New study to find COVID-fighting drugs

New study to find COVID-fighting properties in existing medications: Nearly 50 existing prescription medications already used by Australians will be tested by new research in the fight against COVID’s mutant variants. The new research, led by Associate Professor Anthony Kicic from the Curtin School of Population Health and the Wal-yan Respiratory Research Centre at Telethon […]

Half of health care facilities globally lack basic hygiene services

Half of health care facilities worldwide lack basic hygiene services with water and soap or alcohol-based hand rub where patients receive care and at toilets in these facilities, according to the latest Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) report by WHO and UNICEF. Around 3.85 billion people use these facilities, putting them at greater risk of infection, […]

Liver tissue regeneration

If liver tissue has to be removed due to cancer or another liver disease, the organ usually regenerates quickly, soon becoming fully functional once again. Medical science has not yet completely understood the complex processes that enable tissue recovery following resection. Now, for the first time, a MedUni Vienna research team has discovered the vital […]

Neuronal back-up system discovered

Neuronal back-up system discovered: Researchers at MedUni Vienna have discovered that neurons have an emergency back-up system to enable them to remain functional even when their energy supply is disrupted. As in many areas of technology, an emergency back-up serves to compensate for any energy supply failures experienced by neurons. The results of the study […]

Autoimmune disorders increase risk of cardiovascular disease

Autoimmune disorders are associated with a substantially higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than individuals without autoimmune disease, according to a new, large epidemiological study. The research – led by KU Leuven in collaboration with colleagues in the UK, including the University of Glasgow, and published today in The Lancet – shows for the first […]
