    Certain immune cells that people have produced in the past against cold coronaviruses boost the immune response against SARS-CoV-2 - both during natural infection and after vaccination.

  • Edoxaban non-inferior to vitamin K antagonist in TAVI patients

    Anticoagulation strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF) with edoxaban or vitamin K antagonists (VKA) were evaluated in patients post transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in the ENVISAGE-TAVI AF trial.

  • Valsartan: Possible attenuation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy progression

    A trial investigated valsartan's potential in slowing HCM disease course , with a significantly positive influence on relative cardiac remodelling in the valsartan group.

  • EMPEROR-Preserved trial: Light at the end of the tunnel for HFpEF patients

    The landmark trial shwowed a clinically meaningful 21% reduction in primary composite outcomes and positive results in secondary outcomes with empagliflozin therapy for HFpEF patients.

  • Implanted monitor can predict threatening complications after heart attack

    An implanted heart monitor detects more signs of dangerous complications in patients who have survived a heart attack than conventional follow-up care.

  • The Himalayas, 1998: My first encounter with anti-vaxxers

    Prof. Peschanski shares the tragic story of how, in 1998, he first encountered the anti-vaxxer world. A painful story that he never shared until today, encouraged by the controversies over COVID vaccines.

  • Is the misuse of artificial intelligence dangerous for our health?

    Dr. Joris Galland explores ways in which physicians and AI can work together and compliment each other in the future of healthcare.

  • Detect and treat diseases earlier with artificial intelligence

    TU Dresden researchers developed a bio-compatible implantable AI platform that classifies healthy and pathological patterns in biological signals and detects pathological changes without medical supervision.

    The 2021 edition will cover treatment, basic research, philosophy/anthropology, and implementation of the clinical applications and emerging trends in the field of psychedelic treatments.

  • Detailed "catalogue" of degradation products in cells created

    A group of researchers from Switzerland have visualised and catalogued "blueprints" that lead to defective proteins.

  • Possible paradigm shift in immunology through "adaptive tolerance"?

    Applications of this dynamic immunological model from Ulm, Germany range from the development of new diabetes therapies to vaccine research.

  • France: The "Parcours Stup" podcast, a new voice in addictology

    On Parcours Stup, we talk about individuals and drugs, lives and substances, physiological effects and treatment. It is a podcast where all voices are equal and are addressed to both caregivers and substance users.
