Authors: Medical News Today Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) can cause a variety of symptoms, including fever, headaches, and nausea. The symptoms can become severe quickly. CRS occurs when the immune system responds too aggressively to an infection. It can also happen as a result of some types of immunotherapy. Treatments for CRS typically involve reducing the […]
Full-text and metadata dataset of COVID-19 and coronavirus-related scholarly articles optimized for machine readability and made available for use by the global research community. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Allen Institute for AI has partnered with leading research groups to prepare and distribute the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19). This dataset is a free resource […]

The clinical manifestation of COVID-19 widely varies from asymptomatic infection to severe pneumonia […]
Authors: Amanda Zrebiec With software and molecular biology approaches developed in part at APL, researchers at John’s Hopkins are using handheld DNA sequencers to conduct immediate on-site genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19. “This information allows for the tracking of the evolution of the virus. It gives clinicians a sense of where the […]
Authors: Kelly Servick The true prevalence of cognitive problems in COVID-19 survivors is elusive, and the underlying causes of lingering symptoms are the subject of ongoing studies. But it’s now clear that trouble thinking, concentrating, and remembering can be among the most debilitating “long-haul” symptoms and can persist for months. As more and more people seek […]
Authors: Michael Marshall How COVID-19 damages the brain is becoming clearer. New evidence suggests that the coronavirus’s assault on the brain could be multipronged: it might attack certain brain cells directly, reduce blood flow to brain tissue or trigger production of immune molecules that can harm brain cells. Infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 can cause […]
Authors: Anna Nordvig, MD, a neurologist and postdoctoral clinical and research fellow at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons How common is it for COVID-19 patients to experience persistent neurological symptoms? There are few more pressing questions that neurologists and psychiatrists worldwide must answer, but it may not be easy. COVID-19 manifests with […]
Authors: Dr. Francis Collins While primarily a respiratory disease, COVID-19 can also lead to neurological problems. The first of these symptoms might be the loss of smell and taste, while some people also may later battle headaches, debilitating fatigue, and trouble thinking clearly, sometimes referred to as “brain fog.” All of these symptoms have researchers […]

Authors: Alan Mozes HealthDay Reporter One of the least understood effects of COVID-19 infection is “brain fog,” a kind of mental confusion that can take hold among seriously ill patients, sometimes lingering long after recovery. Now, a new study has spotted a possible neurological clue in the form of highly unusual cell clusters in the […]
