Alzheimer’s: Elective revascularisation

People with and without Alzheimer’s have a different threshold for elective revascularisation, but outcomes are similar. The risk of both mortality and rehospitalisation after an elective revascularisation procedure for coronary artery disease is similar for people with and without Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but people with AD had worse outcomes after an emergency procedure, according to […]

Aspirin preferred to prevent blood clots in kids after heart surgery

Aspirin should be favoured over warfarin to prevent blood clotting in children who undergo a surgery that replumbs their hearts, according to a new study. The research, led by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and published in The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, will have implications for clinicians when prescribing blood thinning medications after Fontan surgery, […]

Research discovery shows viruses can ‘hijack’ cellular process in order to block immune response

Research discovery shows viruses can ‘hijack’ cellular process in order to block immune response: Research led by Queen’s University Belfast and McGill University has found that viruses, (small microbes that cause diseases such as the common cold, measles, or COVID-19) can ‘hijack’ an existing molecular process in the cell in order to block the body’s […]

New study suggests better approach in search for COVID-19 drugs

New study suggests better approach in search for COVID-19 drugs: Research from the University of Kent, Goethe-University in Frankfurt am Main, and the Philipps-University in Marburg has provided crucial insights into the biological composition of SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19, revealing vital clues for the discovery of antiviral drugs. Researchers compared SARS-CoV-2 and the closely […]
