Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study

TLDR
Characteristics of patients who died were in line with the MuLBSTA score, an early warning model for predicting mortality in viral pneumonia, and further investigation is needed to explore the applicability of the Mu LBSTA scores in predicting the risk of mortality in 2019-nCoV infection.

Clinical and pathological investigation of patients with severe COVID-19.

TL;DR: Circulating cytokines, including IL-8, IL-6, TNF-α, IP10, MCP1, and RANTES, were significantly elevated in patients with severe COVID-19 and could be used to predict disease deterioration and inform clinical interventions.

Anosmia in COVID-19: Underlying Mechanisms and Assessment of an Olfactory Route to Brain Infection.

TL;DR: Current evidence is critically examined whether and how the SARS-CoV-2 virus can follow a route from the olfactory epithelium in the nose to the brain to achieve brain infection and the prospects for using the smell and taste dysfunctions seen in COVID-19 as an early and rapid diagnostic screening tool are discussed.

Correlation Analysis Between Disease Severity and Inflammation-related Parameters in Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia

TL;DR: Inflammation is closely related to severity of COVID-19, and IL-6, TNFα andIL-8 might be promising therapeutic targets, and the progress of CO VID-19 to critical stage should be closely observed and possibly prevented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current epidemiological and clinical features of COVID-19; a global perspective from China.

TL;DR: This review systematically discusses the etiology, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and current intervention measures related to COVID-19 in the hope that it may provide a reference for future studies and aid in the prevention and control of the CO VID-19 epidemic.

Isolation of a Novel Coronavirus from a Man with Pneumonia in Saudi Arabia

TL;DR: The clinical picture was remarkably similar to that of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 and reminds us that animal coronaviruses can cause severe disease in humans.

Origin and evolution of pathogenic coronaviruses

TL;DR: The viral factors that enabled the emergence of diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome are explored and the diversity and potential of bat-borne coronaviruses are highlighted.
