Neurotropic viruses are a major public health concern as they can cause encephalitis and other severe brain diseases. Many of these viruses, including flaviviruses, herpesviruses, rhabdoviruses and alphaviruses enter the brain through the olfactory neuroepithelium (ONE) in the olfactory bulbs (OB). Due to the low percentage of encephalitis that occurs following these infections, it's thought that the OBs have specialized innate immune responses to eliminate viruses.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) as the two major diseases are being focused by the public in modern societies. Previous epidemiological studies have shown increase in TMD prevalence during COVID-19 pandemic era. This study was aimed to verify the causal association between two sides using bidirectional mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Autoreactive antibodies (AAB) are currently being investigated as causative or aggravating factors during post-COVID. In this study we analyze the effect of immunoadsorption therapy on symptom improvement and the relationship with immunological parameters in post-COVID patients exhibiting symptoms of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) induced or aggravated by an SARS-CoV-2 infection. This observational study includes 12 post-COVID patients exhibiting a predominance of ME/CFS symptoms alongside increased concentrations of autonomic nervous system receptors (ANSR) autoantibodies and neurological impairments.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for pathogen detection methods that offer both low detection limits and rapid results. Despite advancements in simplifying and enhancing nucleic acid amplification techniques, immunochemical methods remain the preferred methods for mass testing. These methods eliminate the need for specialized laboratories and highly skilled personnel, making home testing feasible.
