NIH COVID-19 Lecture: COVID-19 Autopsy Findings: A Joint Effort Between NYU Winthrop Hospital and NCI — What Have We Learned So Far
NIH COVID-19 Lecture Series
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 disease, caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, many studies focusing on clinical course, outcome, clinical parameters, prognostic markers, treatment strategies have been published. Although most patients experience mild symptoms, some have serious complications — including diffuse alveolar damage, hemodynamic shock, acute kidney failure, cardiac injury, and arrhythmia — that contribute to the high mortality rate. Autopsies can offer a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. Unfortunately few autopsies were performed early in the pandemic because of th...

COVID-19 Lecture: High Seroprevalence, Drastic Decline of Incidence and Low Infection Fatality Rate of SARS-CoV-2 Infections in Children and Adults in the Ski Resort Ischgl, Austria
NIH COVID-19 Scientific Interest Group
In early March 2020, a SARS-CoV-2 outbreak at a ski resort in Ischgl, Austria, initiated the spread of SARS-CoV-2 throughout Austria and Northern Europe.

Between April 21 and 27, a cross-sectional epidemiologic study targeting the full population of Ischgl (n= app. 1,867), of which 79 percent could be included ...

AI in the Age of COVID-19: Computational Tools for the Classification, Prediction, and Characterization of a Pandemic
Traditional methods of epidemic modeling continue to be used fruitfully for characterizing outbreaks and predicting the spread of disease in populations. However, these methods, typically relying on what are known as “ compartment models ” , require assumptions that are not necessarily sensitive to the ever-changing environmental, behavioral, temporospatial, and social phenomena that influence disease spread. However, compartment models can be enriched by the judicious use of robust methods drawn from the field of artificial intelligence that allow us to model more accurately and more quickly the population and disease...
