COVID-19 hospitalizations are twice as high as the flu High-risk group, continue to be cautious.
Moderna encourages vaccination of high-risk groups
“We need to confirm who is eligible for free additional vaccinations.”
Among the cumulative viral hospitalizations this year, COVID-19 patients accounted for the largest number at 34.7%. It is more than twice that of the flu (15.8%), showing that COVID-19 is more threatening than the flu.
According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency on the 17th, the COVID-19 fatality rate for people over 65 years old is 0.15%, which is about 40 times that for people under 65 years old. In fact, as a result of acute respiratory infection surveillance collected over an eight-week period starting from the first week of January this year, approximately 67% (4,037 people) of COVID-19 hospitalized patients were over 65 years of age. Even during the Omicron epidemic, which had a low severity and fatality rate, more than 90% of those who died were over 60 years old.
This shows the need for preventive vaccination as the COVID-19 disease burden among the elderly is higher than that of healthy age groups.
On the 15th, the government began recommending additional vaccinations for the updated COVID-19 vaccine (XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccine).
This additional vaccination is planned to help high-risk groups maintain sufficient immunity levels throughout the year.

Unlocking the Potential: Using Machine Learning to Identify New Antibiotic Targets and Combat Drug Resistance
Human history underwent a profound transformation with the discovery of antibiotics in 1928. Infectious diseases that once ravaged communities, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and sepsis, became treatable thanks to the advent of penicillin.
The advent of antibiotics revolutionized medical practice and saved countless lives. Even surgical procedures that had previously carried a high risk of infection became safer and more routine.
However, the use of antibiotics comes with a caveat – overusing these drugs can lead to bacterial resistance. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), superbugs caused an estimated 1.27 million deaths worldwide in 2019, highlighting the growing threat they pose to global public health.
To combat this issue, scientists are exploring new approaches. Recent studies have shown that approximately one-fourth of non-antibiotic drugs, typically used for cancer treatment or managing conditions like diabetes and depression, have an unexpected ability to kill bacteria at regular doses prescribed for patients.
This discovery holds immense potential for medicine as it allows researchers to decipher how certain non-antibiotic drugs are toxic to bacteria. Understanding these mechanisms could pave the way for developing novel antibiotics that target different bacterial vulnerabilities compared to traditional ones.

Understanding and Treating Facial Asymmetry: Expert Advice from Hidoc
Most people have ‘facial asymmetry’ where the left and right sides of the face are slightly different. In most cases, there is no major problem, but if the difference between the left and right side is severe, causes complications, or causes physical discomfort such as snoring or temporomandibular disorders, may require correction. We spoke to Hidoc experts to find out what causes facial asymmetry and how it can be treated.
Q. Why does facial asymmetry occur?
The causes of facial asymmetry can be divided into congenital and acquired factors. △ Cases where bones grow excessively or underdeveloped on one side due to genetic factors △ Failure of bones to form and grow in the fetus due to drug use, alcohol consumption, disease, etc. during pregnancy △ Abnormal nerve control and bone growth due to congenital diseases such as polio Growth, etc., are congenital factors. Among the factors found are △ chin rest position △ the habit of chewing food on one side △ differences in the development of muscles or bones on the left and right sides of the face due to trauma, etc. In rare cases, facial asymmetry can occur due to hemifacial dwarfism or Romberg’s disease.
