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.

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.

Quick Glance: Seoul Bus Drivers' Strike Causes Morning Commute Delays
  • On Thursday, unionized bus drivers in Seoul went on a general strike to demand a wage hike, resulting in the near complete halt of bus operations in the capital and leading to delays for commuters during the morning rush hour.

  • Following unsuccessful last-minute wage negotiations, the union with approximately 18,000 members at 65 companies proceeded with their threatened strike, impacting 7,210 intracity buses, constituting 97.6 percent of the capital's bus services.

  • This general strike, the first since 2012, brought about significant inconveniences for passengers during the morning rush hour, causing delays in travel times for commuters and catching uninformed passengers off guard.

  • To alleviate passenger inconveniences, the city government ramped up subway operations for the morning and evening rush hours and extended the subway operating hours until 2 a.m.
