Acute COVID-19 severity markers predict post-COVID new-onset psychiatric disorders: A 2-year cohort study of 34,489 patients

New-onset psychiatric disorders are frequent after COVID-19. We aim to determine whether acute COVID-19 severity markers can predict post-COVID new-onset psychiatric disorders. We conducted an electronic health records (EHR) cohort study of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 and without any known history of psychiatric disorders. Patients were included between January 2020 and September 2022 in one … Read more

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases hosted a virtual workshop on developing mucosal vaccines for COVID-19, highlighting challenges and opportunities.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists worldwide have been tirelessly working on the development of vaccines to curb the spread of the virus. While several vaccines have been developed and authorized for use, there is still a need to explore more efficient and effective ways to combat the virus. One promising approach that … Read more

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases co-hosted a workshop on mucosal vaccines for COVID-19, with researchers emphasizing the need for improvement. No COVID-19 mucosal vaccines have been authorized for use in the US or Europe, but at least 44 are in preclinical development. The workshop concluded that research into mucosal vaccine development is a priority, and could lead to improved vaccines for other diseases.

Tranexamic acid doesn’t reduce the need for blood transfusion or maternal death after a cesarean, reveals a study funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Patients given the drug did have a slightly lower drop in red blood cell count and less need for post-partum medical intervention. Tranexamic acid slows the breakdown of blood clots, and was presumed to reduce bleeding, according to previous studies. However, the new study included 11,000 patients across 31 centres and shows no statistically significant benefit to the treatment.

Cesarean delivery, also known as a C-section, is a common surgical procedure performed to deliver infants when vaginal delivery is not possible or poses risks to the mother or baby. One of the major complications that can arise from a C-section is postpartum hemorrhage, which is excessive bleeding following childbirth. To prevent such bleeding, a … Read more

PubMed: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Subcutaneous Hyperimmune Immunoglobulin Against COVID-19 in Asymptomatic Individuals with SARS-CoV-2 Infection for Disease Prevention.

Background: Anti-COVID-19 hyperimmune immunoglobulin (hIG) can provide standardized and controlled antibody content. Data from controlled clinical trials using hIG for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 outpatients have not been reported. We assessed the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous anti-COVID-19 hyperimmune immunoglobulin 20% (C19-IG20%) compared to placebo in preventing development of symptomatic COVID-19 in asymptomatic … Read more
