Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19

Yan Xie et al.

Summary: Individuals with COVID-19, even those who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection, are at an increased long-term risk of various cardiovascular disorders. A study using national healthcare databases found that beyond the first 30 days after infection, individuals with COVID-19 have an elevated risk of developing cerebrovascular disorders, heart diseases, and other cardiovascular complications. The risk increases depending on the care setting during the acute phase.

COVID-19 infection: an overview on cytokine storm and related interventions

Soheila Montazersaheb et al.

Summary: COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 poses a significant global health threat, leading to pneumonia and ARDS in patients. Cytokine storm, characterized by elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukins and TNF-alpha, contributes to lung damage in ARDS patients. Suppressing the inflammatory response may be a possible strategy for managing COVID-19.

The dynamic changes of serum IgM and IgG against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with COVID-19

Wei Zhou et al.

Summary: This study observed significant decline in IgM and IgG antibodies in COVID-19 patients between weeks 4 to 10 after symptom onset. Notably, 77.5% of patients experienced a rapid reduction by half in IgG levels within the second month. Furthermore, in the recovery stage, IgG levels decreased significantly by a median of 50%.

Chaolin Huang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term health consequences of discharged COVID-19 patients and associated risk factors, particularly disease severity. Patients with more severe illness during hospitalization showed more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions for long-term recovery.

Interplay of Antibody and Cytokine Production Reveals CXCL13 as a Potential Novel Biomarker of Lethal SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Alexander M. Horspool et al.

Summary: The study reveals that COVID-19 patients produce antibodies to three proteins of the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) and identifies many other immunological proteins involved during infection. Data suggests that CXCL13 may be a novel biomarker for severe COVID-19 that can be readily measured in blood. This study provides new insights into the immune response during COVID-19 and identifies a potential marker for assessing disease severity.

Correlation of Automated Chemiluminescent Method with Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Antibody Titers in Convalescent COVID-19 Plasma Samples: Development of Rapid, Cost-Effective Semi-Quantitative Diagnostic Methods

Rachelle Mendoza et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the utility of an automated chemiluminescent SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody assay platform in quantifying antibodies in convalescent plasma, with comparable sensitivities between methods and a positive linear correlation. This suggests that chemiluminescent-based methods can provide a rapid, cost-effective means of identifying anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers for potential use in COVID-19 treatment.
