The ins and outs of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs)

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors classified SARS-CoV-2 variants as variants of concern (VOC) because they exhibit greater transmissibility, cause more severe disease, are better able to escape immunity, or cause higher mortality than the original Wuhan strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 in Joint Ageing and Osteoarthritis: Current Status and Perspectives

TL;DR: It is hypothesize that SARS-CoV-2 contributes to age-related perturbations in endothelial and adipose tissue, which are known to characterize the early aging process, which would explain the long-lasting symptoms of Sars-Cov-2 as the result of an accelerated aging process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monoclonal antibody therapies in the management of SARS-CoV-2 infection

TL;DR: NAbs offer an effective, evidence-based therapeutic intervention during the early stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection when viral replication is the primary factor driving disease progression, and the availability of effective treatments for COVID-19 will allow the establishment of treatment algorithms for minimizing the substantial rates of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality currently associated with the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling SARS-CoV-2 spike/ACE2 protein–protein interactions for predicting the binding affinity of new spike variants for ACE2, and novel ACE2 structurally related human protein targets, for COVID-19 handling in the 3PM context

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a computational pipeline for calculating the interaction energies at the SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD/ACE2 protein-protein interface for a selected group of characterized infectious variants of concern/interest (VoC/VoI).
Journal ArticleDOI

OMICRON: Virology, immunopathogenesis, and laboratory diagnosis

TL;DR: An overview of the biological and immunopathological properties of Omicron and its subvariants, its clinical signs and symptoms, Omicon and pediatrics, vaccines against OmicRON, re‐infection with Omicrons, diagnostic approaches and specific challenges of O micron in the successful control and management of the rapid global spread of this variant are provided.

A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019.

TL;DR: Human airway epithelial cells were used to isolate a novel coronavirus, named 2019-nCoV, which formed a clade within the subgenus sarbecovirus, Orthocoronavirinae subfamily, which is the seventh member of the family of coronaviruses that infect humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adult inpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective cohort study.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used univariable and multivariable logistic regression methods to explore the risk factors associated with in-hospital death, including older age, high SOFA score and d-dimer greater than 1 μg/mL.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic and metagenomic analyses of the complete viral genome of a new coronavirus from the family Coronaviridae reveal that the virus is closely related to a group of SARS-like coronaviruses found in bats in China.
