A new vaccine against Covid-19 developed in Brazil could start being tested in humans later this year. The immunizer showed good results in animal studies, which were published this month in the journal Nature Communications. Scientists have already received authorization from the National Research Ethics Commission (Conep) to start the clinical trial and are now awaiting the green light from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). “We have already delivered to Anvisa all the [...]

Every day we inhale thousands of potentially pathogenic fungal spores, but our immune system simply eliminates them. In people who have compromised immunity — such as transplant recipients, patients undergoing cancer treatment or hospitalized in an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) —, however, this interaction between pathogen and host can be quite different. An example is the cases of fungal infections that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic and potentiated the action of SARS-CoV-2 on [...]

A study published in the scientific journal ‘European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience’ has found a link between loss of smell or taste after passing COVID-19 with memory problems. Studies conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic showed that loss of smell could be an early sign of the impending onset of Alzheimer’s disease. There is evidence in the scientific literature that this sensory disorder can appear years before the first cognitive symptoms, which [...]

Neurological problems are among the most frequent complications of covid-19 outside the pulmonary system and affect more than 30% of patients. Memory loss, lack of concentration and attention, slow thinking, drowsiness, excessive fatigue, anxiety, depression, language difficulties and other cognitive and brain damage can be effects of the disease. The conclusions are from a study coordinated by the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) and the University of São Paulo (USP) and [...]
