CDC issues alert over rising measles cases in the U.S.
Quick Glance: Measles Outbreaks: Lifelong Protection or Need for Booster?
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns of increasing measles outbreaks in the U.S. and abroad, mostly linked to international travel.

  • The MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella is highly effective, with two doses proving 97% effective. A single dose already provides 93% protection.

  • The CDC considers you protected from measles if you either received two vaccine doses, received one dose and do not need a booster, or were born before 1957.

  • Once fully vaccinated, no booster shots are required, and the two doses provide lifelong immunity. Individuals unsure of their childhood vaccination status should consult with their healthcare provider.

COVID Virus Can Remain in the Body Over a Year
Quick Glance: Prolonged Presence of COVID Virus in the Body
  • Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have determined that remnants of the COVID-19 virus can persist in blood and tissue for more than a year after the initial infection.

  • During their examination of long-lasting COVID, scientists identified COVID antigens in the blood up to 14 months post-infection and in tissue samples for over 2 years after the infection.

  • These research findings offer compelling evidence that COVID antigens may endure in certain individuals even following regular immune responses.

  • The UCSF research team is actively engaged in clinical trials to assess the potential of monoclonal antibodies or antiviral medications in eliminating the virus.

COVID Vaccines Reduce Risk of Heart Failure, Clots
Quick Glance: Benefits of COVID Vaccinations for Heart and Blood Vessels
  • A study conducted by the University of Oxford reveals that COVID-19 vaccinations reduce the risk of heart failure and blood clots.

  • The protection provided lasted up to a year and also decreased the likelihood of heart inflammation and specific types of blood clots.

  • These findings were recently published in the journal Heart, indicating that the protection against heart and blood flow issues through vaccinations outweighs associated risks.

  • Analysis of health data from more than 20 million individuals in the UK, Spain, and Estonia demonstrates that vaccinated individuals have a lower risk of heart failure and blood clots.

Severe Flu Confers Higher Risk for Neuro Disorders vs COVID
Quick Glance: Hospitalization for Influenza Associated with Higher Risk of Neurological Disorders
  • An analysis of 77,300 individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to 77,300 hospitalized with influenza revealed that those with influenza had a greater risk of subsequent neurologic disorders such as migraine, stroke, or epilepsy.

  • Participants hospitalized with COVID-19 were significantly less likely in the following year to require medical care for migraine, epilepsy, neuropathy, movement disorders, stroke, and dementia compared to influenza patients.

  • After considering age, sex, and other health conditions, individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 had a lower risk of needing medical care for migraine, epilepsy, and neuropathy than those with influenza.

  • "The results were surprising as they indicate that hospitalization due to COVID does not lead to increased care for common neurologic conditions compared to hospitalization due to influenza," stated lead researcher Brian C. Callaghan, MD, from the University of Michigan.

  • Proposed expansions at the Sagrada Familia are met with resistance due to potential building demolitions in the neighborhood, impacting around 1,000 families and businesses.

  • Despite concerns raised by residents and businesses, the team intends to proceed with the expansion project in line with Gaudí's vision, although legal actions have been taken to halt the contentious stairs.

Poverty in Italy hits new high despite economic recovery
Quick Glance: Poverty in Italy reaches new high despite economic recovery
  • Poverty in Italy reached a new high in 2023 despite an economic rebound since the easing of COVID-related restrictions. According to data from the national statistics bureau ISTAT, the number of people living in 'absolute poverty' - unable to purchase essential goods and services - rose to 5.75 million, or 9.8% of the population.

  • While Italy's economy has recovered more strongly from a 2020-21 COVID-induced recession compared to neighbors like Germany and France, the rebound has done little to help the country's poorest. The percentage of those in absolute poverty was 9.1% in 2020 and 9.0% in 2021, during the peak of the pandemic when government support measures partly offset the recession's impact on families.

  • Except for a decrease in 2019, poverty has steadily risen from 6.9% in 2014 when ISTAT's data series began. Last year, Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government started phasing out a poverty relief subsidy called 'citizens' income' introduced in 2019.

  • Poverty levels in 2023 increased in the north and centre compared to the previous year while decreasing in the south according to ISTAT data. Despite the economic recovery, poverty alleviation remains a challenge in Italy, especially in the poorer southern regions of the country.
