The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that has yet to be certified by peer review.Pandemic stresses have been linked with disruptions in ovulation for many women without obvious changes to menstrual cycles, according to a new study.

"By comparing the two studies, and especially their daily diaries, we can infer that the SARS-CoV2 pandemic life disruptions cause silent ovulatory disturbances within mostly regular menstrual cycles," study leader Dr Jerilynn Prior of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver said in a statement. Over time, persistent ovulatory disturbances can increase women's risks for infertility, bone loss, early heart attacks, and breast and endometrial cancers, the researchers said.

"Measuring T cell activation is critical to assess the full extent of a person's immunity," said coauthor Ernesto Guccione of The Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai in a statement. Coronavirus variants like Omicron evade most of the neutralizing ability of antibodies, but T cells are still able to recognise the virus despite the mutations, he noted, making it even more important to have tests that can measure T cells.
