As Americans began to stir in the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day 2021, a rapt international press corps was listening as a pony-tailed scientist in South Africa announced the identification of a worrisome new SARS-CoV-2 variant. Tulio de Oliveira, a Brazilian-born bioinformatician, explained that many of the variant’s dozens of mutations might make it more immune evasive and contagious—and that it was spreading “very fast” in South Africa.

Exploration of the Potential Link, Hub Genes, and Potential Drugs for Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Lung Cancer Based on Bioinformatics Analysis
J Oncol. 2022 Sep 26;2022:8124673. doi: 10.1155/2022/8124673. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThe ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a huge influence on global public health and the economy. Lung cancer is one of the high-risk factors of COVID-19, but the molecular mechanism of lung cancer and COVID-19 is still unclear, and further research is needed. Therefore, we used the transcriptome information of the public database and adopted bioinformatics methods to identify the common pathways and molecular biomarkers of lung cancer and COVID-19 to further understand the connection between them. The two RNA-seq...

BioAutoML: automated feature engineering and metalearning to predict noncoding RNAs in bacteria
Brief Bioinform. 2022 Jun 27:bbac218. doi: 10.1093/bib/bbac218. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent technological advances have led to an exponential expansion of biological sequence data and extraction of meaningful information through Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. This knowledge has improved the understanding of mechanisms related to several fatal diseases, e.g. Cancer and coronavirus disease 2019, helping to develop innovative solutions, such as CRISPR-based gene editing, coronavirus vaccine and precision medicine. These advances benefit our society and economy, directly impacting people's lives in various areas, s...

WEENet: An Intelligent System for Diagnosing COVID-19 and Lung Cancer in IoMT Environments
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a major outbreak around the world with severe impact on health, human lives, and economy globally. One of the crucial steps in fighting COVID-19 is the ability to detect infected patients at early stages and put them under special care. Detecting COVID-19 from radiography images using computational medical imaging method is one of the fastest ways to diagnose the patients. However, early detection with significant results is a major challenge, given the limited available medical imaging data and conflicting performance metrics. Therefore, this work aims to develop...

The Pandemic Caused the Biggest Decline in U.S. Life Expectancy since World War 2. Black and Hispanic Americans Have Suffered the Most
Although James Toussaint has never had COVID-19, the pandemic is taking a profound toll on his health.
First, the 57-year-old lost his job delivering parts for a New Orleans auto dealership in spring 2020, when the local economy shut down. Then, he fell behind on his rent. Last month, Toussaint was forced out of his apartment when his landlord—who refused to accept federally funded rental assistance—found a loophole in the federal ban on evictions.
Toussaint has recently had trouble controlling his blood pressure. Arthritis in his back and knees prevents him from lifting more than 20 pounds, a huge obstacle for...

You May Be Surprised by the Type of American Who is Postponing Basic Health Care During the Pandemic
There’s more than one way to get sick during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can contract the virus, of course, as more than 28 million Americans already have. Or you can dodge the disease but still suffer from the disruption caused by quarantines and social distancing, if they lead you to neglect routine health care. That, a new TIME-Harris Poll survey shows, is just what too many of us are doing.

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 397: COVID-19 and Its Impact on Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancer Management
urum Khan
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, has left dramatic footprints on human health and economy. Cancer, whilst not an infective disease, is prevalent in epidemic proportions and cannot be pretermitted due to the impact of COVID-19. As we emanate from the second national lockdown in the UK with mixed feelings of hope and despair—due to vaccination and new COVID-19 variant, respectively—we reflect on the impact of the first wave on the provision on diagnosis and management of with upper gastrointe...

The White House Wants to Achieve Herd Immunity By Letting the Virus Rip. That is Dangerous and Inhumane
On October 13 the White House confirmed that it is embracing what the Los Angeles Times editorial board calls the “let people die” strategy in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The strategy involves deliberately letting the novel coronavirus rip through the population while attempting to shield the most vulnerable, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.
This approach, roundly rejected and discredited by scientists worldwide, is at the heart of a controversial new statement, titled the Great Barrington Declaration, written by three academics with views far outside the scientific main...

Donald Trump Is Losing On An Issue Voters Care A Lot About. Here ’s How He’s Trying to Change That
With nearly 200,000 Americans dead from COVID-19 and millions more who lost their health insurance when they lost their jobs this year, President Donald Trump tried this week—as he has done throughout his presidency—to change the conversation.
On Sunday, the President issued a new executive order aimed at lowering prescription drug prices, an issue dear to many voters, and boasted on Twitter that “prices are coming down FAST.”
The reality is more complicated. Trump’s new executive order, which revokes and replaces a different executive order on drug prices that he signed in July, directs the...
