(Reuters) – The following is a brief review of some of the most recent clinical studies on the new coronavirus and efforts for remedies and vaccines for COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.
Convalescent plasma reduces coVID-19 death
Antibody-rich blood plasma infusions from others recovered from the new coronavirus, known as convalescent plasma, may decrease the threat of death in patients hospitalized by COVID-19, according to combined knowledge research from 8 previous studies from more than 700 hospitalized patients worldwide. Researchers found that mortality rates were around 13% in patients who obtained convalescence plasma compared to about 25% for those who did not receive treatment. Convalescent plasma was found to be on an earlier examination of 5,000 adults hospitalized with severe or potentially fatal COVID-19. In this study, less than 1% of patients had severe side effects within the first 4 hours after transfusion. The existing test may simply not take into account differences in points such as the degree of disease of patients, the amount of plasma they obtained, the duration of their illness before receiving them, and the time they were followed by doctors. “Given the quality of plasma management in COVID-19 patients, effectsArray … inspire its continued use as therapy,” the researchers write in a report published prior to peer review.

Exposure to colds may have an effect on the severity of COVID-19
In patients with COVID-19, T-phones will be informed in the immune formula to recognize and attack the new coronavirus. But other people who have never mingled with the virus have T-phones that also recognize it. Scholars suspected that in these individuals, beyond exposure to other coronaviruses, such as those that provoke incruentas, they had started their T-cell phones to recognize and attack this new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), and new studies prove it. . In studies of human blood samples taken long before the discovery of the new coronavirus, researchers discovered T-cell phones that were equally reactive as opposed to the new virus and 4 types of non-unusual bloodless coronavirus. The most powerful T mobile responses to the new coronavirus have been linked to the complex protein that the virus uses to penetrate human mobiles. “We knew there was pre-existing reactivity, and this study provides very strong direct molecular evidence that reminiscence T mobiles can ‘see’ sequences that are very similar between common bloodless coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2,” co-author Alessandro Sette said the La Jolla Institute of Immunology in a statement. It is credible to think that beyond exposure to bloodless viruses can contribute to the diversification of the severity of COVID-19, studies said Tuesday in the journal Science.

Severe COVID-19 may be less fatal in children
Children with COVID-19 rarely become seriously ill, and when they do, they have a greater ability to perform than adults, based on the first knowledge of an ongoing exam. The CRITICAL Coronavirus and Kids Epidemiology (CAKE) test focused on 65 pediatric intensive care sets in 18 countries. In a paper published Wednesday in the journal Pediatrics, the examination team reported on the first 17 young people with severe COVID-19 from 10 hospitals in Chile, Colombia, Italy, Spain and the United States. Most required respiratory assistance, and almost a portion had to be placed on fans. Symptoms were varied, with fever, cough and non-unusual gastrointestinal problems. Overall, one child died, 4 evolved with central inflammation and 3 remained hospitalized. Researchers hope to have more short-term or long-term knowledge that will provide more data on the care and outcomes of these patients, which may also be more vital as schools reopen around the world. Currently, CAKE has recruited nearly one hundred young people in critical condition “and we would possibly be making plans for another hundred by the end of 2020,” Dr. Sebastián González-Dambrauskas of the Latin American Pediatric Collaborative Network told Reuters.
