Research news Going long: Viruses linger with lasting impact [cid:image033.jpg@01D96EF0.55216A80]Herpes, HIV, Epstein-Barr and other viruses hang around, causing potential long-term health woes. Should 'long COVID' surprise us? Millions of Americans infected by SARS-CoV-2, are now dealing with its post-acute sequelae, or PASC, mostly known as long COVID, the latest long-term condition to stem from a virus. "We're beginning to realize increasingly the long-term impacts of viruses, the infections that they cause and the damage that our immune system can wreak on us as a result of those infections," said Dr. Jim Boonyaratanakornkit, acting assistant professor (Allergy and Infectious Diseases). [cid:image034.jpg@01D96EF0.55216A80]According to Dr. Rachel Bender Ignacio, assistant professor (Allergy and Infectious Diseases) most clinicians divvy viruses into two camps: persistent and transient. Transient viruses, she said, are here and gone. Examples include influenza, cold viruses and hepatitis A. Persistent viruses hang around. "We have clear evidence in the research setting that people don't have a normal immune system after or during long COVID," she said. "We may not have an answer as to how to help them, but the time is long over that people should be dismissive of long COVID." [cid:image035.jpg@01D96EF0.55216A80]"These infections can set off a pathway toward autoimmunity and other complications. It depends on the illness and the severity of the illness on whether it lingers or there's ongoing issues," says Dr. Steven Pergam, associate professor (Allergy and Infectious Diseases). Some of it is related to our immunity and how we respond to organisms. And some of it is the pathogen itself.

"We think what we have defined is a new tumor-suppressive mechanism," said Hsieh, who studies bladder and prostate cancers and treats patients with these diseases. "We've also showed that (in preclinical models of bladder cancer) we can reinstall this emergency brake."

The Division of Medical Genetics was founded in 1957 by Dr. Arno Motulsky, and the Medical Genetics Clinic opened at University Hospital. Then one of the few genetic disease and counseling clinics in the country, it remains prominent today. This established UW at the time as one of only a few medical schools providing training in medical genetics, and as one of the first clinics in the country to provide family counseling for genetic diseases and to employ women in this profession.

You might've developed 'AFib' [cid:image027.jpg@01D979E9.D245C930]Atrial fibrillation, "AFib", is the most common heart arrhythmia in adults and is projected to affect 12 million U.S. residents by 2030. About 70% of people with atrial fibrillation are 65 to 85, a population demographic projected to grow over the next few decades. Dr. Nazem Akoum, professor (Cardiology) specializes in ablation. He maps the heart's atria to locate the likely origin of the arrhythmia. Then, navigating a catheter into the heart, he zaps tissue in 3mm increments using either heat or freezing cold, thereby rendering it unable to trigger or conduct the errant signals and restoring a path to conduct a normal signal. "It's not perfect but it's the most powerful tool we have, with about a 70% chance of suppressing somebody's AFib completely," he said. Read the full story from UW Medicine Newsroom.
