    Abstract Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid), an oral antiviral medication targeting SARS-CoV-2, remains an important treatment for COVID-19. Initial studies of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir were performed in SARS-CoV-2 unvaccinated patients without prior confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection; however, most individuals have now either been vaccinated and/or have experienced SARS-CoV-2 infection. After nirmatrelvir/ritonavir became widely available, reports surfaced of "Paxlovid rebound," a phenomenon in which symptoms (and SARS-CoV-2 test positivity) would initially resolve, but after finishing treatment, symptoms and test positivity would return. We used a previously described parsimonious mathematical model of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 infection to model the effect of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir treatment in unvaccinated and vaccinated patients. Model simulations show that viral rebound after treatment occurs only in vaccinated patients, while unvaccinated (SARS-COV-2 naïve) patients treated with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir do not experience any rebound in viral load. This work suggests that an approach combining parsimonious models of the immune system could be used to gain important insights in the context of emerging pathogens.

    Abstract Purpose: To examine the association between a measure of heart rate variability and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: Patients with SARS-COV-2 infection admitted to Columbia University Irving Medical Center who died between 4/25/2020 and 7/14/2020 and had an autopsy were examined for root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), organ weights, and evidence of SCD.
    Results: Thirty COVID-19 patients were included and 12 had SCD. The RMSSD over 7 days without vs with SCD was median 0.0129 (IQR 0.0074-0.026) versus 0.0098 (IQR 0.0056-0.0197), p < 0.0001. The total adjusted adrenal weight of the non-SCD group was 0.40 g/kg (IQR 0.35-0.55) versus 0.25 g/kg (IQR 0.21-0.31) in the SCD group, p = 0.0007.
    Conclusions: Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 who experienced SCD had lower parasympathetic activity (RMSSD) and smaller sized adrenal glands. Further research is required to replicate these findings.

    Abstract Abstract: The intersection of population health (PH), quality improvement (QI), and health disparities is increasingly a focus in graduate medical education. However, it remains unclear how trainees may best improve disparities within clinical training environments. We integrated PH education for residents participating in a practical QI experience in a continuity clinic serving an underserved population. We analyzed whether PH education increased confidence in creating care plans and implementing team-based care strategies after selection of one of three QI metrics with known health disparities led to improvement. Posteducational session, attendees had odds of confidence in creating care plans 10.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.6-21.7) times the presession period, whereas nonattendees' confidence was unchanged (OR 1.63, 95% CI 0.78-3.4). Residents participating in the QI project did not have higher confidence in creating a care plan at baseline (20% vs. 9.6%, p = .09) nor any additional shift in confidence versus other residents (p = .57). There were no differences in QI metric performance rate trends for residents choosing a specific QI metric versus those that did not (p > .33 for all comparisons). PH didactics can increase resident confidence around PH topics. However, translating such learning into outcomes and improved health equity may require dedicated efforts across residency training.

    Abstract COVID-19 presentations range from mild to moderate through severe disease but also manifest with persistent illness or viral recrudescence. We hypothesized that the spectrum of COVID-19 disease manifestations was a consequence of SARS-CoV-2-mediated delay in the pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) response, including dampened type I interferon signaling, thereby shifting the balance of the immune response to be dominated by damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) signaling. To test the hypothesis, we constructed a parsimonious mechanistic mathematical model. After calibration of the model for initial viral load and then by varying a few key parameters, we show that the core model generates four distinct viral load, immune response and associated disease trajectories termed "patient archetypes", whose temporal dynamics are reflected in clinical data from hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The model also accounts for responses to corticosteroid therapy and predicts that vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies and cellular memory will be protective, including from severe COVID-19 disease. This generalizable modeling framework could be used to analyze protective and pathogenic immune responses to diverse viral infections.
