  3. New Study Shows Lung Cancer Surveillance in the United States Misses Most Patients; Northwestern Medicine Investigators Urge Universal Age-based Screening

    ' The scan that takes less than 10 seconds and doesn’t need any intravenous dyes provides a complete picture of the chest cavity, creating a baseline image patients can keep for life. This approach also addresses critical gaps in preventive care, particularly for the growing number of patients experiencing lasting respiratory effects from COVID-19 and other environmental exposures.

    “Nearly six years after the pandemic’s start, we’re seeing increasing numbers of patients with lung scarring and fibrosis from COVID-19, especially those who get reinfected with respiratory viruses,” said Dr. Bharat. “The damage compounds with each infection. Early detection through comprehensive screening can help us intervene before these conditions progress to requiring transplantation.” '

  5. Triple #combination of #Remdesivir, #Molnupiravir & #Ribavirin is highly efficient in inhibiting #coronavirus #replication in #human nasal #airway epithelial cell cultures & in a #hamster infection model. Antiviral Res.: sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    Combining Remdesivir, molnupiravir, & ribavirin increases the antiviral efficacy against coronavirus OC43. This triple therapy also eliminates #SARS-CoV-2 replication in #lungs of infected hamsters, unlike double combinations.

    Cellular immune responses & #antigen-specific #IgA antibodies in #lungs were also observed. Comparison of sa-mRNA vaccines encoding secreted & membrane-anchored full-length HA revealed that anchoring of HA to the membrane significantly enhanced the antibody and cellular responses.

  7. A developer of messenger RNA therapies for respiratory and rare diseases says it received clearance to begin a clinical trial in the U.K. for an inhaled treatment for viral lung conditions.
