COVID-19 may be linked to rare inflammatory disorder in young children

Study describes an increase in cases of a rare Kawasaki-like disease in children infected by coronavirus. The condition causes blood vessels to become inflamed and swollen, leading to fever, rashes, red eyes, cracked lips, swollen glands, and redness on the extremities. The condition is believed to be an abnormal immune overreaction to COVID-19 infection.

Cats can become infected with and may transmit COVID-19 to other cats

Study confirms cats can become infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus and pass the infection along to other cats. Cats shed the virus up to six days following infection via their nasal passages. Researchers urge cat owners to keep their pets indoors during the pandemic.

Tiny RNA that should attack coronavirus diminish with age and disease

MicroRNAs that should attack SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, diminish with age, and due to chronic health problems. The findings shed light on why those who are older, and those with health conditions are more susceptible to coronavirus.

Exploring why some COVID-19 patients lose their sense of smell

ACE2 and TMPRSS2, two proteins required for SARS-CoV-2 entry, are produced in cells in the nasal cavity that contribute to odor detection. The findings may explain why people with coronavirus often describe the loss of the sense of smell as a symptom of the virus.

New AI diagnostic can predict COVID-19 without testing

A new artificial intelligence algorithm can accurately predict whether a person is infected with coronavirus based on a range of symptoms a person experiences. Researchers say the technology will help identify those with COVID-19 in populations that are experiencing limited clinical testing.

Breathing and talking contribute to COVID-19 spread

Researchers say that to date, primary transmission methods of concern for coronavirus have been near field transmission via sneezing and coughing, and hand-to-face transportation of the virus after touching infected surfaces. They warn more attention needs to be paid to the inhalation of aerosols generated from breathing and talking.

Men’s blood contains greater concentrations of enzyme that helps COVID-19 infect cells

Men have higher concentrations of ACE2 in their blood than women. As ACE2 enables coronavirus to infect cells, the findings may explain why men are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection than women.
