Last Christmas – a Xmas Gothic
Last Christmas by David Bradley (PDF/Kindle version here)
Funnily enough, it was four years to the day since the fourth variant had emerged. So, it was Christmas Day. Four years since the death toll passed 200 million. What a gift. Four years since the last dying embers of the theory of herd immunity had burned out and even the rich and the beyond-rich were suffering.
Four years. It’s hard to believe. What started as a very localised outbreak, with a mere handful of hospitalisations had quickly thrown the global community into panic and ultimately pandemic. The present that keeps on giving. Each genetic mutation unwrappi...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, December 28th 2020
In conclusion, our study demonstrated that the molecular processes of aging are relatively subtle in their progress, and the aging process of every tissue depends on the tissue's specialized function and environment. Hence, individual gene or process alone cannot be described as the key of aging in the whole organism.
Mouse Age Matters: How Age Affects the Murine Plasma Metabolome
A large part of metabolomics research relies on experiments involving mouse models, which are usually 6 to 20 weeks of age. However, in this age range mice undergo dramatic developmental changes. Even small age differences may l...

Data for COVID-19 Mortality in Older People in the US
The general consensus on mortality due to COVID-19 is that it falls most heavily on people who are more impacted by aging: poor immune function when it comes to defense against pathogens; high levels of chronic inflammation that create a greater susceptibility to the way in which SARS-CoV-2 kills people; existing chronic disease; and a mortality rate that is already high even setting aside the pandemic. When younger people die due to the virus, in much smaller numbers, it is where they share these characteristics of inflammation, deficient immune systems, and chronic disease. This level of morbidity is unusual in younger i...

Encouraging clinical data for universal flu vaccine candidate
by Helen Stillwell The results from a phase I clinical trial to test the safety and immunogenicity of a universal flu vaccine candidate reported encouraging results – strong titers of broad and functional antibodies persisted for over a year in healthy adults following vaccination. Influenza viruses contain segmented RNA genomes. The viral envelope contains two types glycoproteins […]

The Year When Everything Changed: Covid, Self Care and High Tech Innovation In Medicine
By HANS DUVEFELT
Life as we knew it and medicine as we had viewed it shapeshifted so dramatically in the past year that it is still hard to believe.
Medicine has started to move from an in-person only profession to one that finally recognizes that clinical assessment and treatment have fewer boundaries than people assumed. A patient of mine with newly diagnosed mastocytosis had a productive first consultation with an immunologist hundreds of miles away right from her own living room.
Efficiency increased when we could handle straightforward clinical issues electronically, even over the telephone, and still get...

Should you take the Covid-19 Vaccine if You ’re Pregnant?
(Updated 12/27/20)
The FDA took an important step on Friday by authorizing the Emergency Use for Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine.
Recognizing the risks inherent in COVID-19 infection can be significant, while those identified to date for its vaccine appear to be low, they have not advised against vaccination during pregnancy. However, its important to note that have they not specifically approved the vaccine for use in pregnancy. That’s because we have only limited animal and human data on use of the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
This is incredibly frustrating to those of us ...

The CDC was distributing vaccine to state and local health departments, and we were in turn responsible for getting it out to our […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Why are mRNA vaccines so exciting?
The very first vaccines for COVID-19 to complete Phase 3 testing are an entirely new type: mRNA vaccines. Vaccines of this type have never before been approved for use in any disease. How do they differ from traditional vaccines, and what makes them so exciting?
How traditional vaccines work
The main goal of a vaccine for a particular infectious agent, such as the virus that causes COVID-19, is to teach the immune system what that virus looks like. Once educated, the immune system will vigorously attack the actual virus, if it ever enters the body.
Viruses contain a core of genes made of DNA or RNA wrapped in a coat of pro...

Common cold, flu, or coronavirus?
In the early days of the outbreak, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was repeatedly compared to the flu (influenza) and even to the common cold (rhinoviruses, et al). This was due to an initial impression of shared symptoms.
The differences between these conditions are particularly important as we kick off National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) and the ‘flu season’. So, how can we tell which of these diseases we are dealing with in a given patient?
Common cold
Let’s start with the common cold, a condition that can be caused by over 200 different strains of viruses. On average, an adult wil...

New App Takes Pain Away For Vaccinations
An independent pharmacy group in Halifax, Nova Scotia used a new platform to streamline the administration of flu vaccinations. The platform not only reduced the burden on pharmacists, but it also improved the overall experience for people in the community looking to get their flu shots. The pharmacy group is now well positioned to aid […]
