    Click to download the PDF. Oura's primary goal is to help UCSF engage and increase the number of users who have rings and are opting in to early detection efforts. Oura is offering rings at $250 for orders of 1000 rings supporting TemPredict. Immediate impact: Participants are presented every morning with daily personalized insights on heart rate, HRv, respiration, temperature, sleep staging, and activity to empower them to monitor their own health and change their behavior accordingly. This is especially important in medical personnel and high-risk patients. Future impact: UCSF will leverage Oura's backend data to build models that can aid in identifying symptom profiles, pinpointing at risk populations, predicting severity, and validating recovery, containment, and treatment efforts. The data gathered now may be our only chance to measure these changes so we can recognize them and deploy predictive algorithms to minimize the next wave of this outbreak, expected in Fall 2020. We ask all donors to go to OuraRing.com and buy rings for medical personnel so they can join this effort.

A serological assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in humans | medRxiv - 0 views

  • While molecular assays to directly detect the viral genetic material are available for the diagnosis of acute infection, we currently lack serological assays suitable to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
  • Methods: Here we describe serological enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) that we developed using recombinant antigens derived from the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.
  • Conclusion: Serological assays are of critical importance to determine seroprevalence in a given population, define previous exposure and identify highly reactive human donors for the generation of convalescent serum as therapeutic.

    Recommended by DeAunne Denmark, MD, PhD: This study is under peer review. Published via the medRxiv preprint server for health sciences.

Genes, Blood Type Tied to Risk of Severe COVID-19 - NIH Director's Blog - 0 views

  • Many people who contract COVID-19 have only a mild illness, or sometimes no symptoms at all. But others develop respiratory failure that requires oxygen support or even a ventilator to help them recover [1]. It’s clear that this happens more often in men than in women, as well as in people who are older or who have chronic health conditions. But why does respiratory failure also sometimes occur in people who are young and seemingly healthy? A new study suggests that part of the answer to this question may be found in the genes that each one of us carries [2]. While more research is needed to pinpoint the precise underlying genes and mechanisms responsible, a recent genome-wide association (GWAS) study, just published in the New England Journal of Medicine, finds that gene variants in two regions of the human genome are associated with severe COVID-19 and correspondingly carry a greater risk of COVID-19-related death.
  • the findings suggest that people with blood type A face a 50 percent greater risk of needing oxygen support or a ventilator should they become infected with the novel coronavirus.
  • Their study included 1,980 people undergoing treatment for severe COVID-19 and respiratory failure at seven medical centers in Italy and Spain.

  • the researchers compared SNPs in people with severe COVID-19 to those in more than 1,200 healthy blood donors from the same population groups.
  • he researchers did find evidence suggesting a relationship between blood type and COVID-19 risk. They noted that this area also includes a genetic variant associated with increased levels of interleukin-6, which plays a role in inflammation and may have implications for COVID-19 as well.
