SARS-CoV-2 is a newly discovered human coronavirus group (HCoV), which are single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family of Coronaviridae. A range of respiratory diseases have been induced by some of these pathogens in the past. SARS-CoV-1 infected more than 8,000 individuals around the world, for example. Human coronavirus linked to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) also occurred ...
At the end of the year 2019, a cluster of severe pneumonia of unknown cause was described in Wuhan (Eastern China) and a SARS-like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was noted in these patients. Early in January 2020, sequencing revealed a novel coronavirus (now termed SARS-CoV-2) as the causal factor for the disease designated as ...

Summary The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic began in 2019 and rapidly scaled to a global presence of disease known as COVID-19. Despite the relatively fast implementation of testing and vaccination worldwide, the rise of emerging viral variants and breakthrough infections raises concerns that SARS-CoV-2 will continue to pose a global health threat. ...
While the world continues to endure loss and hardship due to the outbreak of COVID-19, caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), researchers are scrambling to provide test kits that are accurate, fast, sensitive, and widely available, especially as symptoms vary broadly and may not appear for days if at all. To this end, several diagnostic methods have been ...
Spring is fast approaching, and coronavirus restrictions are being lifted all over the northern hemisphere. Are we ready to loosen up protection? Is there hope the virus will die in summer? With time flying unnoticed, we are already into our third summer with coronavirus being part of our lives. As of today, almost 500 million people worldwide have been in contact with SARS-CoV-2. These, of ...
The combination of congenital heart disease (CHD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can present a difficult scenario to manage with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). ...
Insilico Medicine announced the nomination of a novel preclinical therapeutic candidate for treating COVID-19, designed using the generative chemistry AI platform Chemistry42. The new drug candidate is a 3CL protease inhibitor unique from existing drugs in its class because it can be rapidly produced. While this nomination is a potentially important development for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic ...
On January 8, 2022, Bloomberg reported that Leondios Kostrikis, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, and his team had discovered a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, named "Deltacron" because it has an Omicron-like genetic signature in the Delta genome. Deltacron, according to Kostrikis, mixes genes from Delta and Omicron and may have come from patients who had both Delta and ...
Cytokine storms can occur in a variety of diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), and influenza. ...
Abstract Messenger RNA (mRNA) based vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna) are highly effective at providing immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there is uncertainty about the duration of immunity, evolution of IgG antibody levels and IgG avidity (an index of antibody-antigen binding strength), and differences in the immune responses between ...
First, I hope your family, neighbors, and friends are all healthy and safe. The purpose of this article is not to sell you anything. It is to allow you to understand the importance of disinfection before and after the vaccines are incomplete implementation. Let’s start with why we believe that everyone needs to be diligent, even though there is a vaccine. Remember the Severe Acute ...
Blueberry Therapeutics is a drug development company committed to finding new and improved treatments for a range of dermatological conditions affecting the skin and nails. The future and long-term effect of the global COVID-19 pandemic (caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2 virus]) on dermatology practice and skin health is still unknown, but here we provide some ...
Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives:To ...
Wuhan, China, the presumed epicenter of COVID-19, was barely a blip on most people's radar before the virus breakout. It wasn't until much later did we begin learning just how important a global manufacturing hub Wuhan is. For decades it's been a pivotal area of modern industrial manufacturing for high technology and engineering industries including: 20 companies in the electronic communications ...
After a lightning round of proposals and reviews, an international team of scientists led by Dr. Camillo Ricordi was granted immediate FDA authorization for a 24-patient clinical trial to test the safety and exploratory efficacy of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to block the life-threatening lung inflammation that accompanies severe cases of COVID-19. The therapy uses ...
Introduction In recent years, contaminated feed has been confirmed as a vehicle for transmission of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). It was also demonstrated that a number of additional viruses, such as Seneca Valley virus, feline calicivirus, bovine herpesvirus-1, porcine sapelovirus, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), could maintain infectivity in feed ...
In February of 2003, newspapers began reporting a rapidly spreading atypical pneumonia. Now identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome or SARS, this highly contagious condition is caused by a new coronavirus for which there is no specific antiviral treatment. While the epicentre of the outbreak was China, the disease spread quickly across Asia and to North America (especially Canada) with a ...
Examples of applications are given in the context of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), an inflammatory disease of the lung triggered by a massive arrest of white blood cells in the lung microvasculature. ...
Time series statistical methods are used to study the financial impact of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic via the co-integration (interdependence) of time series of indexes of several Asian stock markets. We find that during and after the SARS influenza crisis, stock market returns of the infected countries exhibited significant increase in co-integrated relationship and ...
At the peak of the worldwide SARS epidemic, apprehension arose out of partially disclosed, if not concealed, information on the current status has driven many foreign-based companies to withdraw their business in Taiwan or move their bases elsewhere. Normal trading, investment and travel were suspended or came to a standstill. This paper traces the spread of SARS in Taiwan and the corresponding ...
