The 15 minutes after getting a Covid shot can be a time of profound emotion, a moment of relief or gratitude or release as you wait to make sure you don’t have a bad reaction to the vaccine. So we were curious: If you got vaccinated in a pharmacy, did you wander the aisles while…
Las vacunas fabricadas por Pfizer-BioNTech y Moderna generan una reacción inmunitaria persistente en el organismo que puede proteger contra el coronavirus durante años, informó el lunes un grupo de científicos.

A 7- to 15-year longitudinal study of 358 diabetics has linked 3 proteins in blood with a slower progression of diabetic kidney disease and progressive kidney failure. The results from Zaipul Md Dom and colleagues suggest that the proteins could help researchers identify diabetics most at risk of kidney damage, potentially enabling earlier interventions and…
