Tools for Rapid Analysis of Blood Usage and Inventory During the COVID-19 Pandemic
- Authors
- Colin MurphyBryon P. JacksonMagali Fontaine
- Description
The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected blood collection activities due to social distancing requirements, deferral of blood drives, and other measures to prevent spread of infection. Medical facilities also experienced changes in blood usage patterns with the cancellation of elective surgeries. To evaluate fluctuating blood inventory levels, the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) built an...

Mobile device data reveal the dynamics in a positive relationship between human mobility and COVID-19 infections
- Authors
- Chenfeng XiongSonghua HuMofeng YangWeiyu Luo1 more author(s)...
- Description
This study uses a computing platform to analyze and estimate the correlation between human mobility and COVID-19 spreading. The infection data are collected from various county, state and national sources and mobile device location data are procured from multiple third-party data providers. To capture the time-varying relationship between the number of infection and mobility inflow, the authors developed...

- Description
This observational retrospective control study investigated the development of the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 in convalescent plasma (CCP) recipients (n=34) and compared it to the humoral response in a group of patients not treated with CCP (n=68). Additionally, a separate comparison of clinical outcomes was performed between CCP recipients and a matched control group of untreated patients...

- Description
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic among 846 healthcare workers (HCWs) in central Ethiopia. From June 25, 2020, to July 25, 2020, an online survey was administered to collect self-reported data using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Data were...

- Description
An adapted version of the Brighton Collaboration priority list was used to evaluate serious adverse events (SAE) of special interest observed in mRNA Covid-19 vaccine trials. In December of 2020, reviewers searched journal publications and trial data on the FDA’s and Health Canada’s websites to locate SAE results tables for these trials. For each trial, blinded SAE tables were prepared. Using these...

- Description
An age-stratified agent-based model of COVID-19 was used to simulate outbreaks in states within two U. S. regions. The northeastern region consisted of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. The southern region consisted of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,...

- Authors
- Ester Villalonga-OlivesIchiro KawachiIldefonso Hernández-Aguado
- Description
This dataset was created to understand the mechanisms through which social capital shaped the community response to the coronavirus pandemic on the island of Menorca, Spain. Data was collected through qualitative interviews of 25 permanent residents of the island between April and June of 2020. The age range of the participants was between 26 to 89 years old. The semi-structured interview guide had...

- Description
This study investigates multiple vaccine strategies to enhance immunogenicity and protection against SARS-CoV-2 in aged mice. The study aims to determine the effect of a booster dose, with an emphasis on older age. Female three and eleven-month-old BALB/c mice were studied over the course of 38 weeks. Mice received BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine series, primary vaccination series, and mock...

- Description
Due to constraints in vaccine supply, this agent-based model of COVID-19 transmission was developed to compare the impact of two vaccination strategies: 1) vaccinate more individuals with the first dose of available vaccines and delay the second dose or 2) to continue with the recommended 2-dose series as tested in clinical trials. Model population was stratified into 6 age groups of 0 to 4, 5 to 19,...
