The groundbreaking way to search lungs for signs of Covid-19
7 May, 2020When Covid-19 was at its height in China, doctors in the city of Wuhan were able to use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to scan the lungs of thousands of patients
The algorithm in question, developed by Axial AI, analyses CT imagery in seconds. It declares, for example, whether a patient has a high risk of viral pneumonia from coronavirus or not. A consortium of firms developed the AI in response to the coronavirus outbreak. They say it can show whether a patient's lung... -
COVID‐19: Impact on Colorectal Surgery
7 May, 2020AbstractThe rapid spread of the COVID‐19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges for the medical and surgical healthcare systems. With the ongoing need for urgent and emergency colorectal surgery including colorectal cancer surgeries, several questions pertaining to the operating room (OR) utilization and techniques needed to be rapidly addressed. Although patient safety is of paramount importance, caregiver safety is also a critical consideration. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, additional p... -
Skin protection for health care workers during COVID-19 epidemic must not be ignored
7 May, 2020Abstract
Since first reported in 2019, pneumonia associated with 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) has rapidly developed into an outbreak across the world. Number of the patients of all age groups has increased significantly. In order to curb the spread of the epidemic, thousands of health care workers (HCWs) have joined the front line of the fight against this highly contagious disease. When taking care of patients with COVID‐19 pneumonia, HCWs must first protect themselves by per... -
The immune system of children: the key to understanding SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility?
7 May, 2020Adults can be infected with different outcomes, from asymptomatic, mild, moderate to severe disease, and death. Children can also be infected by SARS-CoV-2, but most paediatric cases with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection are mild; severe COVID-19 disease in children is rare.Children are more vulnerable to other infections; thus, the important question arises—why are children less susceptible to COVID-19 disease compared with adults? So far, there is no evidence of a lower degree of e... -
China is promoting coronavirus treatments based on unproven traditional medicines
7 May, 2020Scientists say rigorous trial data are needed to show that remedies are safe and effective
The Chinese government is heavily promoting traditional medicines as treatments for COVID-19. The remedies, a major part of China’s health-care system, are even being sent to countries including Iran and Italy as international aid. But scientists outside China say it is dangerous to support therapies that have yet to be proved safe and effective.
There are currently no proven t... -
Rapid development of an inactivated vaccine candidate for SARS-CoV-2
7 May, 2020The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in an unprecedented public health crisis. There are currently no SARS-CoV-2-specific treatments or vaccines available due to the novelty of the virus. Hence, rapid development of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are urgently needed. Here we developed a pilot-scale production of a purified inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus vaccine candidate (PiCoVacc), which indu... -
Coronavirus Product Design and 3D Printing Challenge (open source designs)
6 May, 2020
With the outbreak of Coronavirus; testing, social distancing, and handwashing have helped prevent the spread of this disease. One area responsible for the further spread is frequently touched surfaces in offices, stores, and workplace areas (i.e. door handles).
We believe the Cad Crowd community can help prevent the spread by creating open-source product designs for public spaces.
The contest involves creating products that will be shared under a publicly downloadable open s...
