Children and adolescents were twice as likely to experience long Covid after contracting Covid for the second time, compared to their peers with a single previous infection.

The results show that childhood cancer survivors had a lower risk of contracting COVID 19, but were 58 per cent more likely to develop severe disease if they did become infected.

Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of nerve tissue in the nose, researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) and colleagues have discovered that one type of stem cell thought to be dormant may play a more significant role in preserving the sense of smell than originally believed.

A new type of mRNA vaccine is more scalable and adaptable to continuously evolving viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and H5N1, according to a study by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and the Pennsylvania State University.

People with excess weight are more likely to experience long-term neurological and mental health symptoms after Covid-19, including headache, vertigo, smell and taste disorders, sleep disturbance, and depression.

Renowned experts from diverse fields highlighted the urgent need for gender-sensitive healthcare policies and women-centric preventive diagnostics. The key issues they raised in women's health included cancer screening, mental well-being, and the role of integrated diagnostics in early disease detection.

Antidepressants, such as Prozac, are routinely used to treat mental health issues, but recent research reveals they may also protect against major infections and life-threatening sepsis. Scientists at the Salk Institute have now discovered how medications regulate the immune system and protect against infectious disease, providing insights that could lead to a new generation of life-saving treatments and improve global readiness for future pandemics.

A Covid-19 diagnosis is no longer as frightening as it used to be, thanks to developments in treatment choices. However, a new study reveals that leukocyte (white blood cell) count may now be used to identify who is more likely to develop more significant disease symptoms.

New research presented at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that anatomic lung resections, such as lobectomy and segmentectomy, are associated with better long-term survival than wedge resection for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, discovered that measuring three independent biological markers in a blood sample can better predict the risk of major cardiovascular events over the next three decades than measuring only one.
