Summary: Increasing vaccination coverage was associated with lower rates of population level covid-19 mortality and incidence in the US. Higher vaccination coverage levels were linked to reduced mortality and incidence rates during the eras of alpha and delta variant predominance.

Involvement of Il-33 in the Pathogenesis and Prognosis of Major Respiratory Viral Infections: Future Perspectives for Personalized Therapy

Giuseppe Murdaca et al.

Summary: IL-33 is an important cytokine involved in type-2 immunity and allergic airway disease. It plays a significant role in both innate and adaptive immune responses in mucosal organs, particularly in lung epithelial cells. Increased release of IL-33 during respiratory virus infections contributes to pro-inflammatory effects and exacerbates symptoms of chronic respiratory diseases. Understanding the pathogenic and prognostic involvement of IL-33 in respiratory viral infections, including the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, is crucial for developing targeted therapies to improve clinical outcomes.

Tissue-Specific Immunopathology in Fatal COVID-19

David A. Dorward et al.

Summary: In fatal COVID-19 cases, abnormal immune responses were found primarily in the lung and reticuloendothelial system, which were not clearly associated with the virus. Tissue-specific immunopathology in COVID-19 implicates a significant role of immune-mediated, virus-independent mechanisms in severe disease.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

Sofija Sekulic Markovic et al.

Summary: The study highlights the significant correlation of increased IL-33 with disease severity in COVID-19 patients, especially in the advanced stage, where IL-33 facilitates lung inflammation by inducing proinflammatory cytokines. IL-33 may serve as a promising marker and therapeutic target in COVID-19.

Early Measurement of Blood sST2 Is a Good Predictor of Death and Poor Outcomes in Patients Admitted for COVID-19 Infection

Marta Sanchez-Marteles et al.

Summary: The study found that the changes in serum sST2 concentration in COVID-19 patients were closely related to patient prognosis, and a concentration above 58.9 ng/mL could predict whether patients would be admitted to the ICU or die. This suggests that early measurement of sST2 helps identify high-risk patients.
