Researchers have designed an antibody that can recognise specific proteins on the surface of aged cells.

Canadians concerned over waning immunity from COVID-19 vaccines, breakthrough infections and the need for booster shots in the general public could benefit from a dose of some important context, experts say. Antibodies, your first line of defence against COVID-19 infection, do decline — and may even be doing so as you're reading this — but that's not unexpected.

A doctor said "it's like you aged 20 years all at once," said Kate Husband, diagnosed with a brain injury "related to a directional phenomenon exposure.”

Exploratory research using an accepted, yet experimental, model of Parkinson’s disease found that CBD isolate may improve the symptoms associated with the condition. It also discovered it is potentially neuroprotective which could decrease disease progression. CBD isolate from cannabis Sativa L aerial parts, Bod MediCabilis™100 CBD Isolate, was given to animal test subjects for 28 days.

Exhausted amid hospital staff shortages and emotionally depleted, health care workers are also facing growing skepticism and rage from patients.

The calculations in the study by researchers at The University of Ottawa were used to promote the idea that the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe for use.

The treatment reduced the risk of reaching mechanical ventilation by 44%. ICU admissions were lower by 43%, and an overall in-hospital mortality saw a 47% decrease.

A new study questions whether current global salt limits are too low. But don’t reach for the salt just yet – the guidelines are unlikely to change any time soon.

Research at a hospital swamped by people with COVID-19 has confirmed that portable air filters effectively remove SARS-CoV-2 particles from the air — the first such evidence in a real-world setting1. The results suggest that air filters could be used to reduce the risk of patients and medical staff contracting SARS-CoV-2 in hospitals, the study’s authors say.
