Will COVID-19 Get Worse in the Winter?

BY ELIZABETH HANES, BSN, RN OCTOBER 19, 2020 As you stock up your medicine cabinet for the traditional winter “cold and flu season,” you may find yourself wondering if COVID-19 will get worse this winter, too. Probably, yes. As I keep saying, there’s a lot we don’t know about how this virus behaves. But we do know a combination of factors — including human behavior — could lead to a spike of COVID-19 cases throughout the winter months. First, thanks to cold weather, people will get pushed indoors. We know the virus spreads more easily indoors than outdoors, where wind can disperse and blow away the viral particles. So if people decide to beat “quarantine fatigue” by engaging in more indoor activities — like entertaining friends at home or dining out or gathering for the holidays — then we could see a surge of COVID-19 cases. Second, the onset of cold and flu season means more people will ...

New Antiviral COVID-19 Treatment to Be Used as Nasal Spray Could Be Made Available Over the Counter

By HospiMedica International staff writers Posted on 08 Sep 2020 An antiviral treatment to be used as a topical nasal spray as prophylaxis against COVID-19 promises to be easy to use, low-cost and quickly made available over-the-counter for consumers. The Nomovid Nasal Spray developed by Parnell Pharmaceuticals (San Rafael, CA, USA) is based upon a substance licensed by the company from New Mexico Tech University to treat drug-resistant bacteria and fungi such as MRSA and Candida auris. Since it breaks down lipids in the viral envelope, Parnell tested it against the novel coronavirus. “An independent, outside laboratory has confirmed our findings and found it to be greater than 99.9% effective in vitro against the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” said Dr. Francis Parnell, Chairman and CEO of Parnell Pharmaceuticals. “Our product is based upon existing FDA approvals of the active ingredients for use in intravenous and inhalation formulations for other indications. Since the ...

Fasenra Granted US Orphan Drug Designation for Eosinophilic Oesophagitis

AstraZeneca today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to Fasenra (benralizumab) for the treatment of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE). EoE is a rare, chronic, inflammatory disease that occurs when eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, accumulate in the oesophagus causing injury and inflammation. The FDA grants ODD status to medicines and potential new medicines intended for the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases or disorders that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the US. About Fasenra Fasenra (benralizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that binds directly to the IL-5 receptor alpha on eosinophils and attracts natural killer cells to induce rapid and near-complete depletion of eosinophils via apoptosis (programmed cell death). Fasenra is AstraZeneca’s first respiratory biologic, now approved as an add-on maintenance treatment in severe eosinophilic asthma in the US, EU, Japan and other countries, with further regulatory reviews ongoing. In June 2019, the European Medicines ...

GW Pharma Plans Epidiolex Launch, Making It Stand Out Among Other Cannabis Products

GW Pharmaceutical’s Epidiolex, the cannabidiol CBD that received a green light from the FDA for management of rare variants of epilepsy, is determined to change physicians’ perspectives about it and make it stand out from the oils available at cannabis stores and hence, recruited around 66 sales executives related to neurology dedicated to persuading 5,000 specialists who treat epilepsy in the U.S. “We’re the leader in this area, we’re science-based, and we believe physicians and patients will desire medicines that have gone through the FDA review process. When a drug is prescribed that’s FDA approved, you know it’s exactly the same every time it’s prescribed and every time it’s taken,” said Stephen Schultz, VP of investor relations at GW. In addition to the approval, GW was also granted with the change of class for Epidiolex from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule V which labels it under drugs that ...

Fluoroscopy and Natural Color Vision brought together to create Surgical Microscope by Leica.

Vascular neurosurgery sees a new light in the form of the Leica Microsystem’s GLOW800 augmented reality surgical fluorescence system which recently received approval from the FDA.
