COVID-19 and oil market crash: Revisiting the safe haven property of gold and Bitcoin December 26, 2022
The global crude oil market has experienced a significant downturn following the novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) in December 2019. Thereafter, all the major oil markets have become extremely volatile, and investments in these markets could lead to substantial losses. This paper empirically investigates the time-varying correlations between gold and oil markets to examine whether gold […]

COVID-19 Policy Response and the Rise of the Sub-National Governments August 30, 2022
We examine the roles of sub-national and national governments in Canada and the United States vis-à-vis the protective public health response in the onset phase of the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This period was characterized in both countries by incomplete information as well as by uncertainty regarding which level of government should be […]

Pharmacotherapy of Acute COVID-19 Infection and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children: Current State of Knowledge August 3, 2022
Background: The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is a health care emergency across the world. Although mitigation measures, such as social distancing and face masks, have attempted to slow the spread of the infection, cases continue to rise. Children who are otherwise healthy tend to develop a milder acute Coronavirus disease 2019 […]

COVID-19 pandemic, health risks, and economic consequences: Evidence from China January 21, 2022
This paper introduces the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered model into the Bewley-type incomplete market model and uses it to study the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on China's macroeconomics. The calibrated model predicts that the average propensity to consume household wealth will decline, while the demand for money will increase, and these predictions are consistent with […]

Improving trainee engagement in science: Lessons from a virtual seminar series November 30, 2020
To be a successful researcher, you are expected to have important skills beyond the bench such as being able to ask questions, talk about science with your peers, and organize scientific events. However, there is frequently little to no training or emphasis on these skills at the student and postdoc level. The virtual Aging Science […]

Thromboembolism risk of COVID-19 is high and associated with a higher risk of mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis November 30, 2020
BACKGROUND: Studies have suggested that there is increased risk of thromboembolism (TE) associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, overall arterial and venous TE rates of COVID-19 and effect of TE on COVID-19 mortality is unknown.

Randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial of hydroxychloroquine with or without azithromycin for virologic cure of non-severe Covid-19 November 30, 2020
BACKGROUND: Hydroxychloroquine (HC) ± azithromycin (AZ) is widely used for Covid-19. The Qatar Prospective RCT of Expediting Coronavirus Tapering (Q-PROTECT) aimed to assess virologic cure rates of HC±AZ in cases of low-acuity Covid-19.

COVID-19 in Children With Kidney Disease: A Report of 2 Cases November 30, 2020
The presentation of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children with kidney disease is largely unknown. We report on 2 children with kidney disease not receiving long-term immunosuppression who were hospitalized due to COVID-19. The first case is an infant with end-stage kidney disease secondary to bilateral cystic dysplastic kidneys and posterior urethral valves receiving […]

Frequency and Analysis of Unplanned Extubation in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients November 30, 2020
CONCLUSIONS: Coronavirus disease 2019 patients have a higher incidence of unplanned extubation that requires reintubation than noncoronavirus disease 2019 patients. Further study is necessary to evaluate the variables that contribute to this higher incidence and clinical strategies that can reduce it.

Predictors of Mortality and Effect of Drug Therapies in Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Multicenter Cohort Study November 30, 2020
We conducted a multicenter cohort study to determine the effect of drug therapies on survival in mechanically ventilated patients with coronavirus disease 2019. All consecutive adult patients admitted to ICU for coronavirus disease 2019 from March 1, 2020, to April 25, 2020, and under invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours were included. Out […]

Low serum calcium: a new, important indicator of COVID-19 patients from mild/moderate to severe/critical November 30, 2020
CONCLUSIONS: Our finding indicates that calcium balance is a primal hit of COVID-19 and a biomarker of clinical severity at the beginning of symptom onset. Calcium is closely associated with virus-associated multiple organ injuryes and the increase of inflammatory cytokines. Our results provide a new, important indicator of COVID-19 patients from mild/moderate to severe/critical: serum […]

Feasibility of using a handheld ultrasound device to detect and characterize shunt and deep vein thrombosis in patients with COVID-19: an observational study November 30, 2020
CONCLUSION: Use of handheld ultrasound to perform combined lung ultrasound, DVT ultrasound, and limited TTE with color Doppler and saline microbubble contrast is feasible, and may be able to characterize shunt in critically hypoxic patients. Serial studies could be used to monitor changes in shunt. Further studies are required to determine whether this can guide […]

High affinity of host human microRNAs to SARS-CoV-2 genome: An in silico analysis November 30, 2020
CONCLUSION: Collectively, more experimental studies especially miRNA-based studies are needed to explore detailed molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Moreover, the role of DEGs including STAT1, CCND1, CXCL-10, and MAPKAPK2 in SARS-CoV-2 should be investigated to identify the similarities and differences between SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses.

Delirium Incidence, Duration, and Severity in Critically Ill Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 November 30, 2020
CONCLUSIONS: Delirium without coma occurred in 29.1% of patients admitted to the ICU. Delirium persisted for a median of 5 days and was severe. Mechanical ventilation was significantly associated with odds of delirium even after adjustment for sedatives. Clinical attention to manage delirium duration and severity, and deeper understanding of the virus' neurologic effects is […]

Misinformation, manipulation, and abuse on social media in the era of COVID-19 November 30, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic represented an unprecedented setting for the spread of online misinformation, manipulation, and abuse, with the potential to cause dramatic real-world consequences. The aim of this special issue was to collect contributions investigating issues such as the emergence of infodemics, misinformation, conspiracy theories, automation, and online harassment on the onset of the coronavirus […]

Rocuronium priming for tracheal intubation in COVID-19 patients November 30, 2020
Priming doses of non-depolarising neuromuscular blocking drugs given before administration of anaesthetic agents have been used to hasten the onset of neuromuscular blockade. In the settings of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), this could be used to reduce the apnoeic, and potentially aerosol-generating, window. To our knowledge, we report the first cases of tracheal intubation with […]
