Previous literature studies have reported that clinical presentation and pathology of the novel coronavirus resembled SARS and MERS in regards to the elevated levels of Interleukin-6, through cellular transcription. This study aims to explore the clinical value of C-reactive Protein as a primary inflammatory marker to assess the severity of the disease. Meta-analysis is performed to investigate the association of the clinical manifestation of CRP1 with disease aggravation in a collective of published clinical findings and evaluate the CRP content as a potential biomarker to predict disease severity. The recent literature databases utilized to study the epidemiology of the SARS-CoV-2 strain and CRP accumulation include PubMed, The Lancet, NCBI2, Researchgate, and Medscape. In this retrospective cohort study, a clinical index is constructed with the clinical characteristics of 120 RT-PCR3 confirmed positive patients enrolled from December to February 2020 in China, South Korea, United Kingdom, and France. Calculations for relative weight values of each study and statistical analysis were performed using the inverse variance method. As unabated cytokine storms have correlated with greater risks of chronic lung diseases, CRP blood test as a type of inflammatory marker may serve as a measure of detecting IL-64 content in a patient displaying symptoms of COVID-19. Through this study, a definite association between inflammation and severity of Coronavirus was recognized and evaluated. Hence, this study proposes inflammatory markers such as CRP blood test as a guideline for optimal allocation of antibody test kits in the United States where a dearth of these resources exist.

Including stories of the savagery of Duterte’s war on drugs and corruption in the Philippines, this anthology is curated by the award-winning Jordanian author, Hisham Bustani.

"War, loss, love, compassion, nightmares, dreams, hopes and catastrophes; this is literary Asia at its best. From a wide range of geographies spanning from Palestine to Japan, from Kazakhstan to the Malaysia, mobilizing a wide array of innovative narrative styles and writing techniques, the short stories of this anthology, carefully curated by one of Asia’s prominent and daring writers, will take you on a power trip of deep exploration of local (yet global) pains and hopes, a celebration (and contemplation) of humanity and its impact, as explored by 24 writers and 6 translators, many of whom identify with many homes, giving Asia what it truly represents across (and beyond) its vast territory, expansive history, and many traditions and languages. This book is an open celebration of multi-faceted creativity and plurality."

What exactly is pseudo-profound bu****it, you might ask? In the context of this study, it's defined as statements that sound super deep but actually make very little sense – you know, the kind that one friend is always sharing on Facebook.

A 2015 study found that people who buy into "pseudo-profound bu****it" – the researchers' words, not ours – are more likely to score on the low side for verbal and fluid intelligence, and are also more likely to believe in conspiracies and endors

This didn't come as a surprise: The Philippines as one of the three most ignorant countries in the world.

A new study has found that a large number of people in some of the worlds most developed nations are ignorant of a lot of important topics. The Perils of Perception 2017 study by Ipsos MORI assessed the perception of 29,133 people around the world on topics concerning their nation and others.

"Facebook hasn't done anything to deal with the fundamental problem, which is they’re allowing lies to be treated the same way as truth and spreading it,” she says. “Either they’re negligent or they’re complicit in state-sponsored hate.”
