Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The density of the expression levels of ACE2 in the CNS, the host–virus interaction and relate it to the pathogenesis and complications seen in the recent cases resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak are investigated.
Abstract
The recent outbreak of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) has gripped the world with apprehension and has evoked a scare of epic proportion regarding its potential to spread and infect ...

[Epilepsy and COVID-19: patient management and optimization of antiepileptic therapy during pandemic]

TL;DR: The article discusses the main principles of epilepsy management during the COVID-19 pandemic: the need to comply with the regime; the importance of AED adherence, taking into account drug-drug interactions; switching patients to intravenous AED forms if necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mild and moderate COVID-19 disease does not affect hearing function permanently: a cross-sectional study involving young and middle-aged healthcare givers.

TL;DR: In this article, the hearing thresholds of patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 disease were assessed using pure tone audiometry, and the differences between the HTs of none of the subgroups were statistically significant.

Mental Health and COVID - 19: An Action Plan

TL;DR: A plan to easily frame the priorities of mental health area related to COVID-19 to be taken into consideration is provided which should be disseminated and that should be known by all health professionals and also by the major administrators of public health.

Meta-Analysis of APP Expression Modulated by SARS-CoV-2 Infection via the ACE2 Receptor

TL;DR: The study results suggest that ACE2 could be downregulated by SARS-CoV-2, resulting in APP upregulation, and potentially exacerbating the onset and progression of AD.

The contribution of whole-exome sequencing to intellectual disability diagnosis and knowledge of underlying molecular mechanisms: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Investigation and estimate the rate of ID molecular diagnostic assessment by WES, quantify the contribution of DNMs to this rate, and biologically and functionally characterize the genes whose mutations were identified through WES support WES as an important approach to the molecular diagnosis of ID.

Cryo-EM structure of the 2019-nCoV spike in the prefusion conformation.

TL;DR: The authors show that this protein binds at least 10 times more tightly than the corresponding spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)–CoV to their common host cell receptor, and test several published SARS-CoV RBD-specific monoclonal antibodies found that they do not have appreciable binding to 2019-nCoV S, suggesting that antibody cross-reactivity may be limited between the two RBDs.

The neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 may play a role in the respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients

TL;DR: It remains to make clear whether the potential invasion of SARS‐CoV2 is partially responsible for the acute respiratory failure of patients with COVID‐19, which emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and rapidly spreads around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection causes neuronal death in the absence of encephalitis in mice transgenic for human ACE2.

TL;DR: The results show that neurons are a highly susceptible target for SARS-CoV and that only the absence of the host cell receptor prevents severe murine brain disease.

Neurological Manifestations of Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective case series study

TL;DR: In this paper, the neurological manifestations of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were studied in three categories: central nervous system (CNS) symptoms or diseases (headache, dizziness, impaired consciousness, ataxia, acute cerebrovascular disease, and epilepsy), peripheral nervous system symptoms (hypogeusia, hyposmia, hypopsia, and neuralgia), and skeletal muscular symptoms.
