In this study the authors identified breakthrough infections by performing extensive evaluations of health care workers who were symptomatic (including mild symptoms) or had known infection exposure.

This study randomly assigned participants who were enrolled within 96 hours after a household contact received a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection to receive a total dose of 1200mg of REGEN-COV or matching placebo administered by means of subcutaneous injection.

In this article the authors hypothesized that therapeutic-dose anticoagulation may improve outcomes in noncritically ill patients who are hospitalized with COVID-19.

In this open-label, adaptive, multiplatform, randomized clinical trial, critically ill COVID-19 patients were randomly assigned to a regimen of either therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin or pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis in accordance with local usual care.

In this trial, the authors assigned COVID-19 patients to receive either one unit of convalescent plasma with a high titer of antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or a placebo.

How would you describe the mission of the RRFS if you were explaining it to a member of the public? The Resident and Research Fellow Section is the young section of the European Academy of Neurology. The major aim is… Continue Reading
