The initial few weeks following childbirth are physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing. Perinatal depression can occur as early as before conception or as late as approximately one-year post-delivery. Although women with pre-existing mental disorders are at an increased risk of relapse during the perinatal period, these disorders may also arise for the first time in women with no prior history of the condition. In fact, mental disorders, which are associated with poor maternal and child outcomes, are considered a major complication that women endure during the perinatal period and affect nearly one in five pregnant women. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on perinatal mental health During the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant women were especially vulnerable to the psychological effects of lockdowns and other restrictions that were put in place to reduce the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Women in sub-Saharan Africa continue to have an elevated risk of death following childbirth long after the 42-day postpartum limit the WHO uses to define pregnancy-related deaths, a new analysis shows. Researchers analyzed data from 12 sub-Saharan African countries to examine whether the 42-day definition accurately captures deaths following childbirth. The analysis found that while the risk of death fell substantially throughout the 42-day postpartum period (relative to a comparison period of 12-17 months postpartum) the risk of death was still estimated to be 20% higher from 42 days to four months following childbirth. This has major policy implications for the improvement of maternal health in sub-Saharan Africa and other low- and middle-income countries. The team included researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), the Medical Research Council Unit The Gambia at LSHTM and the Kenya Medical Research Institute-Center for Global Health Research. The...

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers performed a cross-sectional study to evaluate the outlook of healthcare workers (HCWs) of France and Belgium towards Monkeypox virus (MPXV) vaccination. After two years of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, studies have not determined attitudes toward vaccination against a newly emerging pathogen, particularly in France, where the government mandated high vaccine coverage for HCWs. Nevertheless, it is certain that vaccine hesitancy affects HCWs and impacts their vaccination status. Europe is the epicenter of the recent MPXV outbreak, with thousands of cases reported by August 2022. Reports have also pointed at cases among HCWs with no identified occupational exposure. Considering the high risk to HCWs, especially the staff working in high consequence infectious diseases units, Monkeypox patients-dedicated units, and outpatients sexual health clinics, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended t...

The findings of a new study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server showed that the intranasal SpyCage vaccine platform can be protective against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and may prove to be a versatile and adaptable modality for the formulation of intranasal vaccines that target respiratory pathogens. The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, which transpired into the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, could be partly controlled by widespread vaccinations. COVID-19 vaccines prevent both disease and infection transmission. The last few years have seen an avalanche of rapid vaccine developments that have proven highly effective. Until now, most approved SARS-CoV-2 vaccines require intramuscular (IM) administration. IM vaccines induce high levels of circulating antibodies, memory B cells, and effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. However, evidence confirming the induction of mucosal immunity in the respiratory tract by these vaccines remains lacking. In...

In a recent study published in the journal PLoS ONE, researchers evaluated the effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the sleep quality and mental health (MH) of university-attending undergraduate students. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has posed unique social, academic, health-associated, and financial challenges for young adults. In addition, several studies have reported increased MH issues mid-pandemic in the general public; however, data on the magnitude of intra-individual sleep difficulties and MH issues are lacking. The study's authors previously examined the impact of sleeping patterns on the MH of 78 young individuals enrolled in an elementary course in biology self-at New York's Colgate University between October and November 2020. The study findings showed that the self-documented scores for anxiety, sleep perturbations, and depression did not show significant differences among the participants. About the stu...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely impacted the lives of millions of people throughout the world. To date, COVID-19 has claimed the lives of over 6.4 million globally. Many have suggested that people with chronic urinary disorders are more susceptible to severe COVID-19. Furthermore, men with comorbidities like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction (ED), and infertility are also considered to be more vulnerable to COVID-19. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) uses its spike (S) protein to bind to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor located on the surface of host cells. The priming of the S protein is carried out by transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), which divides the S protein at the S1/S2 site. The expression of ACE2 in testicular tissues can increase their risk of being targeted by SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, the association of androgen receptor signaling with COVID-1...

A new study finds that sexual side effects of cancer treatment are discussed far less frequently with female patients than with male patients, even when the treatment directly affects sex organs. Among patients receiving brachytherapy for prostate or cervical cancer at a high-volume cancer center, 9 in 10 men were asked about their sexual health, compared to 1 in 10 women. The study, which also found a smaller but similar disparity in clinical trials nationwide, will be presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting. Findings point to an opportunity for physicians to gain a better understanding of their patients' experiences with cancer treatment. Each year, roughly 13,000 news cases of cervical cancer and more than 220,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. Both diseases respond well to radiation therapy and other treatments, and an estimated 96% of patients with prostate cancer and 67% with cervical cancer survive at least fi...
