9th Influenza Conference 2023
The bidirectional relationship between influenza and diabetes mellitus
The IDC partner symposium addressed questions like why influenza and diabetes are important to consider jointly; whether there is a bidirectional relationship; role of influenza vaccination on diabetes progression; how to improve vaccination uptake...
International scientific community gathers in Valencia for the 9th ESWI Conference on Influenza, COVID-19, and RSV
Since it was established 30 years ago, the European Scientific Working Group on Influenza and other Acute Respiratory Viruses (ESWI) is hosting the 9TH ESWI Influenza Conference
SARS-CoV-2-related mortality decrease in nursing home residents given multiple COVID-19 boosters
Two doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in the primary series and a booster dose induce a strong antibody response, however, this response can be weak in people older than 80 years.
Antibody neutralisation of emerging SARS-CoV-2 subvariants: EG.5.1 and XBC.1.6
Although WHO has declared an end to the emergency phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has continued to spread and evolve, giving rise to new variants.
Guidance for Developing a Sustainable Multistakeholder Immunization Coalition
Insights from immunization coalition experts and analysis of successful immunization coalitions
International Pediatric COVID-19 Severity Over the Course of the Pandemic
This cohort study suggested that while intensive care unit admission decreased over the course of the pandemic in all age groups, ventilatory and oxygen support did not decrease over time in children aged younger than 5 years.
Pandemic preparedness, response and recovery: Lessons learnt for global pharmacy
Investing in science and innovation is one of six key areas of development needed to prepare for future pandemics, according to a new report conducted by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP).
CYP19A1 mediates severe SARS-CoV-2 disease outcome in males
Male sex represents one of the major risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcome. However, underlying mechanisms that mediate sex-dependent disease outcome are as yet unknown.
Viruses - a major cause of amyloid deposition in the brain
Clinically, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a syndrome with a spectrum of various cognitive disorders.
COVID-19 pandemic: a catalyst for accelerating global action on patient safety
The disruption of health systems during the pandemic led to an increase in clinical risks and patient harm due to the accentuation of safety gaps, interruption of essential health services, and failure to provide timely diagnosis and treatment.
Co-evolution of immunity and seasonal influenza viruses
Seasonal influenza viruses cause recurring global epidemics by continually evolving to escape host immunity. The viral constraints and host immune responses that limit and drive the evolution of these viruses are increasingly well understood.
The SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Mutation Explorer: using an interactive application to improve the public understanding of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern
The rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 resulted in variations in the spike that enhanced transmissibility or weakened vaccine protection.
