NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! COVID-19 vaccines protect most cancer patients from contracting COVID or severe cases, however; those with blood cancers do not get the same protective benefit, according to a research study at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center in Indianapolis.  Vaccinated Patients with blood cancer may have a "higher and widely varied risk" of breakthrough infections of COVID, according to a published study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. "Patients with hematologic cancers, or blood cancers, including leukemia, multiple myeloma and lymphoma, were at a higher risk of breakthrough COVID," and "those with blood cancers had a greater risk than solid cancers," the researchers stated in a release sent to Fox News abou...

Revolutionary tool will meet future pandemics with accelerated response. A new tool speeds up development of vaccines and other pharmaceutical products by more than one million times while minimizing costs. In search of pharmaceutical agents such as new vaccines, industry will routinely scan thousands of related candidate molecules. A novel technique allows this to take place on the nano scale, minimizing use of materials and energy. The work is published in the prestigious journal Nature Chemistry. More than 40,000 different molecules can be synthesized and analyzed within an area smaller than a pinhead. The method, developed through a highly interdisciplinary research effort in Denmark, promises to drastically reduce the amounts of material, energy, and economic cost for p...

One of the lingering mysteries of the COVID-19 pandemic is why some people get infected without getting sick and others don't get infected at all, despite exposure. Beyond a few known risk factors, it's mostly dumb luck that determines how someone will fare if they are exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19, a handful of researchers said.

People with the "hybrid immunity" of having been both fully vaccinated and previously infected with COVID-19 have the strongest protection against the virus, two new studies said on Friday.   After two years of a pandemic that has seen nearly 500 million people infected and billions vaccinated, the studies highlighted the importance of getting jabbed for those who have natural immunity after recovering from the disease. One of the two studies published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases medical journal analyzed the health data of more than 200,000 people in 2020 and 2021 in hard-hit Brazil, which has the world's second-largest COVID death toll. It found that for people who have already had COVID, Pfizer and AstraZeneca's vaccines offered 90 percent effectiveness against hospitalizatio...

Pregnant people vaccinated against the novel coronavirus are almost twice as likely to be infected with the coronavirus, according to a new study based on 14 million medical records. Driving the news: A new medical analysis reviewed medical records for about 14 million people since the vaccine was first distributed, per The Washington Post. The study found that “pregnant people who are vaccinated have the greatest risk of developing covid among a dozen medical states, including being an organ transplant recipient and having cancer,” according to The Washington Post. What they said: “If you are fully vaccinated, that’s magnificent,” David Little, a physician and lead author of the study, told The Washington Post. “But if you are fully vaccinat...

Due to the seriousness of the condition, septic shock involves a number of complications including respiratory failure, heart failure, kidney failure and abnormal blood clotting. The individual's chance of survival is based upon the number of organs that have failed. However, there are treatment options for medical professionals to try on patients with septic shock. This mainly involves oxygen therapy and increasing blood flow in order to raise blood pressure. To increase the blood flow to your vital organs, such as the brain, liver, kidneys and heart, individuals may be prescribed inotropic medicines or vasopressors. The former, inotropic medicines (inotropes), stimulate the heart. They increase the strength of your heartbeat, which helps get oxygen-rich blood to your tissues and organs,...

Cancer test that can reveal best medicine for each patient could be a breakthrough in speeding up treatment, scientists say Cancer patients have been given new hope with a test that analyses tumours  It can predict the most effective drugs for individual patients with cancer   The breakthrough will go a long way in the fight against cancer across the world  By Shaun Wooller Health Correspondent For The Daily Mail Published: 19:00 EDT, 3 April 2022 | Updated: 19:04 EDT, 3 April 2022 <!-- <!-- <!-- <!-- <!-- (function (src, d, tag){ var s = d.createElement(tag), prev = d.getElementsByTagName(tag)[0]; s.src = src; prev.parentNode.insertBefore(s, prev); }("https://www.dailymail.co.uk/static/gunther/1.17.0/async_b...
