Paxlovid, un curso de 5 días de píldoras antivirales de Pfizer, puede reducir el riesgo de hospitalización en pacientes con COVID-19 quienes son más probabilidades a desarrollar una enfermedad grave. NPR informa que los investigadores de la Administración de Salud de Veteranos descubrieron que tomar el medicamento también puede reducir los riesgos de desarrollar COVID prolongado más adelante. El medicamento ha estado disponible en los EE. UU. durante casi un año. El gobierno federal lo proporciona de forma gratuita en las farmacias de todo el país. Requiere receta médica y los pacientes con COVID-19 deben comenzar a tomarlo dentro de los cinco días posteriores al inicio de los síntomas.

  • Animals in south Florida don’t have to worry much about winter cold – and indeed many migrants from areas farther north find suitable living conditions here. But, a trip to the beach or on a rare blustery day sometimes makes one wonder. How do ducks, herons, egrets, and other birds tolerate wading or swimming in cold weather? Aquatic birds, for example, have bare skinny legs with leg muscles placed among insulating feathers.Blood vessels going to and from the very few muscles in the legs and feet lie right next to one another, and cold blood going back into the body is warmed by warmer blood coming from the body – and is nearly the same temperature as the blood circulating in the well-insulated body.
