This current proposal evaluates the Longitudinal Energy Expenditure and Metabolic Effects in Patients with COVID-19 (LEEP-COVID) to understand, guide and optimize our metabolic and nutritional care of these high risk patients. As no data exist for the metabolic effects of COVID-19 patients, this data is urgently needed and essential to assist in the care of COVID-19 patients worldwide. We are uniquely positioned at Duke to perform this research, as we are the only US center with 2 of the FDA-approved devices in existence currently capable of collecting this vital data to guide the care of COVID-19 patients worldwide.

The United States is battling dual pandemics: healthcare provider (HCP) exhaustion and COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic death toll has surpassed 595,000 and continues to climb as the worldwide outbreak continues. Moreover, we have yet to understand the health impacts of "long-COVID". As evidenced by the national burnout epidemic in HCPs, persistent workplace stress not only impacts personal provider wellbeing, but also influences effective practice and patient outcomes. To address this need, we propose a 4-year, multi-site, four-arm parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT) comparing 2 non-pharmacological interventions: Transcendental Meditation (TM) and Experience Resolution Methodology (ERM) to Treatment as Usual (TAU). Participation in this study lasts up to 24 months for enrolled participants and is considered minimal risks.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of orally administered NLRP3 inhibitor, dapansutrile, for the treatment of moderate COVID-19 symptoms and early cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and moderate symptoms. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by infection from a new strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is characterized by fever, cough and shortness of breath, which in certain patients can lead to systemic organ failure and mortality. The data show that SARS-CoV-2 activates the innate immune signaling sensor NLRP3. Activation of NLRP3 initiates the cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which includes the production of primary cytokine, IL-1, triggering an intense inflammatory response that is prevalent in symptomatic COVID-19 patients. When CRS advances further to a fulminant 'cytokine storm', the data show that respiratory distress syndrome and multiple-organ failure take place. A specific inhibitor of NLRP3, dapansutrile may reduce or prevent the hyperinflammation associated with CRS by inhibiting the production of IL-1β early to arrest the progression to a severe 'cytokine storm.' The end result would be a reduction in the need for COVID-19 patients to receive intensive medical treatment, allowing for fewer hospitalizations, administration of mechanical ventilation and deaths.

Many patients do not recover following Covid infection. The resulting illness is called Long Covid. Because there is no agreed upon treatment for this ailment, the research team has decided to do an open label pilot study using non-invasive, transcutaneous stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. Inclusion criteria required the patient to fulfill criteria for having chronic fatigue syndrome. To date, fourteen patients provided evaluable data. Eight of these fulfilled the study's requirements for treatment success.

The COVID-19 pandemic ravaged United States skilled-nursing facilities (SNFs). Novel strategies that maximize the safety and quality of life for SNF residents with ADRD and staff who care for them are urgently needed. Thus, the study's objectives are: 1. To rapidly plan and pilot test an intervention that leverages COVID-19 antibody and PCR status to pair SNF staff with residents in the safest way possible 2. To reduce reduced COVID-19 incidence rate compared to SNFs not using this novel staff-resident assignment strategy.

While both heterologous (mixing) and homologous (matching) vaccine regimens are now considered standard of care, post-vaccination complications and long-term effects of the different vaccination regimens have not been thoroughly studied. There is a pressing need to investigate the longitudinal effects of the mixing and matching vaccine-booster approaches. This study proposes to utilize the existing digital infrastructure of the COVID-19 Citizen Science (CCS) study on the Eureka Research Platform to perform a systematic and prospective randomized trial comparing mixing versus matching approaches. Eligible CCS participants will have the opportunity to be randomly assigned to a recommendation of receiving either the Pfizer or Moderna booster vaccine. Long-term effects will be monitored through the participants' completion of their regular weekly CCS follow-up surveys on symptoms and infection. This randomized trial aims to mitigate the effect of confounding variables and provide more conclusive evidence on each regiment to guide booster recommendations.

Unfortunately, hospital-acquired weakness is highly prevalent among COVID-19 hospitalized patients, who often require prolonged bed-rest or paralytics for an extended period of time in order to maintain oxygenation. Prolonged bed rest has been associated with pronounced loss of muscle mass that can exceed 10% over the 1st week, which leads to functional impairment and complications post-hospital discharge. Physical therapy and in-hospital mobility program may reduce the incident of hospital-acquired weakness, but they are often impractical for COVID-19 patients. In particular, conventional mobility programs are challenging for those who are being treated in an intensive Care Unit. The purpose of this study is to test feasibility and proof-of-concept effectiveness of daily use of lower extremity electrical stimulation (EE) therapy, as a practical solution to address lower extremity muscle deconditioning, to address chronic consequences of COVID-19 including hospital-acquired weakness.
