Cardiac MRI shows a similar injury pattern for vaccine-associated myocarditis

Vaccine-associated myocarditis shows a similar injury pattern on cardiac MRI compared to other causes of myocarditis, but abnormalities are less severe, according to a new study published in the journal Radiology.

Lifting mask mandates in elementary schools in the U.S. may be too early, study finds

Before lifting mask mandates in elementary schools in the U.S., local COVID-19 case rates should be far below current rates to avoid the risk of increased transmission among students, staff, and families, according to a study led by researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Older woman's estrogen levels may be linked to risk of COVID-19 death

An older woman's estrogen levels may be linked to her chances of dying from COVID-19, with higher levels of the hormone seemingly protective against severe infection, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Open.

Study investigates whether SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with increased risk of incident type 1 diabetes

A recent study has demonstrated that although the incidence of type 1 diabetes increases among children during the COVID-19 pandemic, previous infection by SARS-CoV-2 does not directly act as a causal factor.

Producing more mRNA COVID vaccines could save 1.5M lives in low/middle-income countries

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, a team of researchers from the United States estimated the benefits of scaling up coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in the low- and lower-middle-income countries (LIC/LMICs) amid the global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant using economic and epidemiological models linearized with public data of COVID-19 vaccinations and deaths.
