV-2 evolution in the Omicron era
Since SARS-CoV-2 BA.5 (Omicron) emerged and spread in 2022, Omicron lineages have markedly diversified.
The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in the prevention of post-COVID conditions: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of the latest research
In the last three years, extensive research has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines. These vaccines have played a critical role in reducing mortality and hospitalization rates.
Variant-adapted COVID-19 booster vaccines
Current vaccines should be tailored to combat future SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Changes in Lifestyle Habits in Individuals with Diabetes during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The ELSA-Brasil Cohort Study
