Comparison of COVID-induced ARDS and sepsis-induced ARDS

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers compared the pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and bacterial sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Mice study links dietary cholesterol with exacerbation of influenza

New research from the University of Illinois suggests high levels of dietary cholesterol make mice sicker when infected with influenza. The study is the first to link cholesterol in the diet with exacerbation of a viral infection.

New study reveals the genetic mechanism behind severe staphylococcal infections

A common culprit of skin and respiratory infections, Staphylococcus aureus is highly unpredictable. Between 20 and 30 percent of people carry quiet colonies on their skin and in their nostrils, which seldom cause problems beyond the occasional rash.

Antibiotics disrupt the immune system in the gut leading to fungal infection

Patients prescribed antibiotics in hospital are more likely to get fungal infections because of disruption to the immune system in the gut, according to a new study from the University of Birmingham and National Institutes of Health.

How is the Antimicrobial Resistance Crisis Impacting Sepsis?

In this interview, News-Medical talks to Dr. Ron Daniels about his work at the UK Sepsis Trust and the impact antimicrobial resistance is having on sepsis.

Study reveals why some lungs are protected against COVID

COVID-19 vaccines have saved at least a million lives in the United States alone, but for many people, a lingering fear remains: if - or when - they get hit by the coronavirus, just how bad will it be? Will they breeze through with little more than a sore throat - or will it saddle them with long-term complications, perhaps even push them to the brink of death?

Influenza and pneumonia vaccinations linked with reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Flu (influenza) and pneumonia vaccinations are associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research reported at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2020.

A “less is more” method may prevent antibiotic overuse in pediatric intensive care unit patients

When a patient in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) develops a fever, physicians often routinely order a blood culture to identify the cause, particularly if they have reason to worry about sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when chemicals released by immune system cells in the bloodstream to fight an infection trigger inflammation and shock throughout the body.

Study highlights the need to improve clinical management of Malawian children with low blood sugar or blood oxygen levels

A new study in rural Malawi underscores the need for better clinical management of severely ill children with very low blood sugar or blood oxygen levels.

Study investigates intestinal ischemia in COVID-19 patients

A team of Italian scientists has presented case reports of five coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients undergoing emergency surgery for intestinal ischemia.

Researchers use a systems biology approach to parse the genetic diversity of C. difficile

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Jacobs School of Engineering, with colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine, have used a systems biology approach to parse the genetic diversity of Clostridioides difficile, a particularly problematic pathogen in health care settings.
