email article The vast majority of dialysis patients infected with COVID-19 maintained antibodies for at least 6 months, a new study found. In a prospective analysis of over 2,000 adults on dialysis, 93% of seroprevalent patients reached an assay detectable response -- a SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) IgG index value of 1 or higher -- and maintained this level throughout a 6-month follow-up, reported Shuchi Anand, MD, of Stanford University in California, and colleagues. On top of that, 60% of patients had IgG index values of 10 or greater -- classified as high -- the ...

email article Pregnant patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had a lower risk of mortality than those who were not pregnant, a retrospective cohort study found. The mortality rate was less than 1% for pregnant women who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and viral pneumonia, as compared to 3.5% in the nonpregnant population, reported Beth Pineles, MD, PhD, of the McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in Houston, and colleagues. The median time from hospital admission to death was 18 days in the pregnant cohort versus 12 days among patients who were not pregnant, they wrote in a brief report in...

55 which revealed that males have a higher risk of hyperuricemia. The higher likelihood of hyperuricemia in males than females may be due to the action of sex hormones, in that the female sex hormone estrogen helps in the excretion of uric acid and could have the ability to maintain blood uric acid levels. 56,57 Besides, the risk of exposure to environmental and dietary factors that aid the synthesis of purine is higher in males than females, which may also contribute to the production of more uric acid owing to regulatory activity of purine metabolism, which further results in the release of...

© Pixabay / Engin_Akyurt The diapers most of us are wearing on our face most of the time apparently have no effect at stopping Covid-19. This explains a lot. Did you hear about the peer-reviewed study done by Stanford University that demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that face masks have absolutely zero chance of preventing the spread of Covid-19? No? It was posted on the the National Center for Biological Information government website. The NCBI is a branch of the National Institute for Health, so one would think such a study would be widely reported by mainstream media and embraced by...
