    New Study Challenges Common Belief: Diseases May Not Have Spread Easily from European Ships to New World Populations

    Broke On: Saturday, 27 July 2024 Two UCLA scientists used mathematical modeling to calculate the probability of diseases spreading from European explorers to new lands during ocean voyages. They found that smallpox had a lower chance of transmission than measles or influenza on Columbus' Santa Maria in 1492, but factors like voyage length and ship size could increase the odds. The introduction of steam ships significantly raised the risk of carrying diseases to distant destinations.

    Long COVID and ME/CFS: An Opportunity to Fund Biomedical Research into Infection-Associated Chronic Illnesses

    Broke On: Thursday, 15 February 2024 Long COVID is a debilitating condition that affects millions of Americans and shares many symptoms with ME/CFS, a disease that has been neglected by the CDC. Long COVID may be triggered by persistent viral infection or immune dysregulation after SARS-CoV-2 infection, which also increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and multiple sclerosis. Children are not spared from the effects of long COVID, which can impair their health and development.

  • Rise in Childhood Pneumonia Cases Linked to Known Respiratory Germs

    Broke On: Monday, 04 December 2023 Childhood pneumonia cases are increasing in several countries, but the cause is not a new virus or pathogen. Known respiratory germs, such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria, are expected for this time of year. Co-infections with multiple respiratory viruses can lead to more severe symptoms. Antibiotic resistance may be contributing to the higher number of cases in China.
