Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths in the United States: a county-level analysis as of November 2020

Ahmad Khanijahani

Summary: In the United States, counties with a higher proportion of Black population and adults with less than a high school diploma had disproportionately higher COVID-19 cases and deaths. A higher proportion of Hispanic population was associated with higher confirmed cases. Despite adjusting for covariates, observed disparities in COVID-19 deaths persisted, potentially exacerbating existing health disparities among these population groups.

Transcriptome of nasopharyngeal samples from COVID-19 patients and a comparative analysis with other SARS-CoV-2 infection models reveal disparate host responses against SARS-CoV-2

Abul Bashar Mir Md. Khademul Islam et al.

Summary: The study found unique and rare missense mutations in the 3C-like protease of COVID-19 patients, with host-induced responses mediated by innate immunity, interferon, and cytokine stimulation. Upregulation of immune and cytokine signaling genes was observed in the lungs, while viral proteins mediated overexpression of integrins, especially in non-structural proteins, suggesting a possible enhanced invasion route. Additionally, highly expressed transcription factors with pivotal roles in lung injury were identified in the study.

The central role of the nasal microenvironment in the transmission, modulation, and clinical progression of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Oreste Gallo et al.

Summary: This study critically reviews the latest molecular and cellular findings on the mucosal response to SARS-CoV-2 in the nasal cavity and in NALT, and analyzes its impact on the subsequent course of COVID-19. The possibility of modulating the systemic inflammatory network against the virus starting from the initial phases of the nasal and nasopharyngeal response is explored, with potential clinical and epidemiological implications for mucosal vaccine development.

Nasopharyngeal Microbiome Signature in COVID-19 Positive Patients: Can We Definitively Get a Role to Fusobacterium periodonticum?

Carmela Nardelli et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to significant differences in the nasopharyngeal microbiome composition between patients and controls. The reduction of certain bacteria, such as Fusobacterium periodonticum (FP), may affect the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further research is needed to elucidate the specific role of FP in COVID-19.

Hospital-Acquired Infections in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19

Giacomo Grasselli et al.

Summary: Critically ill patients with COVID-19 are at high risk for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), especially ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. HAIs prolong mechanical ventilation and hospitalization, and those complicated by septic shock nearly double mortality rate.

COVID-19-related anosmia is associated with viral persistence and inflammation in human olfactory epithelium and brain infection in hamsters

Guilherme Dias de Melo et al.

Summary: Recent investigations have shown that olfactory and taste dysfunction are common in mildly symptomatic COVID-19 patients. Research on the olfactory neuroepithelium revealed that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause local inflammation and lead to acute loss of smell, which may account for prolonged symptoms of COVID-19 such as anosmia.
