FRIDAY, Sept. 4, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Placing a hospitalized COVID-19 patient in a face down position to ease breathing -- or "proning" -- has steadily gained traction as a pandemic lifesaver. But a small new study warns that it may lead to permanent nerve damage.
COVID-19 ist eine Erkrankung, die primär die Lunge betrifft. Diese Infektion befällt die Bronchien und die Lunge, führt dadurch zu einer Lungenentzündung und kann in weiterer Folge auch andere Organe angreifen. Eine Studie an der Klinik Innsbruck zeigt erste Ergebnisse rund um Langzeitfolgen des Coronavirus.
Acute kidney injury is a commonly described complication of COVID-19 that has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality. Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been found in the kidney,1
the clinical effect remains unclear.2
Here, we present data from a post-mortem series of 63 patients who had SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection (appendix pp 2–3), linking SARS-CoV-2 renal tropism to clinical outcome and acute kidney injury.
This Viewpoint discusses physical and epidemiological evidence supporting droplet vs aerosol transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SA
Nach ausführlicher Prüfung der präklinischen und klinischen Daten aus den Phase-1/2-Studien und in Absprache mit dem Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) der US-Arzneimittelbehörde FDA und anderen globalen Regulierungsbehörden haben Pfizer und BioNTech beschlossen, einen Impfstoffkandidaten mit einer Dosis von 30 µg in einem 2-Dosis-Schema in die Phase-2/3-Studie zu bringen. Erst vor Kurzem hatte dieser Impfstoffkandidat den Fast-Track-Status der FDA erhalten.
Study published in Nature shows J&J’s investigational SARS-CoV-2 vaccine elicits a strong immune response that protects against subsequent infection First-in-human Phase 1/2a clinical trial now underway in United States and Belgium; Phase 3 clinical trial expected to commence in September
The Diamond Princess cruise ship was put under quarantine offshore Yokohama, Japan, after a passenger who disembarked in Hong Kong was confirmed as a coronavirus disease 2019 case. We performed whole-genome sequencing of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) directly from PCR+ clinical specimens and conducted a phylogenetic analysis of the outbreak. All tested isolates exhibited a transversion at G11083T, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 dissemination on the Diamond Princess originated from a single introduction event before the quarantine started. Although further spreading might have been prevented by quarantine, some progeny clusters could be linked to transmission through mass-gathering events in the recreational areas and direct transmission among passengers who shared cabins during the quarantine. This study demonstrates the usefulness of haplotype network/phylogeny analysis in identifying potential infection routes.
Due to the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, medical face masks are widely recommended for a large number of individuals and long durations. The effect of wearing a surg
Der Mund-Nasen-Schutz ist eine wirksame Barriere für Viren – aber das Tragen einer solchen Maske hat auch Nachteile: Die Atmung wird dadurch etwa messbar beeinträchtigt, wie eine Untersuchung des Universitätsklinikums Leipzig nachweist.
