Long COVID patients exhibit different immune and hormonal responses to the virus, study shows

People who have experienced brain fog, confusion, pain, and extreme fatigue for months or longer after being infected with the COVID-19 virus exhibit different immune and hormonal responses to the virus than those not diagnosed with long COVID, according to a new study by researchers at Yale School of Medicine and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Researchers crack the genetic code of rare form of kidney cancer

The genetic code of a rare form of kidney cancer, called reninoma, has been studied for the first time. In the new paper, published today (25th September) in Nature Communications, researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Great Ormond Street Hospital and The Royal Free Hospital also revealed a new drug target that could serve as an alternative treatment if surgery is not recommended.

Tirzepatide outshines other treatments in lowering blood sugar and weight for type 2 diabetes patients

Meta-analysis finds tirzepatide to be the most effective GLP-1 receptor agonist for glucose and weight control in type 2 diabetes patients. The study suggests tirzepatide could be preferable in initial stages of the disease, while other GLP-1 receptor agonists combined with insulin are equally effective for long-term diabetics.
