President Biden has released his rollout plan for COVID-19 vaccines in anticipation of approval to use the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5–11 as part of an emergency use authorization. “The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) will be meeting to review the data that was submitted for emergency use authorization on Oct. 26,” says

With global rates of male infertility continuing to rise, a new study in spermatogonial stem cell research led by researchers at the University of Georgia provides hope for future clinical therapies. The study, which was published recently in Fertility and Sterility Science, is the first to show that functional sperm cells can be made in

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, health care professionals have worked hard to develop treatments for patients, and they have learned to manage the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19. From protective measures to monoclonal antibody therapy and other treatments, Dr. Raymund Razonable, a Mayo Clinic infectious diseases expert, discusses the current treatments

Science is examining the brain’s neural activity for applications ranging from innovative therapies for brain-related injuries and disease to computational learning architectures for artificial intelligence and deep neural networks. A research team has developed a tool that lets researchers see more of a live mouse’s brain, to make discoveries that can advance research into the

Biomedical engineers and surgeons at Duke University and UCLA have demonstrated an antibiotic coating that can be applied to orthopedic implants minutes before surgery that eliminates the chances of an infection around the implant. In early trials in mice, the coating prevented all subsequent infections, even without infusions of antibiotics into the bloodstream, which is

For Bangkok market sellers, the armpit sweat soaking their T-shirts during the humid monsoon season may contain subtle signs of coronavirus infection, local scientists have said. Thai researchers are developing a sweat-based mobile virus detector, and road-tested it on shopkeepers at a Bangkok food market this week. “From the samples, we found that people infected

James Cook University scientists have developed a new model to track the COVID pandemic—and it’s telling them Australia should now prioritize delivering the Pfizer vaccine to 12-40 year-olds. Epidemiologist Professor Emma McBryde and mathematician Dr. Michael Meehan from JCU’s Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine produced the model, demonstrated in a new paper in

(HealthDay)—This year of pandemic isolation and anxiety has been tough for many, but an expert says college students are at particularly high risk for mental health issues as they transition from adolescence to adulthood. As students return to their campuses, it’s important for parents to monitor their young adults’ mental health, said Dr. Richard Catanzaro,

Emergency room patients who were flagged by an artificial-intelligence algorithm for possibly having sepsis received antibiotics sooner and had better outcomes, according to a peer-reviewed study conducted by physician-researchers at Case Western Reserve University and MetroHealth. Their findings were published in the journal Critical Care Medicine. “We showed that when providers had access to the

New York City’s indoor vaccine mandate went into effect Tuesday, making it the first major U.S. city to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to eat or drink inside bars and restaurants. The new requirement, which applies to everyone 12 and older, doesn’t just apply to dining but includes nearly every public indoor activity,

(HealthDay)—Young Americans from low-income homes are more likely than those whose families are better off to be unhappy with the way they look and to have an eating disorder, a new study finds.
