Question
Can persons experiencing homelessness with confirmed or suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and mild to moderate symptoms be safely monitored in designated isolation and quarantine (I/Q) hotels?
Findings
In this cohort study among 1009 I/Q hotel guests referred from hospitals, outpatient settings, and public health surveillance, 81% completed their recommended I/Q course, and only 4% of those transferred from the county hospital required readmission for COVID-19 progression.
Meaning
This study suggests that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a hotel-based I/Q strategy that delivers integrated medical and behavioral health support to people experiencing homelessness can be done safely outside the hospital setting.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a challenge for clinicians due to increasing drug resistance and dwindling treatment options. We report on the activity of MEDI3902, an antibody targeting type 3 secretion protein PcrV and Psl exopolysaccharide, in rabbit bloodstream and lung infection models. MEDI3902 prophylaxis or treatment was protective in both acute models and exhibited enhanced activity when combined with a subtherapeutic dose of meropenem. These findings further support MEDI3902 for the prevention or treatment of serious P. aeruginosa infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
