Children with history of maltreatment could undergo an early maturation of the immune system Acute psychosocial stress states stimulate the secretion of an antibody type protein that is decisive in the first immune defense against infection, but only after puberty. However, children with a history of maltreatment present a similar response to that of adolescents, which suggests there is an early maturation of the immune system in these cases. This is one of the main conclusions of an international study coordinated by Professor Lourdes Fañanás, from the Faculty of Biology and the Institute of Biomedicine of the University of Barcelona (IBUB), with participation of the groups from the Mental Health Networking Biomedical Center (CIBERSAM).
New knowledge about airborne virus particles could help hospitals The risk of being exposed to COVID-19 particles increases with shorter physical distance to a patient, higher patient viral load and poor ventilation.

Researchers hope current international guidelines in health care will be changed.
