After SARS-CoV-2 booster dose memory B cells adapt to Omicron

Memory B cells never forget recurrent viral exposures and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is no exception, according to a new medRxiv* preprint study.

Addition of wound care nurse to prone-positioning team reduces the odds of pressure injuries in patients

The addition of a certified wound and skin care nurse to a multiprofessional prone-positioning team at Penn Medicine Princeton Health significantly reduced the odds of patients with COVID-19 developing pressure injuries, according to a study published in American Journal of Critical Care.

Scientists estimate transmission advantage of Omicron over Delta variant as +105%

Researchers use statistical models to assess the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron using variant-specific screening tests and genome sequencing.

A new model for predicting COVID-19 severity at diagnosis

Researchers estimate the probabilities of hospitalization and mortality from COVID-19 according to individual risk factors and number of vaccine doses.

Distrust in state power closely linked vaccine hesitancy

Distrust of the state in Turkey, religion and abortion resistance in the United States. Politics and culture are just as important in explaining vaccine hesitancy as health.

Monoclonal antibody treatment of COVID-19 reduces viral shedding

Researchers aim to understand the potential benefits of mAbs in preventing and treating SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Quicker checkout process at stores could reduce exposure and limit virus spread

A new Cornell University study uses queuing theory to examine how often pairs of shoppers might overlap in a supermarket – an approach that could be used to predict the transmission of COVID-19, and guide strategies to reduce its spread.

Homeschooling improved sleep and health-related quality of life for teenagers

The school closures in spring 2020 had a negative effect on the health and well-being of many young people.

Impact of delaying the lifting of SARS-CoV-2 lockdown restrictions

New study findings provided critical insights into competitive behavior and the relative transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 variants, which could be used for planning responses to future emerging variants and exploring co-infections with different strains of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus.

Integrin/TGF-β1 inhibitors highly effective in attenuating COVID-19 severity

New study results suggest that integrin inhibitors have the potential to both prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2, including the Delta and Omicron variants, and to decrease TGF-β levels, resulting in a decrease in COVID-19 severity, hospitalization, and death, especially in vulnerable and unvaccinated populations.

Exploring SARS-CoV-2-like viruses to mitigate the risk of zoonotic transmission to humans

In a new study, a team of researchers developed a genetic assay to evaluate several clade 2 and clade 3 receptor-binding domains (RBD) of spike (S) protein sequences of genus sarbecovirus.

Study findings suggest spread of Omicron can be ascribed to immune evasiveness rather than an increase in transmissibility

Researchers investigate the household transmission of the Omicron VOC and increased immune evasiveness of both the Omicron and Delta variants
