Months after hospitalization for COVID-19, MRIs reveal multiorgan damage
This study found abnormal MRI results in 20% to 25% of both controls and hospitalized patients, suggesting “a lot of these cardiac abnormalities that were seen in the COVID group must have been there beforehand.” Post–COVID-19 patients with lingering cardiac symptoms might have disorders like heartbeat irregularities that aren’t always visible with MRI, or dysfunction in other organs, he adds. Although it can offer clues to an organ’s health, MRI is an imperfect measure of how a patient is faring after infection. Researchers found no connection between abnormal liver MRIs and symptoms such as gastroin...

When a Venture Capitalist Met a Scholar

What It Will Take to Avoid a Tripledemic This Winter
Over the coming months, more than 100,000 Americans will likely die, mostly unnecessarily, from respiratory infections. Yes, that is the reality we are now facing this fall and winter—and likely every fall and winter for the foreseeable future. Unless we act. Between flu, COVID-19, and RSV, we are likely looking at a very large number of Americans getting sick, ending up in the hospital, and dying. Most of these Americans will be our most vulnerable: older Americans, the youngest children, and those with chronic diseases. And that number of 100,000 may be an underestimate, given that many of these infections go undet...

Americas ’ first cowboys were enslaved Africans, ancient cow DNA suggests
Think “cowboy,” and you might picture John Wayne riding herd across the U.S. West. But the first cowboys lived in Mexico and the Caribbean, and most of them were Black . That’s the conclusion of a recent analysis of DNA from 400-year-old cow bones excavated on the island of Hispaniola and at sites in Mexico. The work, published in Scientific Reports , also provides evidence that African cattle made it to the Americas at least a century earlier than historians realized. The timing of these African imports—to the early 1600s—suggests the growth of cattle herds may have been connected to the s...
