The rapid accelerated fibrosarcoma/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Raf/MEK/ERK) signaling pathway represents one of those targets for broad-spectrum antiviral drug development as it is exploited by many viruses during their replication cycle, e.g., coronaviruses, Ebola virus, hepatitis C virus, respiratory syncytial virus, yellow ...
SARS-CoV-2 is a newly discovered human coronavirus group (HCoV), which are single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family of Coronaviridae. A range of respiratory diseases have been induced by some of these pathogens in the past. ...
At the end of the year 2019, a cluster of severe pneumonia of unknown cause was described in Wuhan (Eastern China) and a SARS-like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was noted in these patients. Early in January 2020, sequencing revealed a novel coronavirus (now termed SARS-CoV-2) as the causal factor for the disease designated as COVID-19. ...

Summary The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic began in 2019 and rapidly scaled to a global presence of disease known as COVID-19. ...
While the world continues to endure loss and hardship due to the outbreak of COVID-19, caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), researchers are scrambling to provide test kits that are accurate, fast, sensitive, and widely available, especially as symptoms vary broadly and may not appear for days if at all. ...
Spring is fast approaching, and coronavirus restrictions are being lifted all over the northern hemisphere. Are we ready to loosen up protection? Is there hope the virus will die in summer? With time flying unnoticed, we are already into our third summer with coronavirus being part of our lives. As of today, almost 500 million people worldwide have been in contact with SARS-CoV-2. These, of ...
The combination of congenital heart disease (CHD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can present a difficult scenario to manage with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). ...
While showing similarities to beta coronaviruses found in bats, the specific coronavirus behind the COVID-19 pandemic is genetically different from other coronaviruses such as the previously known Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS) and Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS). ...
Previously, genetic recombination of SARS-CoV-2 has been reported in the Medrxiv entitled "Genome Recombinationbetween Delta and Alpha Variants of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)" published on October 11, 2021l, about the discovery of recombinant variants of Delta and Alpha in Japan (AY.29+B.1.1.7). ...
Cytokine storms can occur in a variety of diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), and influenza. ...
Abstract Messenger RNA (mRNA) based vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna) are highly effective at providing immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there is uncertainty about the duration of immunity, evolution of IgG antibody levels and IgG avidity (an index of antibody-antigen binding strength), and differences ...
Let’s start with why we believe that everyone needs to be diligent, even though there is a vaccine. Remember the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) was first discovered in Asia in February 2003. ...
The future and long-term effect of the global COVID-19 pandemic (caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2 virus]) on dermatology practice and skin health is still unknown, but here we provide some insights on the potential challenges for dermatology patients and practitioners. ...
Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome ...
Unfortunately, this is also where most all recent, large scale disease outbreaks have originated from: SARS-CoV - Cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, first emerged in 2002 in China MERS-CoV - The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus first emerged in Saudi Arabia in 2012 Avian influenza A(H7N9) began ...
After a lightning round of proposals and reviews, an international team of scientists led by Dr. Camillo Ricordi was granted immediate FDA authorization for a 24-patient clinical trial to test the safety and exploratory efficacy of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to block the life-threatening lung inflammation that accompanies severe cases of COVID-19. The therapy uses ...
It was also demonstrated that a number of additional viruses, such as Seneca Valley virus, feline calicivirus, bovine herpesvirus-1, porcine sapelovirus, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), could maintain infectivity in feed ingredients even after 37-day transport, emphasizing the importance to reduce the potential transmission of ...
Now identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome or SARS, this highly contagious condition is caused by a new coronavirus for which there is no specific antiviral treatment. ...
Examples of applications are given in the context of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), an inflammatory disease of the lung triggered by a massive arrest of white blood cells in the lung microvasculature. ...
Time series statistical methods are used to study the financial impact of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic via the co-integration (interdependence) of time series of indexes of several Asian stock markets. ...
