2) Even if we regret the use of the word "post-pandemic", it remains a very interesting and key study.
2) This qualitative study explored care for Long COVID in England through interviews with 21 patients and 15 healthcare professionals. Key themes included the complex physical/mental symptoms experienced by patients and highlighted challenges accessing primary care. 
2) Beginning 2024, 2 mutations, F456L, R346T gave birth to the "FLIRTs". 
2) This systematic review and meta-analysis of 173 studies with 892,312 COVID-19 patients provided a comprehensive assessment of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antibiotic usage during the pandemic. It reported a 42.1% prevalence of multidrug-resistant organism infection ... 
2) Th17 differentiation refers to the process by which naรฏve T cells differentiate into Th17 cells.
2) This study evaluated the association between SARS-CoV-2 viral load and disease severity in 145 COVID-19 patients using a SARS-CoV-2 Duo assay. Viral load positively correlated with severity and hospital stay duration, highest in severe cases at 8.22 log10 IU/mL on average. 
2) In this study, researchers examined the heterogeneity of long-lived antibody-producing plasma cells residing in human bone marrow. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of over 38,000 bone marrow plasma cells, 10 distinct "clans" were identified ... 
2) SARS-CoV-2 infection increases risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia by triggering neuroinflammation and vascular damage, as evidenced by studies linking COVID to later diagnoses. thelancet.com/journals/laneuโฆ
2) This study estimated hourly airborne SARS-CoV-2 transmission risk in daycare rooms by calculating inhaled viral doses from occupancy, activities, and aerosol emission/transport models. Risks significantly varied by room and time ... cell.com/heliyon/fullteโฆ
2) ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ง ๐ด๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ๐บ :
2) The study in Egypt found that the seroprevalence of avian influenza A(H5N1) antibodies was higher among poultry-exposed individuals. Chronic lung disease was a significant risk factor for infection. A(H9N2) infection was also detected ... 
2) A brief summary :
2) COVID-19 (caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus) can cause neurological symptoms like memory loss, cognitive issues, and sensory disruption. These symptoms are sometimes referred to as neuro-COVID.
2) The study tested the effectiveness of an intranasal adjuvant subunit vaccine compared to an intramuscular mRNA vaccine at preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission in hamsters. 
2) Researchers developed a recombinant Newcastle disease virus (rK148) vaccine expressing the H5 hemagglutinin (HA) protein of a clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV). This recombinant vaccine was called rK148/22-H5. 
2) This study analyzed changes in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Hong Kong before, during and after COVID-19. IPD cases substantially decreased 2020-2022 when public health measures were implemented but rebounded in 2023 to pre-pandemic levels.
2) The study evaluated cross-immunity between human and avian influenza (H5N1) strains in healthy people vaccinated for seasonal influenza. 
2) The study evaluated the type-specificity and cross-reactivity of serum antibodies induced by heterologous mRNA SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccines in mice and humans previously vaccinated with mRNA-1273 vaccines. In mice, prior immunity ... 
2) The "Spanish flu" pandemic of 1918 and resulting Encephalitis Lethargica killed millions without identified cause or effective response. COVID-19 showed progress with rapid virus ID and worldwide cooperation enabling swift vaccines ...
2) ME/CFS and LC share fatigue, and neuro/immune/autonomic symptoms. Studies find evidence of immune dysfunction, aberrant metabolism, gut microbiome alterations, and CNS involvement in both. Impairment and chronic inflammation are seen, as are reliance on ... 
2) The researchers performed deep mutational scanning of residues 808-855 of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which spans the S2' cleavage site, fusion peptide and adjacent regions
