Question 8: Why did the U.S. ignore the research results regarding the origin of the novel coronavirus? In March this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a report on the global tracing of COVID-19 origins,following a joint research with China, which clearly stated that the ...
novel research tools likestem cell–derived cardiovascular cellswill be used to model how SARS-CoV-2 infection causes cardiac damage. Researchers have begun to infect these lab-grown cells to understand the precise mechanisms of heart cell injury. ...
where researchers representing all WHO regions were able to rank research questions, and identify new ones that need to be tackled within their health care setting and communities, mitigating this and future pandemics.
Research on COVID-19 and its virus has evolved rapidly in the span of months. As information changes, we’ll continue to add answers from scientists and public health experts we interview. Check back! Questions Basics How long does the virus live in an infected patient? Do asymptomatic people...
We address the following research questions: Can the future number of ICU patients be predicted from the number of reported infections? And how does the growth rate influence the time when ICU capacity is expected to be overburdened? In our main analysis, we apply the model to public data ...
Despite quickly developing research on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), investigators still do not know why some patients develop respiratory failure whereas others have minimal symptoms, and questions still remain about the beset treatment options. A new editorial published in JAMA Internal Med...
“We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.” And although it’s true that analyses of the genomic sequence of the virus subsequently pointed to natural origins, the questions regarding China’s role persisted, led by pesky...
2. The recent results of the HIV vaccine trial HVTN 702 showed that the vaccine was ineffective in preventing HIV infection and so has been discontinued. How has the recent Covid-19 pandemic impacted research into the development and testing of new and existing vaccine candidates for treating HI...
that estimates excess deaths and hospitalizations during the ongoing global health crisis, although other aspects remain significantly under-investigated. The effect of the pandemic on headache incidence at the world level and in particular countries is one of these outstanding research questions. ...
In the introduction, we stated some research questions, which now can be precisely and clearly answered. “Did people realize and sense noise differences during the first covid-19 pandemic lockdown?”. It can be surely answer that yes, people do realize that noise was different during the pan...
