Study may pave the way for a more personalized approach to COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment

Using some of the most advanced molecular sequencing tools available to evaluate COVID-19 rapid autopsy tissues, researchers have identified four major regulatory pathways, specific molecular effectors behind COVID-19 symptoms, and differences that drive diverging clinical courses among individual patients.

Research finds greater mortality risk among rural COVID patients in ICUs than urban counterparts

The earliest wave of COVID-19 spared much of rural America, striking people who live in urban areas with far more frequency. The latest surge was different, however. Nonmetropolitan COVID cases outpaced metropolitan ones. So did overall COVID mortality rates.

Study shows 90.7% efficacy for the BNT162b2 COVID vaccine in 5-11 year-olds

A new study evaluates the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the BNT162b2 in children who were 5 to 11 years of age.

KHN’s ‘What the Health?’: Why health care is so expensive, chapter $22K

Congress appears to be making progress on its huge social spending bill, but even if it passes the House as planned the week of Nov. 15, it's unlikely it can get through the Senate before the Thanksgiving deadline that Democrats set for themselves.

Long-lasting anti-spike and anti-membrane antibodies can differentiate between COVID-19 infection and vaccination

Researchers have been investigating which other proteins remain prevalent long enough for tests against them to be worthwhile.

New Delta sublineage shows no additional resistance to neutralization

Researchers are attempting to determine the ability of this new sublineage to avoid neutralization by antibodies elicited from vaccination.

Immunity following COVID-19 vaccination and natural infection in India

The researchers evaluated immune response markers in a cross-section of people from the Indian state of West Bengal, including those vaccinated with either Covishield or Covaxin, the unvaccinated cohort, and the naturally infected.

Association between SARS-CoV-2 infections and areal level deprivation and ethnicity in England

A new study from the UK shows that the presence of inequality favors a heavier impact and that this showed dynamic changes as policies changed and newer virus variants emerged.

COVID-19 trends identified from multiple linked EHR

In this study, the sociodemographic factors, occurrence of health conditions, the effect of the first and second waves in England, and vaccination effects, were considered separately.

11 Nov 2021

Corrected method for more accurate estimation of SARS-CoV-2 reproduction number

Scientists have recently proposed and applied a correction to EpiEstim, a statistical method to estimate the time-dependent transmission of infectious disease during an epidemic.

11 Nov 2021

Phage-like particle system provides a platform for quick and easy vaccine generation

In this study, researchers report on the development of a monovalent lambda PLP-based vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 or MERS-Cov through decoration with the spike RBD proteins from either virus.

11 Nov 2021

Effectiveness of sotrovimab demonstrated in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19

In an attempt to study the safety and effectiveness of sotrovimab in more vulnerable patients suffering from mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19, a multinational team of researchers conducted the COVID-19 Monoclonal antibody Efficacy Trial-Intent to Care Early (COMET-ICE) trial.

REGEN-COV shown to rapidly reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral load in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Studies have shown that mortality rates in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 are high, ranging between 10% and 30%. REGEN-COV®, a combination of monoclonal antibodies casirivimab and imdevimab, is approved in the United States and other regions for emergency treatment of COVID-19 outpatients with mild to moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection and post-exposure prophylaxis.
