“Antibody-dependent enhancement, or ADE, is a phenomenon that occurs when low quality, low quantity, non-neutralizing antibodies bind to virus particles and, rather than neutralizing the virus, increase inflammation and tissue injury.”
Clip
“A perplexing aspect of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, is that people respond to it in disparate ways — some exhibiting no symptoms at all, and others experiencing life-threatening complications.”
Clip
“COVID-19 can lead to death in many ways, for example, by causing pneumonia, respiratory failure, or stroke. Physicians fill out death certificates under strict guidelines, and COVID-19 should not be listed as the cause of death, even if it sets the process in motion.”
Clip
“Detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection pre-symptomatically When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Dr. Snyder's laboratory began investigating whether heart rate data might be able to inform SARS-CoV-2 infected people before symptoms arose, allowing them to get tested and self-quarantine.”
Episode
“1 02:37:05 - Mothers that chew xylitol gum starting mid-pregnancy and continuing until 6-12 months after birth lowered the oral streptococcus mutan bacteria, which is an anaerobic bacteria that plays a significant role in tooth decay, in their toddlers/children.”
“Traditional vaccines take many years to develop. A recent innovation in vaccine technology involves exploitation of messenger RNA, or mRNA, to facilitate rapid scaling of vaccines and expedite their modification if the virus mutates significantly.”
“In the setting of COVID-19, vitamin D deficiency drives poor outcomes. Treating patients with calcifediol, a prescription vitamin D analog, might be more effective at increasing vitamin D to therapeutic levels.”
“Airplanes are closed, cramped spaces that seem ideal for COVID-19 transmission. Even so, surprisingly few COVID-19 infections have been reported from air travel, likely due to measures like refreshing and recirculating cabin air through specialized filters.”
“How well do the vaccines protect against the delta variant? How should VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) data be interpreted? This Aliquot features Dr. Roger Seheult, a physician working on the frontlines of COVID-19 critical care.”
“While infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus shares symptoms with the common cold and influenza such as sore throat, cough, and runny nose, there are critical differences in the severity and duration of COVID-19 illness.”
