UF Study: Post-COVID Mortality Risk May Be Caused by Effects of High Inflammation During Illness
A University of Florida study sheds new light on the reason people who recover from a bout of severe COVID-19 are still at increased risk for death in the year after their recovery. The culprit may be high levels of inflammation during the initial illness.
The Livestock–Childhood Gut Health Link
Environmental enteric dysfunction, also called EED, is characterized by a chronic inflammation of the gut. It is a silent health problem in middle to low-income countries—and pathogens affecting the intestines are thought to play a role in its development. That said, UF students and researchers address the links between intestinal pathogens, livestock, and children’s gut health.
