Case Study Shows Coronavirus Infection Can Trigger Recurrent Blood Clots

Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School researchers have discovered that the coronavirus may cause blood clots in an individual’s arms. Their findings, which were reported in the “Viruses” journal, delve into how inflammation brought about by the coronavirus can result in upper extremity blood clots. This case study is part of a bigger study by the institution involving a group of patients that had contracted the coronavirus infection and were either discharged or admitted to a hospital between March and May of last year. While researchers do know that the disease may cause lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, this is…

University of Washington Study Suggests Coronavirus Fatalities May Be Higher Than Official Reports Have Indicated

Researchers from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (“IHME”) at the University of Washington have discovered evidence suggesting that the number of individuals who have succumbed to the coronavirus is higher than official reports have indicated. The team performed an analysis on fatalities caused by the coronavirus and reported its findings on the IHME website. Many physicians involved in the fight against the pandemic agree that the number of individuals who have succumbed to this fatal disease is higher than official reports have shown. The discrepancy in numbers is mainly because many individuals who died weren’t listed as coronavirus…

Study Finds That Mental Health is Essential in Recovery from Cardiac Events

Recent research that was presented at the 70th Annual Scientific Session, which is held by the American College of Cardiology, has found that middle-aged and young adults who have been diagnosed with conditions such as anxiety or depression after they’ve suffered cardiac arrest have twice a higher chance of suffering from a second heart attack when compared with individuals who experience mild levels of distress. Researchers noted that the study evaluates how mental health impacts the outlook for cardiac arrest survivors. They added that they also tracked inflammatory markers that may contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases among…

New Technique Promises to Deliver Cancer Drugs More Effectively

A University of Massachusetts team has created a nanoparticle that could potentially transform the way different diseases, including cancer, are treated. The approach combines two methods that allow medicine to be delivered to targeted cells more effectively. At the moment, one of the best new ways to deliver anti-cancer medicine is by using biologics (i.e., protein-based medications). The major benefits of this method are that the biologics have the capacity to replace proteins that have malfunctioned within a cell, and these drugs have minimal adverse side effects. The chief downside of biologics is that the particles are large, which limits…

New Study Links Neurodegenerative Diseases to Gut Bacteria Changes

New research done by a team from the University of Florida has uncovered evidence that links the manifestation of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and ALS to the presence of specific bacteria types in the gut. Previous research had pointed to gut microbiota changes in people who suffered from neurodegenerative conditions. However, the huge diversity of bacteria in the digestive tract made it a daunting task to pinpoint the specific bacteria types connected to neurodegenerative diseases. This is the challenge that the University of Florida team took head on. Rather than study the gut microorganisms of humans, the researchers…
