'Good autoantibodies' associated with a milder course and lower risk of long Covid

Sometimes in the laboratory there are unexpected results. "Previously it had been observed that autoantibodies are common in severe Covid patients, those who end up in intensive care," says Jonathan Muri, postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB, affiliated with the Università della Svizzera italiana) and co-author of the study.

How does chronic HBV infection affect flu and COVID-19 vaccine responses?

The influenza season marks the beginning of a time of illness, sometimes serious or even fatal, in much of the world. For this reason, flu shots are recommended, especially for individuals with underlying diseases such as chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection, since they are at higher risk for adverse outcomes.

Meta-analysis on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in association with antibody titers

Researchers performed a meta-analysis analyzing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, and the dose-response association of humoral responses with vaccine effectiveness.

Study shows survival benefit of home-based rehabilitation in cardiovascular disease patients

In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers comparatively evaluated death rates among home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) participants and non-participants.

Novel predictors of severe respiratory syncytial virus infections among infants below the age of one

Researchers examined predictors for hospitalization due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections to develop a clinical model for guiding immunization and prophylactic treatment of one-year-old infants against RSV infections.

Does the incidence of reported myocarditis or pericarditis after BNT162b2 vaccination vary by age, sex, and inter-dose interval among adolescents aged 12 to 17?

Researchers conducted a population-based cohort study among 12 to 17-year-old adolescents in Ontario, Canada, to estimate the incidence of myocarditis or pericarditis after BNT162b2 vaccination.
