Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS), colloquially known as Long COVID, is a prevalent phenomenon that affects thousands of Veterans in VA care. VA patients suffering from Long COVID not only experience lingering physical symptoms following COVID-19 infection, but have increased mental health problems including sleep disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma and stress-related disorders as well as increased use of opioid and non-opioid pain medications, antidepressants, and sedatives to treat these conditions. Developing recovery-oriented care, "a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential" is a VA priority, however available Long COVID treatments primarily target symptom relief and are not designed to promote the recovery and rehabilitation of Veterans in a mental health context. Long COVID Coping and Recovery (LCCR) is a promising manualized, recovery-focused psychotherapeutic group intervention which aims to improve psychological adjustment to Long COVID symptoms, promote resilience, and facilitate coping, based on established psychotherapeutic techniques such as skills training, acceptance-based and identity-based principles. The investigators will assess rates of recruitment, intervention engagement, and session attendance (feasibility), Veteran satisfaction (acceptability), treatment adherence (fidelity) and preliminarily explore response to Long COVID Coping and Recovery (LCCR). Findings will be used to make a final adaptation of the treatment materials and to develop a research protocol for a large scale RCT of LCCR for Veterans with Long COVID. This study will pilot test a well-specified, group-based intervention tailored to the unique needs of Veterans with Long COVID. The results of the proposed study will provide data to 1) identify adaptations needed to optimize LCCR for Veterans with Long COVID; 2) identify possible benefits of LCCR; 3) inform development of a large scale RCT of LCCR for Veterans with Long COVID.

Viruses are a major health problem for the general public and at risk populations. Normally, detection of antibody titers is the gold standard for determining the effectiveness of the immune system following natural or vaccine caused immunization. However, determining the effectiveness of other parts of the immune system are less common due to the difficulties with testing. Furthermore, there is a critical need to address other therapies in case vaccination is not successful in immuncompromised populations. Exercise has been shown to increase the strength of the immune system against many types of viruses and therefore could be simple way to improve immunity against the COVID-19 virus. The aim of this research is to determine the effects of exercise on anti-viral immunity against many types of common viruses before and after vaccination. We hypothesize that exercise will enhance the anti-viral immunity before and after vaccination. Up to 30 healthy volunteers (age 18-44 years) will be recruited to participate in this study. For completion of Aim 1, three visits are needed totaling around 7 hours of the patient's time and for Aim 2, three visits are needed totaling around 4.5 hours of the patient's time. The initial visit will be for pre-screening and if deemed healthy enough to participate, an exercise test to determine the VO2 max of the participant will be conducted. The following visits will require a trained phlebotomist to insert an in-dwelling catheter and participants will undergo a 20-minute incremental exercise trial. Approximately 50mL of blood will be collected at four different timepoints: at rest, 60% VO2 max, 80% VO2 max, and 1-hr post-exercise. All four collected blood samples will be used to expand viral specific T-cells and compare IFN-γ rele

This platform protocol is designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a wide range of settings within health care systems, for remote settings, and in community settings where it can be integrated into COVID-19 programs and subsequent treatment plans. This protocol is a prospective, multi-center, multi-arm, randomized, controlled platform trial evaluating potential interventions for PASC-mediated cognitive dysfunction. The hypothesis is that PASC-associated dysfunction in cognitive domains, such as executive function and attention, may be improved by interventions that selectively focus on enhancing those domains. This design seeks to evaluate each intervention relative to the Active Comparator. The BrainHQ (alone) arm is important because the intervention is commercially available, accessible, relatively inexpensive, and does not require trained personnel to administer. BrainHQ has been also been proven effective in other studies of cognitive dysfunction such as studies in aging, mild cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, among others. The BrainHQ + PASC CoRE arm and the BrainHQ + tDCS arms are suspected to provide cognitive improvements beyond BrainHQ alone through different mechanisms. Both PASC CoRE and tDCS have extensive prior use and have demonstrated utility in improving aspects of cognitive function in other clinical settings..

The adaptive immune response, consisting of antiviral T and B cells, is critical for providing protection against viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, both during an active infection and later following a subsequent exposure. They can both also potentially contribute to pathogenesis if they are overstimulated. Despite these advances in knowledge, there are still significant gaps in understanding of what constitutes a protective or immunopathologic immune response and its durability. Significant knowledge gaps also remain pertaining to the early recognition of COVID patients with increased risk of clinical deterioration who require continued hospitalization and the use of more intensive treatments designed to improve outcomes. Data from non-COVID patients with MI show that platelet surface expression of FcγRIIa, the low-affinity receptor for the Fc fragment of immunoglobulin (Ig) G, identifies patients at high and low risk of subsequent cardiovascular events. Platelet expression of FcγRIIa is increased by interferon γ20 that is significantly elevated in severe COVID-19 infections. The high prevalence of arterial thrombosis among COVID-19 patients and the central role of thrombosis in respiratory failure support the hypothesis that elevated platelet expression of FcγRIIa will identify COVID patients at increased risk of thrombotic complications and clinical deterioration. In addition to the potential role of platelet activation in thrombosis associated with COIVD-19, the endothelium may also play a significant role. The investigators hypothesize that elevated EMPs in plasma will identify patients at high risk of thrombosis and clinical deterioration. To begin to address the knowledge gaps above and obtain preliminary data for future large grant submission, the investigators propose a small, prospective, single-center cohort study that will enroll patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection and exhibiting a range of disease severity. Biosamples will be obtained and used to study T and B cells, antibody repertoire, and durability of protective immunity, and also to quantify platelet expression of FcγRIIa and circulating EMPs, as described in the protocol.

To reach herd immunity for COVID-19, experts estimate that 70% of the population will need to be vaccinated. However, vaccination rates have begun to slow down in the United States. The investigators will partner with Philadelphia to launch a COVID-19 vaccination sweepstakes, in which residents will be eligible to win if they have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine prior to a given drawing. Drawings will be held every two weeks; multiple prizes of various sizes will be awarded in each drawing. Half of the prizes in each size category in each drawing will be awarded to residents of a zip code that is randomly selected from a pre-defined list of under-vaccinated zip codes (this zip code will be announced at the start of each 2-week drawing period), the other half will be awarded to residents outside of that selected zip code. The investigators will analyze vaccination rates in Philadelphia as compared with neighboring regions before, during, and after the specified time period, as well as analyze vaccination rates in the three selected zip codes compared to the other zip codes that could have been targeted (the residual set of under-vaccinated zip codes) to determine the effectiveness of the sweepstakes at encouraging vaccinations.
