Indirect evidence links long COVID [...]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has come under fire for failing to publish large segments of data related to COVID-19.  The data includes statistics on hospitalizations and the efficacy of booster shots.

Authors: Ahmed A, Ghit A, Houjak A, Elkazzaz M DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.102923 Abstract Zinc is a trace metal ion that has a role in both physiological and pathological processes, making it one of the most common and necessary components involved in brain function. Besides, zinc is required for cell proliferation control in a variety of mechanisms, [...]

Authors: Zhao Y, Jia M, Chen W, Liu Z PMID: 35218914 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2022.02.021 Abstract Intermittent fasting (IF) has been studied for its effects on lifespan and the prevention or delay of age-related diseases upon the regulation of metabolic pathways. Mitochondria participate in key metabolic pathways and play important roles in maintaining intracellular signaling networks that [...]

Authors: Nguyen B, Tosti A PMID: 35224518 PMCID: PMC8860672 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdin.2022.02.006 Abstract Background: COVID-19 is associated with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), telogen effluvium (TE), and alopecia areata (AA). No studies have analyzed the aggregate data to date. Objective: We conducted a systematic review to characterize the types, incidence, timing, and clinical outcomes of COVID-19-associated alopecia. Methods: [...]
