Social Security Basics: What You Need To Know In 2021 - Forbes

Image
For many people reading this, Social Security is your largest retirement asset. For decades you have likely seen payroll taxes debited from each paycheck. Here are a few things everyone should know about Social Security benefits. Marital Status Could Impact Your Benefits    Those who are married should coordinate with your spouse as to when you will both begin claiming Social Security benefits. The choices you make today could affect your combined retirement incomes, the taxes you may on Social Security benefits, or what income will be left when one spouse dies. While the surviving spouse can keep the higher of the two Social Security benefits, the smaller check will go away. For those on fixed incomes, this can be a devastating financial blow. So, making smart choices now with the higher earner's benefits and claiming strategies can be a lifesaver for the surviving spouse down the road. While we are on the topic of marital status, divorce and re

The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by a novel respiratory virus known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). SARS-CoV-2 is a positive sense, single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus that has claimed more than 4.4 million lives worldwide as of August 19, 2021. In the past, the influenza virus, which is another type of respiratory virus, was associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. In fact, annual influenza epidemics typically cause between 3 and 5 million severe cases each year and between 250,000 and 500,000 deaths. Previous reports indicated that the innate immune system is the first line of defense against harmful pathogens. This type of immune response involves pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The influenza virus is recognized by the PRR, which plays an important role in the inhibition of viral replication at the initial phase of the

Novel Approach against Severe Sepsis - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Image
Bacterial sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to an infection injures its tissues and organs. Sepsis is caused by conditions that threaten the functional integrity of the host such as microbial invasion. Among the most common causes of such a sepsis are methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (MRSA) that have developed resistance to many common antibiotics. Now, a team of researchers report they have devised a new strategy against sepsis. Their findings are published in the journal Communications Biology in a paper titled, "Acetate sensing by GPR43 alarms neutrophils and protects from severe sepsis." The study is a collaboration of scientists from the Cluster of Excellence "Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections" (CMFI), the Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection Medicine Tübingen (IMIT) at the University of Tübingen, and the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF).
