Chinese researchers have for the first time shown in a pilot study that the use of convalescent plasma from cured COVID-19 patients provides promising results in the treatment of others with more severe disease. In the preprint study at medRxiv (http://doi.org/dqrs; 2020), K. Duan et al. report that the administration of a single, high-dose of […]
A small study published 8 April 2020 in Science by researchers in China found that cats are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and can pass the virus on to other cats via airborne transmission. However, dogs showed low susceptibility, and livestock including pigs, chickens, and ducks were not susceptible to the virus. They did not study […]
A Loughborough University academic is providing guidance to clinicians who are likely to be having – and training people who will have – difficult conversations with patients suffering from COVID-19 or those closest to them. Professor Ruth Parry, an expert in healthcare communication and interaction, has outlined a series of evidence-based principles with the help […]
As the COVID-19 pandemic upends life as people know it, changing daily routines, limiting social interactions and shaking their sense of safety, a mental health experts from U.S. hospital Cleveland Clinic’s Mellen Center is stressing that it is perfectly acceptable to feel sad about all of it. She points out that grief is a natural […]
A new study by Chinese researchers to check aerosol and surface distribution of SARS-COV-2 in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and General Ward (GW) with COVID-19 infected patients found that the virus can be detected in the air up to 4 metres away from patients. In addition, they found the virus was widely distributed on […]
Waltham, MA–Nova Biomedical to host “COVID-19 Bedside Glucose Management: Risk of Ascorbic Acid and Hematocrit Interference,” a webinar led by Charbel Abou-Diwan, PhD, Director of Medical and Scientific Affairs, to help inform and support healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients. Interest in the antioxidant properties of ascorbic acid use in critically ill patients is growing especially […]
A pan-European consortium of biotech companies announced April 23 that they will collaborate to develop and manufacture on a large scale a novel adenoviral vector-based vaccine against COVID-19. The vaccine candidate is expected to enter clinical trials mid 2020 with vaccine production planned to start following the successful trials. If all goes according to plan, […]
Sanofi and GSK will partner to develop an adjuvanted vaccine for COVID-19, using technology from both companies. Sanofi will contribute its S-protein COVID-19 antigen, which is based on recombinant DNA technology. This technology has produced an exact genetic match to proteins found on the surface of the virus, and the DNA sequence encoding this antigen […]
