Our Diets Are Changing Because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Is It for the Better?
The coronavirus pandemic has changed a lot about modern American life: how we work, socialize, and even how we eat. Dining out is a distant memory. But nutritionally, people weren’t exactly thriving in pre-pandemic America. “Before COVID-19 came along, it was increasingly clear that the diet quality and nutritional status of Americans was terrible,” says Dr. Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. More than 40% of U.S. adults are obese. After years of declines, heart disease death rates are on the rise again. So are rates of obesity-linked canc...

Symptomatic hyponatremia after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 coronavirus disease-19 vaccination
We present the first report of symptomatic hyponatremia, a potentially life-threatening condition, after administration of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 coronavirus disease-19 vaccine. A 24-year-old man developed altered consciousness and high-grade fever a day after receiving this vaccine. Computed tomography of the brain showed diffuse brain swelling with bilateral descending transtentorial brain herniation. His serum sodium level, urine sodium level, and urine osmolarity were 114 mEq/L, 77 mEq/L, and 230 mOsm/kg, respectively. He was diagnosed with symptomatic hyponatremia due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone. Hi...

Safety alert for hospital environments and health professional: chlorhexidine is ineffective for coronavirus
The objective of this study is to compare the different disinfectants used for disinfection on several surfaces, in a review of worldwide works. Scientific studies were researched in the BVS (Virtual Health Library), PubMed, Medline, and ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency) databases. The following agents were studied: alcohol 62-71%, hydrogen peroxide 0.5%, sodium hypochlorite 0.1%, benzalkonium chloride 0.05-0.2%, povidone-iodine 10%, and chlorhexidine digluconate 0.02%, on metal, aluminum, wood, paper, glass, plastic, PVC, silicone, latex (gloves), disposable gowns, ceramic, and Teflon surfaces. Studies have sho...

Prevalence and Impact of Hyponatremia in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 in New York City
Objectives: Hyponatremia occurs in up to 30% of patients with pneumonia and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of hyponatremia associated with coronavirus disease 2019 and the impact on outcome is unknown. We aimed to identify the prevalence, predictors, and impact on outcome of mild, moderate, and severe admission hyponatremia compared with normonatremia among coronavirus disease 2019 patients. Design: Retrospective, multicenter, observational cohort study. Setting: Four New York City hospitals that are part of the same health network. Patients: Hospitalized, labo...

Successful treatment of 28 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 at a medical center in Taiwan.
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 patients with older age, higher BMI, fever, chills or shortness of breath, lower serum sodium level, lower platelet or lymphocyte count, and higher CRP level may be associated with developing pneumonia or longer quarantine duration. PMID: 32773262 [PubMed - in process]

Disinfection technology of hospital wastes and wastewater: Suggestions for disinfection strategy during coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in China.
In this study, technologies of different types of hospital wastes and wastewater disinfection have been summarized. Liquid chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, ozone, and ultraviolet irradiation disinfection are commonly used for hospital wastewater disinfection. While incineration, chemical disinfection, and physical disinfection are commonly used for hospital wastes disinfection. In addition, considering the characteristics of various hospital wastes, the classification and selection of corresponding disinfection technologies are discussed. On this basis, this study provides scientific suggestions for managem...

Hypertension, health inequities, and implications for COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has led many people to forego follow-up and treatment of chronic health conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure). It is now quite evident that people with hypertension are also more likely to develop severe complications from the coronavirus. In the US, African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities, including Hispanics and Native Americans, are more likely to have hypertension, and consequently have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. What is the link between high blood pressure and heart disease? Hypertension is the most common modifiable risk factor for...

Antiviral activity against Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus by Montelukast, an anti-asthma drug.
Abstract Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is a respiratory disease caused by a coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Since its emergence in 2012, nosocomial amplifications have led to its high epidemic potential and mortality rate of 34.5 %. To date, there is an unmet need for vaccines and specific therapeutics for this disease. Available treatments are either supportive medications in use for other diseases or those lacking specificity requiring higher doses. The viral infection mode is initiated by the attachment of the viral Spike glycoprotein to the human Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP4). Our attempts to screen antivir...

Perspectives of Antidiabetic Drugs in Diabetes With Coronavirus Infections
Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of viral infections especially during the period of poor glycemic controls. Emerging evidence has reported that DM is one of the most common comorbidities in the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) infection, also referred to as COVID-19. Moreover, the management and therapy are complex for individuals with diabetes who are acutely unwell with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Here, we review the role of antidiabetic agents, mainly including insulin, metformin, pioglitazone, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2...
