Tomorrow's Science For Today's Clinician
The inhalation of the drug, because of its anti-inflammatory property, earlier received attention as a safe and inexpensive treatment method for Covid patient
The study findings will not only help decide the need of a booster dose but also determine the vaccine dosage for all considering these influencing factors.
The AZD7442 PROVENT trial was the first Phase III trial prospectively designed to evaluate a monoclonal antibody for pre-exposure prophylaxis of symptomatic COVID-19, with targeted inclusion of high-risk and immunocompromised participants.
The study also found that the patients who underwent tricuspid valve repair along with mitral valve surgery did not have their condition (tricuspid regurgitation) advancing to a severe stage
The key findings of the study were that a comparatively large proportion of type 2 diabetes patients subjected to the analysis could achieve remission just in routine care, without undergoing other serious medical interventions.
The team’s discovery was significant because it validates the results of a 2009 study that implicated IRP2 in the disease’s development and demonstrates how the gene supports COPD.
With the advancement of technology, scientists would be able to find ways to regenerate lungs, or potentially make new lungs from cells of existing lungs.
The patch, branded as Sylvee, is worn around the lower part of the rib cage to assess the lung function of patients over time.
The key advantages of this point-of-care test are its competence in terms of results as compared to standard lab tests, and the lower cost.
The prevalence of the disease in India increases with age and exponentially after 30 years of age. The estimated prevalence of COPD ranged from 0.1% to 0.9% between the age group of 5 years to 29 years while the incidence ranged from 1.6% to 28.3% in the population above 30 years of age.
