Rebate walls are exclusionary contracting practices that a drug manufacturer deploys to limit the ability of rivals from gaining preferred access to the formulary, or any access at all. As such, they limit the uptake of biosimilars, (specialty) generic…
The new variants are more transmissible, immune-evasive, and in some cases more deadly than their predecessors. If we want to keep schools safe, reopening policies will have to be recalculated accordingly.
Earlier this month, I detailed one of such variants beginning to circulate in Southern California (B.1.427/429). In the weeks since, the virus has predictably grown in prevalence.
The study by researchers at Texas A&M University School of Public health surveyed over 5,000 U. S. adults to learn more about their behaviors during the Covid-19 pandemic.
After months of battling SARS-CoV-2, the government is asking students to test themselves twice a week before they can attend class.
Should patients hospitalized for Covid-19 be treated with anticoagulants as early as possible, or should treatment be delayed until clinical signs indicate that hyper-coagulation is likely?
After a period of decline, we are now seeing a rise in Covid-19 cases globally and in the U.S. A disturbing trend likely due to the spread of new variants that should caution us against the complacency that some governors are showing by rolling back st…
Analyzing the genetic makeup of another one of these shifty variants identified in New York (B.1.526).
Variants confer new and dangerous properties including increased transmission, the ability to evade the immune response elicited from previous infection or vaccination, and increased virulence and infection, especially in children. It is in this contex…
According to a recent preprint study, the one-two punch of prior infection and at least one dose of a Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine can generate a powerful immune response that neutralizes both the original Wuhan strain and the B.1.351 variant.
