TL;DR: Chertow et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed the dynamics of fecal RNA shedding up to 10 months after COVID-19 diagnosis in 113 individuals with mild to moderate disease, followed for 10 months post-diagnosis.

TL;DR: The following guide to death certification is intended to illustrate some basic principles and common pitfalls in electronic death registration with the goal of improving death certification accuracy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide evidence that cardiomyocytes are infected in patients with COVID-19 myocarditis and are susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

TL;DR: Estimation of endothelial protein C receptor, thrombomodulin, and von Willebrand factor by immunofluorescence in great saphenous veins harvested at cardiac bypass surgery supports the hypothesis that the endothelium of valve sinus differs from that of vein lumen with up- regulation of anticoagulant and down-regulation of procoagULant activities in response to the local environment.

TL;DR: A case of sudden unexpected death due to COVID-19 is presented as a means of illustrating common autopsy findings, as well as diagnostic and biosafety considerations, in an effort to provide practical evidence-based biosafety guidance for medical examiner-coroner offices encountering CO VID-19 at autopsy.
