The percentage of U.S. kindergartners who’ve received standard childhood vaccines took a small but notable dip into the 2021-2022 school year, health officials said Thursday, amid disruptions related to Covid-19 and fears that anti-vaccine sentiment stirred up by the pandemic could be spreading to other shots. Vaccinations among children remain high, but the trend — with coverage dropping from about 95% in the 2019-2020 school year to 94% in 2020-2021 to 93% in 2021-2022, according

Since long Covid emerged, how best to define it, predict it, and treat it has been up for debate, but perhaps the most urgent question for patients and providers alike has been how long it lasts. A new study analyzing nearly 2 million patient records in Israel concludes that for most people, the troubling symptoms that persist after a mild Covid infection fade away after about a year.

Machine learning models used to guide the design of long-acting injectable drug formulations have been successfully tested by scientists at the University of Toronto. The research results signal the potential for machine to reduce reliance on trial-and-error testing, which slows the development of long-acting injectables (LAIs). The study was published Nature Communications and is one of the first to apply machine learning techniques to the design of polymeric long-acting injectable drug formula
