Since last December 2019, a syndrome of severe pneumonia associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is highly contagious and rapidly spread to many other parts of China and almost all countries all over the world, representing one of the most

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) consists mainly of a respiratory infection that spans from a mild involvement of the upper respiratory tract to severe pneumonia leading to respiratory distress, shock, and death. Fever, cough, and dyspnea/tachypnea, together with myalgia and fatigue, have been

Since its emergence as severe outbreak in China in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread so rapidly in the world that more than 780,000 cases have so far been reported worldwide and since then the WHO has declared it as a pandemic. The rapid spread of the disease is imposing

A Study of Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a treatment in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome caused by COVID-19 is a pilot phase, open label, non-randomized study, with a single study center. The current pandemic caused by the novel virus SARS-CoV-2 has lead to a health care crisis

INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is a new rapidly spreading infectious disease with no proven treatment options. The virus causes a spectrum of disease ranging from mild coryzal symptoms to severe respiratory compromise requiring

The hypothesis of the proposed intervention is that GM-CSF has profound effects on antiviral immunity, can provide the stimulus to restore immune homeostasis in the lung with acute lung injury post COVID-19, and can promote lung repair mechanisms, which would lead to an improvement in lung

BACKGROUND Since the first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its subsequent clinical manifestation (COronaVIrus Disease 19, COVID-19) in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December 2019, contagion abruptly spread to different regions of China

Consecutive patients hospitalized between March 12, 2020 through March 27, 2020 are eligible for inclusion if they were 18 years of age or older, had confirmed COVID-19 infection, with radiographic evidence of bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, and required oxygen by nasal cannula, high-flow nasal

1. COVID-19 has a high infection rate and mortality, and serious complications such as heart injury cannot be ignored. At present, the scale and harm of COVID 19 (Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has far surpassed that of SARS in 2003, with more than 80,000 cases confirmed in China and 3,119 deaths

Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease as an international alarm public health emergency. This ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 disease is devastating, despite widespread implementation of control measures, which is creating a challenge for

Randomized clinical trial comparing convalescent plasma to best available therapy (BAT) for the treatment of severely ill and critically ill patient with COVID-19: Patients will be electronically randomized 2:1 (plasma vs BAT) in a double blind fashion. Patients with SARS-CoV-2 PCR confirmed

Selected Drugs Ivermectin has anti-parasitic effect along with anti-viral activity against a broad range of viruses in vitro. Ivermectin was identified as an inhibitor of interaction between the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) integrase protein (IN) and the importin (IMP) α/β1 heterodimer

Selected Drugs Hydroxychloroquine (an analog of chloroquine) has been demonstrated to have an anti-SARS-CoV activity in vitro. Hydroxychloroquine clinical safety profile is better than that of chloroquine (during long-term use) and allows higher daily dose and has fewer concerns about drug-drug

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has developed into a pandemic with serious global public health and economic sequelae. As of March 30, 2020, over 750,000 cases have been confirmed worldwide leading to over 34,000

Novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was first identified during the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019 with the now resulting pandemic. Aggressive supportive care is the mainstay of treatment currently and rescue with lung protective mechanical ventilation is essential for survival in patients with
