An analysis of data from nearly 154 000 US veterans with SARS-CoV-2 infection provides a grim preliminary answer to the question: What are COVID-19’s long-term cardiovascular outcomes?

Aviation emissions impact both air quality and climate. Using a coupled tropospheric chemistry-aerosol microphysics model we investigate the effects of varying aviation fuel sulfur content (FSC) on premature mortality from long-term exposure to aviation-sourced PM2.5 (particulate matter with a dry diameter of  

This study aims to quantitate Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) and Aβ amyloid plaques throughout the limbic system in brains from individuals diagnosed with late-onset dementia/Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-demented conditions.
