TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the severity of the delta variant compared with the alpha variant by determining the relative risk of hospital attendance outcomes and found that outbreaks of the Delta variant in unvaccinated populations might lead to a greater burden on health-care services than the alpha variants.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between the mass roll-out of the first doses of these COVID-19 vaccines and hospital admissions for CoV-19 and found that the first dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was associated with a vaccine effect of 91% (95% CI 85-94) for reduced COVID19 hospital admission at 28-34 days post-vaccination.

TL;DR: It is found that a mutation in the seed region of miR-184 (MIR184) is responsible for familial severe keratoconus combined with early-onset anterior polar cataract by deep sequencing of a linkage region known to contain the mutation.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate substantial evasion of neutralization by Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants in vitro using sera from individuals vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273.529.

TL;DR: This study has identified a biologically plausible genetic variant associated specifically with AAA, and it is suggested that this variant has a possible functional role in LRP1 expression.
