You've probably heard of Omicron, but what about Nimbus and Stratus? These are the latest COVID strains spreading around the world, and for most people they'll amount to a heavy cold at worst, lasting just a few days. Or will they? Are these coronaviruses doing more to our immune systems than meets the eye? Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

From the earliest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, people living with MS have been justifiably concerned about how a COVID-19 infection might impact their MS. As the new "Stratus" strain of COVID-19 is currently surging in the United States, research is providing answers we didn't have five years ago. Dr. Robert Fox, the Managing Director of the NARCOMS Patient Registry, joins me to discuss how COVID-19 infections and other infections impact people with MS. As ECTRIMS, the world's largest MS research conference, approached, many attendees anticipated the FDA's decision on whether to approve Tolebrutinib, the first in a new category of disease-modifying therapies. Instead, the FDA has requested additional time for its review. We'll fill you in on the FDA's new target action date, and explain why there's strong interest in this particular disease-modifying therapy. We know there's a specific gene that increases the risk of someone developing MS. But have you ever wondered where that gene came from, or why it exists at all? At ECTRIMS, Professor Lars Fugger took us on a journey 5,000 years into the past to explain its origin. When I spoke with him, Professor Fugger also explained how events from ancient history are still affecting the risk of developing MS today. You won't want to miss this compelling conversation! At ECTRIMS, I also caught up with Jason Tardio, the President, and Dr. Andreas Muehler, the Chief Medical Officer, from Immunic Therapeutics. We talked about how their investigative drug, vidofludimus calcium, could potentially benefit people with MS by combating inflammation, protecting the nervous system, and offering antiviral benefits. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Nuages se déroule entre ciel et terre. Des êtres imaginaires et des animaux guident nos pas dans un ciel en mouvement. A chaque étage ses particularités: Cumulus, Stratus et Cirrus nous proposent de naviguer dans des densités, des couleurs et des musicalités qui leur sont propres, l'air tantôt chaud tantôt froid, nous propulse à des hauteurs variables pour nous faire découvrir des nuages-poèmes, amas de gouttelettes aux phrasés flottants. Les états d'âmes sont comme un ciel changeant. Personne ne vit sous un ciel uniforme ni totalement gris ou bleu, cela nous rappelle l'impermanence.

Alles zur aktuellen Corona-Variante "Stratus" erklärt Arzt und Journalist Lothar Zimmermann im Interview mit SWR Aktuell-Moderator Andreas Böhnisch.

Stratus, die neueste Variante von Covid-19, zwingt derzeit viele TirolerInnen ins Bett. Doch auch grippale Infekte setzen dem Immunsystem zu. Corona ist keine Epidemie mehr und auch nicht meldepflichtig, wie Theresa Geley, Tirols Gesundheitsdirektorin, in „Tirol Live“ erklärt.

Deux nouveaux variants du Covid-19, identifiés comme XFG (surnommé Stratus) et NB.1.8.1 (dit Nimbus), circulent actuellement au Royaume-Uni et suscitent l'attention des autorités sanitaires internationales. La question se pose désormais : représentent-ils une menace pour Maurice ? Le Dr Fazil Koddabaccus, Acting Director of Health Services, indique que les autorités mauriciennes maintiennent une surveillance active des variants Nimbus et Stratus. Le séquençage régulier effectué toutes les deux à trois semaines n'a pour l'instant détecté aucun de ces variants à Maurice, mais la vigilance reste de mise. Concernant les infections respiratoires aiguës, une légère baisse a été observée la semaine dernière. Entre le 22 et le 28 septembre, 5 433 cas ont été recensés, contre 5 693 la semaine précédente.

S podzimem je v Česku další vlna covidu-19. Podle dat na webu ministerstva zdravotnictví týdně přibývají nižší tisíce nakažených. Jen za úterý to je 1065, což jsou nicméně pouze evidované případy, nejsou do toho započítáni lidé, kteří se testují sami a onemocnění nikde nenahlásí. Podle Státního zdravotního ústavu tvoří mezi vzorky od nemocných s infekcemi dýchacích cest skoro polovinu právě SARS-COV-2, který covid-19 způsobuje. Jak ve Výtahu Respektu vysvětluje Martin Uhlíř, ve většině případů jde o novou variantu Stratus: „Je to varianta Omikronu a šíří se rychleji než jeho předchozí mutace. Společně s variantou Nimbus se šíří v mnoha státech včetně Česka. Například ve Spojených státech byla silná letní vlna, která teprve začíná odeznívat. Stratus je směs genetického materiálu ze dvou jiných variant Omikronu, má několik dalších mutací na spike proteinu, který umožňuje vstup do buňky, přičemž toto všechno z něj dělá nakažlivější variantu, která snáze obchází imunitu lidí, kteří už covid-19 v minulosti měli nebo byli očkování proti jiným variantám." Očkuje se i proti těm novým? Komu a kdy se vakcína doporučuje? A jaké jsou příznaky nové varianty?

The Texas Senate on Tuesday gave initial approval to a much-anticipated bill aiming to tamp down on the mailing of abortion pills into the state. The bill, if signed into law, would create a new pathway for enforcing Texas' strict abortion ban. It would allow regular citizens to file civil lawsuits against anyone who distributes abortion pills within Texas or anyone who mails abortion pills to Texas. In other news, Texas' business-friendly climate has helped make it the “headquarters of headquarters.” With Dallas becoming what Christopher Kleinert, chief executive officer of Hunt Realty Investments, recently called an “epicenter for financial activity,” many Fortune 500 companies are planting down roots in the region, or adding to their Texas operations; the sale of lab-grown meat has been banned in Texas for two years as part of Senate Bill 261. The law states that “a person may not manufacture, process, possess, distribute, offer for sale, or sell cell-cultured protein.” Although its production and use were not widespread in the state, some believe its ban violates people's constitutional rights, impacting what consumers can and can't purchase; and cases of COVID-19 are spiking in Texas as a new variant spreads across much of the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID variant XFG, nicknamed Stratus, accounts for three-fourths of COVID cases in the U.S. Learn more about your ad choices.

