Causal links between severe COVID-19 and blood proteins identified via proteome-wide Mendelian randomization in new study

A recent study was based on Mendelian randomization analyses conducted between high levels of numerous blood proteins and COVID-19.

High prevalence of new-onset diabetes with ketoacidosis observed in children during COVID-19 pandemic

Research revealed the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus with severe diabetic ketoacidosis has increased among genetically susceptible children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A predictive model for COVID-19 outcomes

A new technique to solve unbalanced problems for the efficient management of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients according to comorbidities, age, and sex.

Increasing trend of antimicrobial resistance in Eastern Mediterranean Region of World Health Organization

Researchers investigated the rising antimicrobial resistance in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of the World Health Organization from 2017 to 2019.

Pain neuron-derived peptide protects mice from endotoxic death by enhancing brain ATP production

Sepsis is a high-mortality disease that arises when the body's immune reaction to pathogens causes multi-organ defects.

Mathematical model for evaluating factors driving SARS-CoV-2 transmission and pathogenesis

A new study provides an overview of the use of mathematical modeling to determine severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 kinetics.

Elevated P2X7 receptor levels in COVID-19 patients correlate with disease severity

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the soluble P2X7 receptor is increased in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients. They also showed that the elevated P2X7 receptors correlated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity.

Lower exosome component 2 expression protects against clinical SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the lower expression of EXOSC2 human protein safeguards from clinical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This protective effect was via the reduced EXOSC2 expression-associated suppression of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication.

9 Mar 2022

A new view of SARS-CoV-2 genome structure

Researchers performed DMS mutational profiling with sequencing and DREEM clustering to determine the SARS-CoV-2 RNA secondary structure.

Insurance status and residential zip codes linked with survival among breast cancer patients

Recent findings published in JAMA Oncology found that individual insurance status and residential zip codes were correlated with overall survival among women with early hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

8 Mar 2022

Researchers develop scoring tools to determine hospitalization and mortality risk in COVID-19 patients

Researchers conducted a large retrospective study on a cohort of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 SARS-CoV-2 patients, developing and validating a simple and precise scoring tool to risk stratify COVID-19 ambulatory and emergency department patients for subsequent hospitalizations and mortalities.

8 Mar 2022

Higher SARS-CoV-2 load in morning-collected samples

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers identified that morning-collected nasal and saliva samples yielded better detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), especially in tests with low to moderate analytical sensitivity.

8 Mar 2022

Bacterial coinfection pervasiveness and antibiotic use in COVID-19 patients

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers conducted a meta-analysis to determine the bacterial coinfection and antibiotic usage prevalence in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

Clinical decision support system may help improve cardiovascular health in patients with severe mental illness

In a new study, researchers demonstrated that they can significantly lower cardiovascular risk for patients with severe mental illness (SMI) by using a clinical decision support system that prompts doctors to provide individualized informational handouts about a patient's cardiovascular risk and treatment recommendations.

7 Mar 2022

French study shows COVID vaccine efficacy 94% against severe outcomes

A recent paper published on the medRxiv preprint server utilized data from three national databases containing an abundance of information on Covid-19 screening (SI-DEP), vaccination (VAC-SI), and hospitalizations (SI-VIC) in France to provide additional perspectives on vaccine effectiveness and its evolution over the year 2021 in the French context.
