Researchers, led by Alexa Tompary, PhD, an assistant professor in Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences, are examining the parts of the brain they believe are responsible for the distortions in memory and if these distortions can be reduced.
Some researchers are concerned that some negative views towards COVID-19 vaccines could extend beyond COVID-19 into other beneficial vaccines. In a recently published study in the journal Vaccine, a team of researchers from seven universities, including Drexel University, conducted a nationwide survey to measure whether the COVID-19 pandemic had such an effect on views about Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination.
Now a new study from researchers at Drexel University’s College of Medicine, and additional colleagues from the NationalInstitute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)-funded national “IMmunoPhenotyping Assessment in a COVID-19 Cohort” (IMPACC), gives clinical providers insights to help patients anticipate what they may or may not experience down the road with the disease. It also gives providers more confidence when they set out a care plan for hospitalized patients aimed to help prevent long COVID, such as determining which patients need antivirals early after disease onset.

t’s no secret that growing older can be taxing on the body, and this is no less true during perimenopause, which occurs just before menopause, characterized by a significant drop in mature eggs in the ovaries, irregular ovulation, and plummeting levels of estrogen and the hormone progesterone. This drop in estrogen may play a role in hearing loss and help explain gender differences in hearing loss, according to data recently published by researchers at Drexel’s College of Medicine in the American Journal of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Medicine and Surgery.
