Medical Reporting and Research
Published for General Public Reading
Minimal Requirement of being a verified major news outlet with a high unbiased rating on The Media Bias Chart and/or from reputable sources, such as research facilities and universities
Strong recommendation to not take action or make assumptions based upon research which may be dated, changing or part of ongoing research
Treatment Options
- 09 APR 2020 NEWSTwo potential COVID-19 treatments could be deadly when combined with metformin
- Two drugs which have been linked with treating coronavirus could be deadly when combined with metformin, researchers have said.
- Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ) are usually used to treat malaria and autoimmune diseases, and in America the Food and Drug Administration has authorised the two medications to be used in people in hospital with COVID-19.
- The drugs have also shown promising outcomes in helping to treat certain cancers, but recent studies have also found combining these medications with metformin, sold as Glucophage, could be fatal.
- A study which used mice to test the outcome of all three drugs, showed between 30% and 40% of the animals died.
- 08 APR 2020 Israeli COVID-19 treatment shows 100% survival rate - preliminary data
- 07 APR 2020 eidd2801_fda/index.htmlFDA: Human trials can begin for Emory COVID-19 antiviral

- 03 APR 2020 A small trial finds that hydroxychloroquine is not effective for treating coronavirus
- 25 MAR 2020 Sweden bucks global trend with experimental virus strategy
- 24 MAR 2020 Mount Sinai to Begin the Transfer of COVID-19 Antibodies into Critically Ill Patients - The Mount Sinai Health System this week plans to initiate a procedure known as plasmapheresis, where the antibodies from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 will be transferred into critically ill patients with the disease, with the expectation that the antibodies will neutralize it.
- 22 MAR 2020 WHO launches global megatrial of the four most promising coronavirus treatments
Viral Research
- 10 APR 2020 Brain, Nervous System Affected in 1 in 3 Cases of Severe COVID-19
- 27 MAR 2020 8 strains of the coronavirus are circling the globe. Here's what clues they're giving scientists.
- Conclusions: Our findings suggest that patients with a shorter incubation period went on to have more severe disease. Further studies are needed to investigate potential biological mechanisms for this association.
- 27 MAR 2020 How sick will the coronavirus make you? The answer may be in your genes
Vaccine Research
- 03 APR 2020 Doctor's Note: Can you catch coronavirus twice?
