Adenovirus infection linked to rare blood clotting disorder

Platelets, or thrombocytes, are specialized cellular fragments that form blood clots when we get scrapes and traumatic injuries. Viral infections, autoimmune disease, and other conditions can cause platelet levels to drop throughout the body, termed thrombocytopenia.

New pathway for HIV to enter nucleus of healthy cells identified

A study published on August 10, 2023 in the journal Nature Communications has identified a new pathway that human immune deficiency virus (HIV) uses to enter the nucleus of a healthy cell, where it can then replicate and go on to invade other cells.

Newly identified helicase might hold the key to a novel family of anti-COVID-19 drugs

Researchers used a multidisciplinary approach to investigate a nonstructural protein essential in SARS-CoV-2 replication.

Study explores changes in cardiovascular disease hospitalization trends during the COVID-19 pandemic

A group of researchers examined the variations in cardiovascular disease hospitalizations pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic.

Have social determinants of health affected COVID-19 vaccine uptake?

Researchers investigated clinically significant predictors of COVID-19 vaccination uptake among individuals with social and medical susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

SARS-CoV-2 induces mitochondrial dysfunction in multiple organs

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, researchers have been trying to determine why this virus creates such negative long-term effects compared with most coronaviruses.

RSV vaccine recommendation rates increase when people are informed about FDA approval process

A new study finds that people are more likely to recommend that a pregnant family member or friend get vaccinated to protect the infant from RSV illness if they are shown a chart outlining the rigorous process a vaccine undergoes to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The effectiveness of antimicrobial mouthwashes in reducing viral load in saliva of COVID-19 patients

Researchers assess the effectiveness of three types of mouthwash in reducing the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in the saliva of infected individuals.

Nationwide Children's Hospital pioneers new gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

In a landmark moment for the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children's, a 5-year-old from Bellefontaine, Ohio, received the first dose of a recently approved gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy at Nationwide Children's Hospital, where the therapy was invented and initially tested.

Vaccinated people have lower levels of inflammatory markers after COVID-19 infection

In one of the largest studies of its kind, researchers provide answers to whether COVID-19 vaccinations reduce sickness and mortality following infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Hepatitis C treatment initiation found to be low among Medicaid recipients

While there are highly effective treatments for the hepatitis C virus (HCV), only 1 in 5 Medicaid enrollees diagnosed with HCV started treatment, according to a retrospective study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell University's Ithaca campus.

Menstrual discs hold the most blood, may be best for heavy flow

Amid widely differing capacities of available menstrual hygiene products, a menstrual disc - similar in shape to a diaphragm - may be best for dealing with heavy monthly blood flow as well as indicating excessive blood loss, suggests research published online in the journal BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health.
