Coagulopathy associated with COVID-19 – Perspectives &Preventive strategies using a biological response modifier Glucan

TL;DR: The perspectives on the effect of regular supplementation with the biological response modifier beta glucan based on its relevance to immune modulation are presented, of paramount importance in decreasing the development of severe COVID-19 and reducing mortality against the background of coagulopathy, especially in vulnerable populations.

SARS-CoV-2 Is Not Detected in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Encephalopathic COVID-19 Patients

TL;DR: It is found that the mRNAs encoding the ACE2 receptor and the TMPRSS2 transmembrane serine protease, both of which are required for viral entry into host cells, are minimally expressed in the major cell types of the brain.

Large artery ischaemic stroke in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

TL;DR: It is believed that increased vigilance against stroke and other thrombotic complications among critically-ill SARS patients in future outbreaks is needed, especially if treatment such as intravenous immunoglobulin, that increases pro-thrombosis tendency, is contemplated.
