Greater muscle strength associated with lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalization The sheer range of outcomes following infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is astounding. The reason for this extreme diversity in clinical manifestations is not clear. However, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes, among other comorbidities, have been associated with a higher risk for severe disease. A new preprint research paper posted to the medRxiv server discusses the results of a study exploring the relationship between increased muscle strength and hospitalization for severe COVID-19. Muscle strength is a marker of muscle function, a crucial component of health. As such, it is a strong predictor of many morbid conditions as well as of death from any cause. This led the investigators in the current study to postulate that they would find muscle strength to be independently and ne ....
Local school districts prepping for teachers to receive COVID vaccine Educators in the Shoals are ready for their COVID vaccine By DeAndria Turner | February 3, 2021 at 6:46 PM CST - Updated February 3 at 6:47 PM MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. (WAFF) - School systems across north Alabama are working to facilitate vaccines for educators. Teachers have been moved to phase 1b of getting the COVID-19 vaccine which means they can start receiving the shot as soon as next week “We’re ready to go as soon as we get the call,” said Muscle Shoals City Schools’ Lead Nurse, Kelley Word. The Muscle Shoals City School System sent out a survey to its teachers to see who wants the vaccine. ....
Muscle wasting, or the loss of muscle tissue, is a common problem for people with cancer, but the precise mechanisms have long eluded doctors and scientists. Now, a new study led by Penn State researchers gives new clues to how muscle wasting happens on a cellular level. ....
Scientists unravel the workings of a mysterious protein implicated in movement disorders Scientists at Scripps Research have clarified the workings of a mysterious protein called Gαo, which is one of the most abundant proteins in the brain and, when mutated, causes severe movement disorders. The findings, which appear in Cell Reports, are an advance in the basic understanding of how the brain controls muscles and could lead to treatments for children born with Gαo-mutation movement disorders. Such conditions known as GNAO1-related neurodevelopmental disorders were discovered only in the past decade, and are thought to affect at least hundreds of children around the world. Children with the disease suffer from severe developmental delays, seizures and uncontrolled muscle movements. ....
