Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, has made the statement that more research is required in order to better understand till what extent a person can spread COVID-19 who doesnt show any symptoms of the virus infection.
The WHO chief in a virtual press conference made the statement that from early February they were suggesting that asymptomatic people have the probability to transmit COVID-19, but they need to research more to establish the extent of asymptomatic transmission.
New drugs are likely to get approval fast if it can target a gene that is known to be linked with the disease. This was a recent finding and many pharmaceutical companies can gain from this while focusing on the drug development. This finding from Emily King and colleagues has been published in the PLOS Genetics.
A low percent of potential new drugs that are being developed pass through the early stage of the clinical trials. The percentage is around 5 to 10% which only cause losses to the p
An international group of 17 leading experts specializing in chronic conditions have made claims that COVID-19 can trigger the onset of diabetes in normal healthy people while can lead to several complications in people suffering from diabetes. Stephanie A. Amiel, the scientist from Kings College London, UK, made the statement that COVID-19 and diabetes have a bidirectional relationship.

According to a new U.S. government report, the death rates are higher for chronic illness patients owing to COVID-19. It was stated that the death rate is 12 times higher.
In the report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the dangers created by the diabetes, heart disease, and lung ailments were highlighted. In the report, these were the first three health problems that were recorded by the COVID-19 patients.
On the basis of 1.3 million coronavirus cases, which were
A person who is infected from coronavirus has high chances of nervous system damage, based on the recent studies by the scientists.

New information has been updated about how simple tools can be helpful in minimizing the spread of coronavirus. In a new study, it has been seen that in parts of the U.S. where it is mandatory to wear face masks, around 450,000 cases has been prevented. In the meantime, there was another study that found improved ventilation system can lower the amount of time period wherein the respiratory droplets remain in the air.
The researchers have claimed that indoors the coronavirus can float in the
Scientists have found by studying on the mice that they can turn off a gene that is the possible cause to form breast cancer. They have claimed that by silencing the gene the tumor shrinks and also helps in preventing the spread of the cancerous cells around the body.
The American Cancer Society has reported that in the United States approximately one in eight of the women have chances to develop breast cancer. As per records, in the year 2019, there were around 268,600 new cases recorded fo
As the lockdown restrictions are being eased, people have started to go out of their houses. They have started to meet up their family and friends, have started going to office, and have started carrying out their daily schedules but with the risk of the novel disease COVID-19.
This leniency in the lockdown and people going outside has prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to issue major recommendations for the people while moving out. It has mentioned to include some
In order to make vaccines there are several requirements such as raw materials, pharmaceutical ingredients, and others. Right now, the drug companies around the world are facing shortage of glass vials.
There are at least 11 COVID-19 vaccines around the world that have advanced towards clinical trials. In this situation where the situations are getting worse and the number of COVID-19 patients are increasing the companies and the governments are finding out ways in which they can deal with t
A major change has been updated by the American Cancer Society (ACS) regarding the guidelines on cancer prevention and reduction mentioning that for improved results it is better to stop the consumption of alcohol completely.
The ACS has mentioned the new guideline as It is best not to drink alcohol.
