New York, NYâIt has become painfully apparent that the United States is a divided nation. Racial and political tensions have escalated, and our leaders have only served to divide us further, rather than fostering unity in a nation that is slowly splintering apart. These are symptoms of a larger, systemic illness that has been brewing for decades.
Nate Link, MD, in his new book Standards of leadership in our political world are sadly deficient, says Dr. Link. As health care institutions have learned about efficiency from automobile manufacturers, about safety from the airline industry, and about customer service from the hotel trade, we are ready to pay it forward, by sharing important lessons in leadership to those who govern our nation.
The results showed that much higher levels of antibodies are needed to neutralize the variants. We re concerned that people whom we d expect to have a protective level of antibodies because they have had COVID-19 or been vaccinated against it, might not be protected against the new variants, said study senior author Dr. Michael Diamond, professor of medicine and of molecular microbiology and of pathology and immunology. There s wide variation in how much antibody a person produces in response to vaccination or natural infection. Some people produce very high levels, and they would still likely be protected against the new, worrisome variants. But some people, especially older and immunocompromised people, may not make such high levels of antibodies, he explained in a university news release.
CHICAGO, United States (Xinhua) A research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis indicates that three new, fast-spreading variants of the virus that cause COVID-19 can evade antibodies that work against the original form of the virus that sparked the pandemic.
Published in Nature Medicine, the study noted that the fast-spreading Covid variants first reported in UK, Brazil and South Africa carried multiple alterations in their spike genes.
