Researchers from Naval Medical University have made a significant discovery in understanding the mechanisms behind sepsis-induced lung injury, a life-threatening condition. According to a new report, the gut-lung axis plays a critical role in the development of septic lung injury, and a novel treatment using oral manganese-doped carbon dots (Mn-CDs)
COVID-19
A recent study from Jena University Hospital, Germany, has investigated the effect of COVID-19 on liver and kidney transplantation. The research team conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 studies, including seven that were included for meta-analysis. The study found that transplanting organs from COVID-19-positive donors did not significantly
COVID-19
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has developed two intranasal vaccine candidates, one monovalent and one trivalent, that provide broad protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission. The research, conducted by a team of scientists at Ohio State University, used the attenuated measles virus
Columbia University
Research conducted at 12 liver transplant centers in the United States over two years examined the incidence and risk factors for postoperative infections after pediatric liver transplantation. The study found that 23% of patients (76 out of 327) developed postoperative infections, with bacterial, viral, fungal, and polymicrobial infections accounting for
COVID-19
Researchers have found that respiratory viruses remain the leading cause of acute respiratory tract infections in both children and adults, with significant morbidity and healthcare burden, despite the COVID-19 pandemic's disruption of seasonal circulation patterns. A recent study published in Frontiers in Microbiology analyzed 748 nasopharyngeal swab samples
Pediatrics
A new study by researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) has shed light on the application of metabolomics in diagnosing sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonatal and pediatric populations. The comprehensive review aims to evaluate the potential of metabolomics in identifying biomarkers associated with sepsis

Bacterial infections
A retrospective study of 94 cases of cutaneous non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections (NTM) in Germany over a 24-year period has been conducted. The aim of the study was to characterize these infections, which remain a significant challenge for diagnosis and treatment. The research found that exposure to fish tanks was the
COVID-19
Research conducted by the Environmental Research Group at Imperial College London has found a significant association between long-term air pollution exposure and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 hospitalization, and mortality. The study analyzed data from cohort studies with individual-level information and found that exposure to particulate matter less than
COVID-19
Pregnant women infected with Covid-19 may pass on a higher risk of neurodevelopment disorders to their children, according to a new study published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology. The researchers analyzed over 18,000 births and found that children born to mothers with Covid-19 during pregnancy were more likely

Infection
A groundbreaking study published in The New England Journal of Medicine has demonstrated the efficacy of a vaccine against Salmonella Paratyphi A infection, a major contributor to enteric fever that causes over 100,000 deaths and 8 million disability-adjusted life years annually. The Oxford-led research used a controlled human infection