Drawing upon her formal training in composition and sound engineering from Berklee College of Music, she initially explored vocal performance, classical guitar and piano before her creative trajectory shifted when a neighbour lent her a Buchla 100 modular synthesizer. Her music combines the use of modular, analogue and rare synthesizers, orchestral textures and voice.Her early self-released works, including Cows Will Eat the Weeds and Tides: Music for Meditation and Yoga (2014), were followed by Euclid (2015), her first official album with Western Vinyl, which combined structured songwriting with ambient exploration. This was succeeded by EARS (2016), which critics praised for its seamless layering of organic instrumentation and analogue synthesis to evoke feelings of awe and disorientation. Her 2017 release, The Kid, marked a conceptual leap, tracing stages of human development through richly textured, emotionally resonant compositions that bolstered her status among experimental music audiences.Kaitlyn has performed alongside artists like Hot Chip, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou and Four Tet, composed original works for Apple, BBC Orchestra, Adult Swim, MoMA, Red Bull and others, plus her song “Stratus” was also synced in the 2023 film Priscilla Motion Picture Soundtrack. She has also collaborated with longtime inspiration Suzanne Ciani and other artists like Emile Mosseri, while exploring multidisciplinary projects through her label, Touchtheplants. On her latest album, GUSH, Kaitlyn sets her sights on aesthetics, focusing on the heightened awareness of and presence in the world where every interaction, whether with people, objects or nature, has the potential to become a moment of connection and personification.https://kaitlynaureliasmith.com/https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://www.facebook.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://x.com/kaitlynaureliaWilliam J. Stokes BiogWilliam J. Stokes is a producer, writer and artist in three-piece avant-psych band Voka Gentle. As well as being a critic and columnist for Sound On Sound, conceiving the popular Talkback column and heading up the Modular column, he has also written on music and music technology for The Guardian, MOJO, The Financial Times, Electronic Sound and more. As an artist in Voka Gentle he has made records with producers from Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Grizzly Bear, Nick Cave) to Sam Petts-Davies (Radiohead, The Smile, Roger Waters), has had songs featured on franchises from FIFA Football to The Sims and has toured across the UK, Europe and the USA, playing festivals from Pitchfork Avant-Garde in Paris to SXSW in Austin, Texas. He has collaborated with artists including the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, Morcheeba, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom. Alongside being a guitarist and pianist, he is a synthesis enthusiast with a particular interest in sampling and explorative sound manipulation. As a producer and engineer, he has made albums with acclaimed avant-garde musicians from composer Tullis Rennie to Mute Records artist Louis Carnell. “I'm always seeking out the most ‘out-there', experimental, risk-taking musicians I can find to work with,” he says, “to capture vibrant, detailed recordings and create three-dimensional mixes of music that might otherwise struggle to know where to begin in the studio environment.” Stokes currently lectures in Music Production at City, University of London.https://www.vokagentle.com/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

Max talks with Tom Turner, Executive Director of the American Bonanza Society's Air Safety Foundation, about an extraordinary initiative to preserve the operational future of the iconic V-tail Bonanza aircraft. When Textron Aviation quietly stopped producing the magnesium ruddervator skins—a unique flight control surface used only on V-tail Bonanzas—it left over 5,000 aircraft potentially grounded due to a lack of repair parts. Even minor damage could make these aircraft unrepairable. To solve this crisis, the ABS Air Safety Foundation awarded the $500,000 Maciel Ruddervator Prize to SRS Aviation of Minnesota. Tom explains the history and challenges behind the ruddervator issue: the original parts were made from a now-obsolete thickness of magnesium, which is no longer commonly produced. Even worse, the chemical process used to harden the magnesium is so caustic and environmentally hazardous that almost no facility could perform it anymore. SRS Aviation, already experienced in building replacement aluminum control surfaces, initially declined to compete. But after realizing no one else was pursuing a solution, they took on the challenge, developing their own safe and FAA-acceptable hardening process. They eventually met the prize's requirements, which included certifying replacement skins for all three ruddervator design variants and producing at least 100 completed kits to prove production viability. Tom also discusses the origin of the prize money: a generous bequest from Manny Maciel, a quiet aircraft fueler in Santa Rosa, California, who left $5 million to aviation safety research. The ABS Air Safety Foundation received $1 million of this funding, which it used to underwrite the prize. Tom emphasizes that the Foundation structured the award not just to incentivize a solution, but to ensure long-term support for V-tail Bonanza owners. The story also touches on how the ruddervator issue impacted aircraft valuations and even insurance policies—some insurers were unwilling to total aircraft with ruddervator damage, knowing repairs were impossible. Tom notes that after the prize was announced, Textron resumed limited production of the original ruddervator skins, showing how serious ABS was about finding a solution. Max wraps up by asking what other challenges might face Bonanza owners. Tom replies that while issues will always arise, most are solvable. The ruddervator shortage, however, was unique—it was an existential threat. Thanks to SRS Aviation and the support of the aviation community, that threat has now been eliminated.
