Blood clots occur when blood flow is slowed or stopped. Flying on an airplane can increase your risk for blood clots, and you may need to avoid air travel for a period of time following the diagnosis of a clot. Sitting still for extended periods of time can affect blood circulation and l...

There is also no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, influence your chances of getting pregnant despite a myth suggesting otherwise. Medical experts say there’s no biological reason the shots would affect fertility. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and ob...
There are other STIs you will want to check for if you've been accidentally exposed during sex. But you would need to wait before getting tested because STIs have awindow periodduring which the virus or bacteria is not detectable. Many of these tests detect immune proteins, calledantibodies,...
Treatment of bacterial pneumonia should be based on culture and sensitivity results but first-line options include: fluoroquinolones, trimethoprim-sulfa, and chloramphenicol.27,28The efficacy of canine, porcine, human, and autologousBordetellavaccines have been evaluated and results suggest that although no...

The immune status of people with HIV is measured by a blood test called theCD4 count. "Normal" values are typically defined as being 500 cells/mL or above, while those below 200 are classified asAIDS. In the past, the CD4 count (and other values such as theCD4/CD8 ratio) factored gre...

Unlike most chemically-derived small-molecule drugs, biological products are generally derived from a living organism, such as humans, animals, microorganisms or yeast. Clinically, they are used ...
but not the U.S. The Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines, which are composed of fragments of mRNA that are taken up by immune cells, which transcribe the mRNA into spike proteins, the same ones that are found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, which leads to immune recogn...
