“…Hyperkalemia, attributable to renal failure, is commonly observed in fatal cases (128,129). Hypoalbuminemia develops early in the course of illness in most cases of EVD as a result of either urinary protein loss, extravasation into tissues, or possibly protein-losing gastroenteropathy, as documented in other acute viral infections (129,132,133). Hypocalcemia may occur in up to 75% of EVD cases, consistent with rates observed in patients who are critically ill with other diseases, where it is thought to be related to impaired parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion, reduced calcitriol production, or end-organ resistance to PTH (129,134).…”

For almost 50 years, ebolaviruses and related filoviruses have been repeatedly reemerging across the vast equatorial belt of the African continent to cause epidemics of highly fatal hemorrhagic fever. The 2013-2015 West African epidemic, by far the most geographically extensive, most fatal, and longest lasting epidemic in Ebola's history, presented an enormous international public health challenge, but it also provided insights into Ebola's pathogenesis and natural history, clinical expression, treatment, prevention, and control. Growing understanding of ebolavirus pathogenetic mechanisms and important new clinical observations of the disease course provide fresh clues about prevention and treatment approaches. Although viral cytopathology and immune-mediated cell damage in ebolavirus disease often result in severe compromise of multiple organs, tissue repair and organ function recovery can be expected if patients receive supportive care with fluids and electrolytes; maintenance of oxygenation and tissue perfusion; and respiratory, renal, and cardiovascular support. Major challenges for managing future Ebola epidemics include establishment of early and aggressive epidemic control and earlier and better patient care and treatment in remote, resource-poor areas where Ebola typically reemerges. In addition, it will be important to further develop Ebola vaccines and to adopt policies for their use in epidemic and pre-epidemic situations.

“…1 In addition, Garthwaite et al (2020) found that the rosters of Power Five basketball and football teams (the teams most likely to be net producers of revenue) were disproportionately Black (like Prothro), while other sports that benefited financially from basketball and football surpluses were disproportionately White. This state of affairs has been criticized as unethical (Southall & Karcher, 2016), and it has prompted many advocates to call for more compensation for college athletes, and with some recent success (Booker, 2020;McCann, 2019;Russo, 2019).…”

Objectives: The present studies examined two dimensions of racial ingroup identification, using them as predictors of Black and White Americans' attitudes toward paying college athletes. Following Leach et al. (2008), the present work distinguished between ingroup self-investment and ingroup self-definition. The central prediction was that respondent race and self-investment would interact in predicting compensation support. Method: In three studies (N = 352, N = 476, & N = 562), U.S. residents who were 18 or older and either Black or White completed an online survey in which they completed a self-report measure of racial identification, as well as reporting their opinion of paying college athletes. Results: The results supported the prediction, demonstrating that Black respondents' support was higher than that for Whites, but this was especially the case at high levels of self-investment. The third study suggests that these effects were driven by respondents who believed that Black athletes made up a larger percentage of the pool of likely beneficiaries of compensation. Ingroup self-definition played no role as a moderator. Conclusions: Broadly speaking, it may be that, for policies whose likely beneficiaries are disproportionately Black, stronger racial self-investment serves to widen racial divides in support. Public Significance StatementAn ongoing controversy surrounds proposals to pay college athletes, with proponents arguing that failing to do so wrongly exploits the labor of a disproportionately Black class of athletes. Opinions typically divide by race, with Black Americans more supportive than White. The present data support the conclusion that one likely contributor to such opinion divides is a specific aspect of racial ingroup identification-Black Americans' self-investment in their race. The data also demonstrate the value of acknowledging the multidimensional nature of ingroup identification.
