Sars-CoV-2 Resources

SARS-CoV-2 Resources the pandemic never ended ✱ it's never too late to start caring

Covid (SARS-Cov-2) is short for severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2. The virus is airborne and neuroinvasive. It causes vascular
disease and dysregulates immune systems. The pandemic is not over, the
virus never became milder, and the government has continually lied about
the threat. Because the virus is being allowed to spread freely, more
dangerous variants are constantly emerging. We are all in serious danger.

Covid Compilations Duplicated

Laurie Library

My Covid Compilations Duplicated from Twitter

I used my now-retired Twitter account from 2020 to late 2023 to compile and organize studies, articles, and expert discussions pertinent to Covid-19.  All compilations and links to other Covid and Long Covid resources are duplicated as an archive and ongoing Covid resource.  (I quietly add new studies, articles, discussions, and videos to my files every week, but no longer update the original threads on Twitter.)

Just call me your pandemic librarian.

15+ Care Plan Templates- PDF | Google Docs | MS Word | Pages | Samples, Examples

One important means of communicating and managing every activity and action of an ever-changing nursing workforce is a realistic and timely care plan. In attending to each patient’s needs, the medical staff needs an updated care plan that will be passed on to the nursing staff during the rotation of every shift and nursing round. Care plan templates can also help medical instructors in teaching documentation practices to medical students and interns.

RNA-Seq analysis of human heart tissue reveals SARS-CoV-2 infection and inappropriate activation of the TNF-NF-κB pathway in cardiomyocytes

The negative impact of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection on cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients is well established. This research article explores the cellular pathways involved in underlying heart diseases after infection. The systemic inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection likely exacerbates this increased cardiovascular risk; however, whether the virus directly infects cardiomyocytes remains unknown due to limited multi-omics data. While public transcriptome data exists for COVID-19 infection in different cell types (including cardiomyocytes), infection times vary between studies. We used available RNA-seq data from human heart tissue to delineate SARS-CoV-2 infection and heart failure aetiology specific gene expression signatures. A total of fifty-four samples from four studies were analysed. Our aim was to investigate specific transcriptome changes occurring in cardiac tissue with SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to non-infected controls. Our data establish that SARS-CoV-2 infects cardiomyocytes by the TNF-NF-κB pathway, potentially triggering acute cardiovascular complications and increasing the long-term cardiovascular risk in COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 Longer-term symptoms

COVID-19: Longer-term symptoms among Canadian adults :

Factors associated with limitations in daily activities among adults in Canada with post COVID-19 condition, January 2020 to August 2022

Last updated: 2024-08-21

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by an infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has had a substantial impact on the health and well-being of Canadians. In addition to symptoms experienced during the acute phase of infection, some people continue to experience persistent, recurring, or new symptoms. These longer-term, wide-ranging symptoms, which can negatively impact daily activities, work and school, are commonly known as “post COVID-19 condition” (PCC) or “long COVID” when not resolved within three months of infection.

Long COVID and recovery from Long COVID: quality of life impairments and subjective cognitive decline at a median of 2 years after initial infection

Published November 05, 2024

Recovery from SARS CoV-2 infection is expected within 3 months. Long COVID occurs after SARS-CoV-2 when symptoms are present for more than 3 months that are continuous, relapsing and remitting, or progressive. Better understanding of Long COVID illness trajectories could strengthen patient care and support.

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada COVID-19 and IBD task force guidance statements

(Updated March 14, 2023)

Note from the COVID-19 and IBD Task Force:

The Crohn’s and Colitis Canada COVID-19 and IBD Task Force was formed in March 2020 when the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic was declared. The purpose of the Task Force was to:

  • Assess the impact of COVID-19 on people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),
  • Interpret the rapidly evolving evidence of risk, vaccination and treatment of COVID-19 in people with IBD, and 
  • Provide the IBD community with educational resources and guidance.
