Researchers from the University of Oxford have used data from UK Biobank participants to look at changes to the brain on average 4.5 months after mild SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy (RECOVERY) trial has demonstrated that baricitinib, an anti-inflammatory treatment normally used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, reduces the risk of death when given to hospitalised patients with severe COVID-19.
A new analysis from Oxford Population Health has found that pregnant women that are 30 years old or more, overweight, of mixed ethnicity or have gestational diabetes have a greater risk of contracting severe COVID-19, which poses significant risks for both mother and baby.
The wide-ranging effects of Long COVID and the associated issues for healthcare providers have been revealed in a new review of the major studies into the condition, which specifically highlights the impact of Long COVID on the cardiovascular system.
INTERCOVID-2022: The University of Oxford is to launch the 2022 round of the global study to evaluate the effects of Covid-19 variants and vaccination in pregnancy.
The University of Oxford's Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert has been named a Laureate of the 5th Sunhak Peace Prize for her efforts to protect global health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Researchers have identified abnormalities in the lungs of long COVID patients who are experiencing breathlessness that cannot be detected with routine tests.
Oxford researchers are seeking participants for a trial to discover what happens when people who have either already had Covid-19 or who have been vaccinated are exposed to the original strain of virus.
Researchers from Oxford\u2019s Department of Experimental Psychology and Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences have shown that people who have had Covid but don\u2019t complain of long Covid symptoms in daily life nevertheless can show degraded attention and memory for up to 6-9 months.
Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been dramatic reductions in hospital admissions for common and severe childhood infections in England, most likely due to social distancing measures, school and workplace closures, and travel restrictions, finds a study published by The BMJ today.
This pop-up space for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) supports evidence generation by pooling protocols, tools, guidance, templates, and research standards generated by researchers and networks working on the response to this outbreak. Findings from previous outbreaks, largely obtained during MERS and SARS outbreaks, are also available. We aim to make research faster and easier, and to enable standardised, quality data to be collected and prepared for sharing.
