Incorporating the number of COVID-19 infections in the past year showed improved prediction performance and should be considered in future models for kidney disease prediction.

[...] In our study, we emulated a prospective cohort design with a recruitment start date of 07/01/2022 and a follow-up end date of 03/31/2024, which defined the cohort follow-up period (Fig. 2b). The first hospital visit (either inpatient or outpatient) after the study start date was defined as the index date for each patient. We defined two prediction windows starting the index date: 1 month and 1 year. During each prediction window, we assessed two separate kidney outcomes: (1) AKI, identified by International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code N17, and (2) chronic kidney disease (CKD), identified by ICD-10-CM code N18.

#SarsCoV2 In dit bericht presenteren we weer de mogelijke gevolgen van herhaalde COVID-infecties door een nog verder gedetailleerd verloop van het aantal personen met een arbeidsongeschiktheidsuitkering in Nederland. Het effect van het groeiende aantal personen met ernstige #LongCovid is onmiskenbaar!

New cell entry mechanism:

CD63 as a conserved T-cell host factor supporting ACE2-independent SARS-CoV-2 entry

And also:

In clinical samples, plasma GDF15 associates with mortality, SOFA scores, and lower lymphocyte counts

I didn't realize until I checked scheduling for my latest COVID vaccine that the recommendation had been reduced from 4 to 2 months between vaccinations for people over 65 here in the U.S.

Anyway, number 12 done this morning.

Herzig, Magwira & Lovell investigate protein structural constraint in SARS-CoV-2 evolution, suggesting that despite its rapid rate of mutation, the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein exhibited limited genomic plasticity following zoonotic transmission into the human population.
