Latest Coronavirus Disease COVID 19 News and Research
Criticisms of COVID-19 models appear to undermine public trust in science
Criticisms of COVID-19 models by Democratic elites in May 2020 appeared to undermine public support for the models' use - and trust in science more broadly - according to a series of survey experiments conducted with the participation of more than 6,000 Americans.
Masks and face coverings are effective in reducing the spread of airborne particles
Laboratory tests of surgical and N95 masks by researchers at the University of California, Davis, show that they do cut down the amount of aerosolized particles emitted during breathing, talking and coughing.
Combination of heat and high relative humidity can disinfect N95 mask materials
As the COVID-19 pandemic swept around the world early this year, shortages of protective equipment such as N95 masks left healthcare workers little choice but to reuse the masks they had - increasing the risk of infection for both them and their patients.
Mask-wearing, handwashing, and social distancing protect against COVID-19, confirms study
A contact tracing study presented at this year's ESCMID Conference on Coronavirus Disease (ECCVID) confirms the effectiveness of wearing of masks in public, handwashing, and social distancing to protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Addressing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on global mental health
In a special session addressing global mental health before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic held at the ESCMID Conference on Coronavirus Disease (ECCVID) Professor Vikram Patel H(arvard Medical School, USA) will present a new review of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global mental health.
Shorter time from COVID-19 symptom onset to hospitalization linked to disease severity, death
New research presented at this week's ESCMID Conference on Coronavirus Disease (ECCVID, held online) shows that a shorter time from symptom onset to hospitalization is associated with more serious disease and death in patients with COVID-19.
SARS-CoV-2 emergence linked with decrease in circulation of common respiratory viruses
Analysis of samples taken to test for respiratory viruses over the past five years suggests that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 was associated with a large drop in circulation of other common respiratory viruses during the first wave.
Ultrapotent antibody mix locks infection machinery, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 attachment to cells
A mix of ultrapotent antibodies from recovered COVID-19 patients has been shown to recognize and lock down the infection machinery of the pandemic coronavirus and keep it from entering cells. Each of the antibody types performs these overlapping tasks slightly differently.
People with musculoskeletal pain report worsening symptoms during lockdown
People with bone, joint and muscle pain saw their symptoms worsen during lockdown - according to new research from the University of East Anglia.
New diagnostic tool may allow on-the-spot detection of coronavirus infection
Scientists at the University of Warwick have demonstrated that a potential diagnostic tool for detecting Covid-19 using sugars will work with a virus rather than just its proteins, a significant step in making it a viable test in future.
ZwickRoell Supports Testing of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Primary Packaging for COVID-19 Vaccines
COVID-19 has a big impact on our daily lives and has changed the landscape of the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
Melt Flow Testing Supports the Fight Against Covid-19
ZwickRoell is proud to support the production of PPE through easy-to-use and reliable testing instruments.
ZwickRoell’s zwickiLine Testing System Validated for Cleanroom Use
The importance of cleanrooms is currently in the spotlight as the global community awaits a vaccine for Covid-19.
D614G mutation now the dominant variant in the global COVID-19 pandemic
Now, a new study published on the preprint server medRxiv in September 2020 shows that a significant variant characterized by the D614G mutation has higher infectivity, which may account for its rapid rise to the dominant position in all regions where it has emerged.
Study: Carriers of genetic mutations have greater risk of illness and death from COVID-19
Tel Aviv University researchers suggest that carriers of the genetic mutations PiZ and PiS are at high risk for severe illness and even death from COVID-19. These mutations lead to deficiency in the alpha1-antitrypsin protein, which protects lung tissues from damage in case of severe infections.
About 10% patients with severe disease create auto-antibodies that attack the immune system
People infected by the novel coronavirus can have symptoms that range from mild to deadly. Now, two new analyses suggest that some life-threatening cases can be traced to weak spots in patients' immune systems.
Inflammation in the eye after COVID-19
A new study published on the preprint server medRxiv shows the occurrence of ocular pathology in the period of recovery following COVID-19. This throws more light on the occurrence of inflammation in people recovering from COVID-19.
BIOCAD to produce liquid vaccine for COVID-19 treatment
Clinical trials of the vaccine are currently underway. The «Sputnik V» is the two-component vaccine. Revaccination is carried out at intervals of 3-4 weeks. Moreover, with the repeated introduction of a particle of coronavirus RNA, it is covered with a new adenovirus.
Berlin researchers are pursuing the development of passive vaccination
Researchers at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin have identified highly effective antibodies against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and are now pursuing the development of a passive vaccination.
Human-to-cat transmission of SARS-CoV-2 confirmed
Cat-to-cat transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has been experimentally proven, but little is known about the significance of this novel virus as a feline pathogen or its reverse zoonotic potential. The establishment of new animal reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 could pose serious problems for human health in the future.
