Bridging Readership: Using An Institutional Repository (Ir) To Promote Covid-19 Related Faculty Research, Sara Hoover, Brittany Smith

Himmelfarb Library Faculty Posters and Presentations

How can medical librarians utilize emerging technologies to promote readership of Covid-19 related research from their institution?

This poster shows how librarians and staff at the Himmelfarb Library at George Washington University (GW) used the Digital Commons institutional repository (IR) platform to develop a subject-specific collection designed to collocate and promote COVID-19-related faculty research. In June 2020, we established a collection entitled “COVID-19 Publications by GW Authors” and since that time we have archived citations to over 100 publications. By utilizing a Google-indexed IR, we have increased awareness of local scholarship and utilize the built-in PlumX dashboard to provide authors …

Reflections On How The Covid-19 Pandemic Can Change Tour Guiding, Luis Miguel Brito, Cristina Carvalho

International Journal of Tour Guiding and Visitor Attraction Research

This short editorial paper reflects on the Tour Guiding industry in 2020 and the impact of COVID-19. The paper suggests that while the pandemic and its associated lockdowns has devastated the tourism industry, it has also encouraged those working in the industry to be more innovative and imaginative in their business practices. While the impact of the virus is acknowledged, it is proposed that 2020 may be a turning point in redefining tourism in general and Tour Guiding in particular.

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Background

The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has caused devastating mortality and posed a significant threat to public health worldwide. Despite the severity of this illness and 2.3 million worldwide deaths, the disease mechanism is mostly unknown. Previous studies that characterized differential gene expression due to SARS-CoV-2 infection lacked robust validation. Although vaccines are now available, effective treatment options are still out of reach.

Results

To characterize the transcriptional activity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, a gene signature consisting of 25 genes was generated using a publicly available RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) dataset of cultured cells infected with SARS-CoV-2. The signature estimated infection level accurately in …

When Covid-19 Calls...Who Will Answer?, Diana Ruiz

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

During the initial wave of COVID-19, healthcare leaders struggled to make sense of the chaos and furloughed nurses due to low patient volumes. However, a hospital in Texas took a stance against furloughs and reassigned nurses to “answer” the call to action by launching a community COVID-19 nurse phone line. Late Breaking Reason: The innovation and employee-centered actions taken by hospital leadership during the COVID-19 Pandemic truly exemplified the AACN Healthy Work Environment Standards. As a result of the creation of COVID-designated nurse triage line, thousands of individuals were supported in the community, while nurse roles were preserved and enhanced.

Assessing The Psychological Impact Of Covid-19 Among College Students: An Evidence Of 15 Countries, Kavita Batra, Manoj Sharma, Ravi Batra, Tejinder P. Singh, Nena Schvaneveldt

School of Medicine Faculty Research

Mental health issues among college students is a leading public health concern, which seems to have been exacerbating during the COVID-19 pandemic. While previous estimates related to psychological burden among college students are available, quantitative synthesis of available data still needs to be performed. Therefore, this meta-analysis endeavors to present collective evidence discussing the psychological impact of COVID-19 among college students. Bibliographical library databases, including Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, and PsycINFO, were systematically searched for relevant studies. Titles, abstracts, and full articles were screened, and two reviewers extracted data. Heterogeneity was assessed by I-2 statistic. The random-effects model was utilized …

Anti-Sars-Cov-2 Antibodies Within Ivig Preparations: Cross-Reactivities With Seasonal Coronaviruses, Natural Autoimmunity, And Therapeutic Implications, Marinos Dalakas, Kleopatra Bitzogli, Harry Alexopoulos

Department of Neurology Faculty Papers

Introduction: Cross-reactivity to SARS-CoV-2 antigenic peptides has been detected on T-cells from pre-pandemic donors due to recognition of conserved protein fragments within members of the coronavirus's family. Further, preexisting antibodies recognizing SARS-CoV-2 with conserved epitopes in the spike region have been now seen in uninfected individuals. High-dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg), derived from thousands of healthy donors, contains natural IgG antibodies against various antigens which can be detected both within the IVIg preparations and in the serum of IVIg-receiving patients. Whether IVIg preparations from pre-pandemic donors also contain antibodies against pre-pandemic coronaviruses or autoreactive antibodies that cross-react with SARS-CoV-2 antigenic epitopes, …
