Coagulation dysfunction in COVID-19: The interplay between inflammation, viral infection and the coagulation system

Maria Grazia Lazzaroni et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is a new pandemic caused by SARS-Cov2 infection, with inflammation and the innate immune system playing key roles in the most severe cases. Abnormalities in coagulation parameters and platelets count have been reported, suggesting a subgroup of patients with poor prognosis. The cytokine storm and virus-specific mechanisms may also contribute to adverse outcomes in COVID-19.

Clinical sequelae of COVID-19 survivors in Wuhan, China: a single-centre longitudinal study

Qiutang Xiong et al.

Summary: The study described the common clinical sequelae in COVID-19 survivors discharged from the hospital for more than 3 months, including general symptoms, respiratory symptoms, cardiovascular-related symptoms, psychosocial symptoms, and alopecia. Female patients were more likely to experience physical decline/fatigue, postactivity polypnoea, and alopecia.

Cellular mechanisms underlying neurological/neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID-19

Brittany Bodnar et al.

Summary: Research indicates that Neuro-SARS2 may worsen the severity and mortality of COVID-19. Understanding the neuropathogenesis and cellular mechanisms of Neuro-SARS2 is crucial for developing effective strategies. While progress has been made, there is still much to learn about the neuroinvasive routes of the virus and the mechanisms underlying disease progression.

Anxiolytic effects of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition in a model of chronic sleep deprivation

Chad Smith et al.

Summary: Research on the impact of sleep deprivation on anxiety and anxiolytic properties reveals that a flavanol-rich dietary preparation can alleviate neuroimmune activation and reduce anxiety. Additionally, the study found that sleep deprivation alters the expression of circadian genes, leading to changes in NLRP3 expression and IL-1 beta production.

Global prevalence and burden of depressive and anxiety disorders in 204 countries and territories in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Damian F. Santomauro et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence and burden of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders globally in 2020. The findings showed that the pandemic led to increased prevalence of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, with females and younger age groups being more affected. The pandemic has created an increased urgency to strengthen mental health systems in most countries and mitigation strategies are needed to address the burden of these mental disorders.

Association between ACE2 and TMPRSS2 nasopharyngeal expression and COVID-19 respiratory distress

Atila Duque Rossi et al.

Summary: ACE2 and TMPRSS2 levels are positively correlated with age, which is strongly associated with respiratory distress. Increased ACE2 levels have a protective effect against this outcome, while the TMPRSS2/ACE2 ratio is associated with risk. In modeling COVID-19 severity, the TMPRSS2/ACE2 ratio outperforms ACE2.

Global Prevalence of Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms in Children and Adolescents During COVID-19 A Meta-analysis

Nicole Racine et al.

Summary: Emerging research indicates a significant increase in the global prevalence of clinically elevated depression and anxiety symptoms among children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prevalence rates were higher in studies conducted later in the pandemic and among girls, with older children exhibiting higher rates of depression symptoms.

The long-term sequelae of COVID-19: an international consensus on research priorities for patients with pre-existing and new-onset airways disease

Davies Adeloye et al.

Summary: An international consensus exercise was conducted to identify research priorities for understanding the long-term effects of acute COVID-19, focusing on individuals with pre-existing airways disease. High priority was given to investigations on prognostic scores at hospital admission and morbidity at 3 months and 12 months after hospital discharge, as well as comparisons of prevalence and severity of post-COVID-19 symptoms between patients with and without pre-existing airways disease.

SARS-CoV-2 infection of the central nervous system in a 14-month-old child: A case report of a complete autopsy

Ismael Gomes et al.

Summary: This study describes neuroinvasion in the post-mortem tissues of a child with SARS-CoV-2 infection, revealing multisystemic histopathological alterations caused by the virus. The findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may invade the central nervous system by disrupting the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. These results contribute to understanding fatal COVID-19 in children.

Jian Zheng et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Experimental studies in animals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have revealed severe lung and brain damage, as well as early onset anosmia in mice. Excitingly, infusion of convalescent plasma from recovered patients has shown to protect against lethal disease, though it does not prevent anosmia.
