Payson Roundup With Students — and Covid-19 — on Campuses, College Towns Look on Warily Oct. 1, 2020 Joe Gerald, a researcher at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health who tracks the coronavirus in Arizona, said it is too early to detect spread from campus outbreaks in the state, but it may be that the overlap between students and locals is minimal enough to prevent that. Washington Post Children Can Contract COVID-19 Oct. 1, 2020 Dr. Lisa Grimaldi, an associate professor in the Division of Cardiovascular ICU at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix, said most children who have tested positive for COVID-19 do not have symptoms or have only a very mild disease.

North Central News Pain Relief Caused by SARS-CoV-2 Infection May Help Explain COVID-19 Spread Oct. 1, 2020 SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can relieve pain, according to a new study by University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers. The finding may explain why nearly half of people who get COVID-19 experience few or no symptoms, even though they are able to spread the disease, according to the study's senior author Rajesh Khanna, PhD, a professor in the College of Medicine -- Tucson's Department of Pharmacology. ScienceDaily Genetic Study Sheds New Light on Cerebral Palsy Cause Sept. 30, 2020 The causes of cerebral palsy have long been debated and often are attributed to in utero infections, premature birth, or brain injury to the baby near or during delivery, usually from a lack of oxygen. But many young children diagnosed with cerebral palsy have not experienced such events. New research, the largest genetic study of cerebral palsy, supports previous findings and provides "the strongest evidence to date that a significant portion of cerebral palsy cases can be linked to rare genetic mutations, and in doing so identified several key genetic pathways involved," said co-senior author Dr. Michael Kruer, a neurogeneticist at Phoenix Children's Hospital and the University of Arizona College of Medicine.
