A human-airway-on-a-chip for the rapid identification of candidate antiviral therapeutics and prophylactics
This study used a human airway-on-a-chip to model viral infections and screen drugs, identifying amodiaquine as a potential COVID-19 treatment. This drug, and its metabolite, showed promising results in preventing and treating SARS-CoV-2 infection in hamsters, but further research is needed to fully evaluate its safety and effectiveness in humans due to potential side effects.

Rhino-Orbital Mucormycosis Associated With COVID-19
This case study reports the development of rhino-orbital mucormycosis in a 60-year-old diabetic patient with severe COVID-19 infection who received steroid treatment. While the study suggests a possible link between these factors, the limited sample size and study design prevent definitive conclusions and highlight the need for further research to understand the complex interplay between COVID-19, steroid use, and secondary fungal infections.
