Corona Virus Net is the web resource for anyone interested in Coronaviruses. Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and humans. Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing. Also avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.

A pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan, China was first reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019. The outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020 by the WHO. As of March 11th, the WHO declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, acknowledging that the virus will likely spread to all countries in the world.

The objectives of Corona Virus Net are to be the public and professional information resource for coronaviruses and to serve as a network in the exchange of information and news related to coronaviruses. What do you know about the novel Coronavirus that is causing a health emergency?

  Mon, 20 Sep 2021 21:44:10 -0400
  COVID-19 -- Worldwide/Unknown
  A lower dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine -- one-3rd the amount given to adults and teens -- is safe and triggered a robust immune response in children as young as 5 years old, the drug companies announced in a news release Monday morning.
  The finding, eagerly anticipated by many parents and pediatricians, is a crucial step toward the 2-shot coronavirus vaccine regimen becoming available for younger school-aged children, perhaps close to Halloween.

• Liner dissociation in total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review Wed, 30 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0500
  CONCLUSIONS: LD is a rare but catastrophic mechanical complication of modular THA that requires implant revision. The LD is not related to a specific prosthetic implant, liner material or design, acetabular positioning within the safe zone or age group.
• Does expert information affect citizens' attitudes toward corona policies? Evidence from Germany Wed, 30 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0500
  Information provided by experts is believed to play a key role in shaping attitudes towards policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper uses a survey experiment to assess whether providing citizens with expert information about the health risk of COVID-19 and the economic costs of lockdown measures affects their attitudes towards these policies. Our findings show that providing respondents with information about COVID-19 fatalities among the elderly raises support for lockdown...
• Investigation of respiratory tract coinfections in Coronavirus disease 2019 infected and suspected cases Wed, 30 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0500
  CONCLUSION: The risk of coinfection of COVID-19 with influenza A, RSV, parainfluenza, and rhino/entero virus was found to be higher than other viral agents. Especially in winter, the risk of coinfection with influenza A and COVID-19 increases. In terms of treatment management, coinfection should be investigated in risky patients and influenza a vaccine should be offered to risky groups.
• The metabolic role of prolactin: systematic review, meta-analysis and preclinical considerations Wed, 30 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0500
  INTRODUCTION: Hyperprolactinemia has been proven to induce hypogonadism and metabolic derangements in both genders, while the consequences of prolactin (PRL) deficiency have been poorly investigated.
• Differences in Human Plasma Protein Interactions Between Various Polymersomes and Stealth Liposomes as Observed by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy Wed, 30 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0500
  A significant factor hindering the clinical translation of polymersomes as vesicular nanocarriers is the limited availability of comparative studies detailing their interaction with blood plasma proteins compared to liposomes. Here, polymersomes were self-assembled via film rehydration, solvent exchange, and polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) using five different block copolymers. The hydrophilic blocks were composed of anti-fouling polymers, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or...
• Prevalence, pathophysiology, prediction and health-related quality of life of long COVID: study protocol of the longitudinal multiple cohort CORona Follow Up (CORFU) study Tue, 29 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0500
  INTRODUCTION: The variety, time patterns and long-term prognosis of persistent COVID-19 symptoms (long COVID-19) in patients who suffered from mild to severe acute COVID-19 are incompletely understood. Cohort studies will be combined to describe the prevalence of long COVID-19 symptoms, and to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms and impact on health-related quality of life. A prediction model for long COVID-19 will be developed and internally validated to guide care in future patients.

  Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, abbreviated as SARS-CoV-2, has been associated with the transmission of infectious COVID-19 disease through breathing and speech droplets emitted by infected carriers including asymptomatic cases. As part of SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic preparedness, we studied the transmission of aerosolized air mimicking the infected person releasing speech aerosol with droplets containing CorNPs using a vibrating mesh nebulizer as human patient simulator....
