Inflammation Caused by COVID-19, Rather Than the Virus Itself, May Lead To Loss of Smell

Anosmia, the loss of the sense of smell which is a common symptom of COVID-19, may be a secondary consequence of immune system inflammation rather than a direct action of the virus.

How Fingers Could Point To a Link Between Low Testosterone and COVID Hospitalizations

Low testosterone and high estrogen in men are linked to an increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection. Researchers report smaller ring finger length in men, a sign of lower testosterone, was a predictor of severe COVID infection and an increased risk of hospitalization after contracting the virus.

A Common Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s Disease May Predispose Carriers to Severe COVID-19

Carriers of the Alzheimer's associated APOE4 gene have more than double the risk of developing severe COVID-19, a new study reports. Additionally, more microscopic hemorrhages were found in the brains of APOE4 carriers who contracted coronavirus. Researchers report those with the APOE4 gene also are more susceptible to developing long-term symptoms following COVID infection, including an increased risk of mental fatigue.
