Researchers at Nankai University, in collaboration with the Tianjin Union Medical Center, have developed an interpretable machine learning model that accurately diagnoses common respiratory virus infections, including influenza A and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, in patients. The study, published in the journal Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, utilized a dataset of 7,471

Patients with long Covid suffer from long-term fatigue, brain fog, and breathlessness, similar to levels seen in Parkinson's or stroke survivors, according to a new study. Researchers assessed 121 adults who contracted Covid-19 and found that 86% of them reported clinically significant disability and participation limitations in daily

A new study from the Children's Hospital of Soochow University in Suzhou, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China, has found that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered the epidemiology of adenoviral infections in children. The research, conducted in partnership with the Suzhou Municipal Health Commission, aimed to

Researchers at the Faculty of Medicine in Zabrze, Poland, have conducted a study comparing the immune responses of healthy individuals who received either Comirnaty (Pfizer) or Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) vaccinations, with or without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study analyzed 134 volunteers, with 71 recipients of Comirnaty (36 with prior infection) and

Portable air cleaners aim to prevent the indoor spread of infections by removing viruses and other disease-causing pathogens from the air. However, a new review of nearly 700 studies found that most of these devices have not been tested for their effectiveness in people. Furthermore, very few studies evaluate their

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of improving indoor air quality to prevent the spread of airborne infections. However, a review of nearly 700 studies on portable air cleaners reveals that many of these devices have been poorly tested for their effectiveness in reducing infections in people. Furthermore, most studies

Researchers have discovered that inflammation caused by infections such as COVID-19 and influenza can reactivate dormant cancer cells, leading to the resurgence of metastatic disease. However, a new experimental antiviral drug, NV-387, may hold the key to mitigating this risk. Developed by NanoViricides, NV-387 has shown promise in preclinical studies

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences have published a new study analyzing the antiviral response of natural killer (NK) cells and monocytes in vaccinated individuals facing SARS-CoV-2 variant breakthrough infections. The study found that NK cells and monocytes play a crucial role in controlling viral replication during SARS-CoV-2

A recent study published in the Journal of Medical Virology has shed light on the differences in COVID-19 outcomes between males and females infected with various SARS-CoV-2 variants. The research, which was supported by the FDA Office of Women's Health fund, used age-matched female and male K18-hACE2 transgenic

A recent case study presented in the journal COVID has documented a rare instance where COVID-19 infection mimicked metastatic cancer in a patient's whole-body PET/CT imaging. The study, published on August 12, 2025, describes a patient who underwent extensive diagnostic procedures, including biopsies, which ultimately revealed a
