Emerging Standards and the Hybrid Model for Organizing Scientific Events During and After The COVID-19 Pandemic
2020
AbstractSince the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically influenced almost every aspect of human life. Activities requiring human gatherings have either been postponed, canceled, or held completely virtually. To supplement lack of in-person contact, people have increasingly turned to virtual settings online, advantages of which include increased inclusivity and accessibility and a reduced carbon footprint. However, emerging online technologies cannot fully replace in-person scientific events. In-person meetings are not susceptible to poor Internet connectivity problems, and they provide novel opportunities for socialization, creating new collaboratio…
Flower lose, a cell fitness marker, predicts COVID‐19 prognosis
2021
Abstract Risk stratification of COVID‐19 patients is essential for pandemic management. Changes in the cell fitness marker, hFwe‐Lose, can precede the host immune response to infection, potentially making such a biomarker an earlier triage tool. Here, we evaluate whether hFwe‐Lose gene expression can outperform conventional methods in predicting outcomes (e.g., death and hospitalization) in COVID‐19 patients. We performed a post‐mortem examination of infected lung tissue in deceased COVID‐19 patients to determine hFwe‐Lose’s biological role in acute lung injury. We then performed an observational study (n = 283) to evaluate whether hFwe‐Lose expression (in nasopharyngeal samples) could accu…
