Article Synopsis
- Establishing effective treatments for high-risk COVID-19 patients, particularly those with weakened immune systems or pre-existing conditions, is difficult due to limited options and insufficient data on therapies like convalescent plasma (CP).
- A study analyzed 55 hospitalized patients at risk for severe disease compared to a larger group of 220 matched patients, finding no significant difference in mortality rates between those treated with CP and those who weren't.
- The analysis suggested that early CP administration, before severe lung complications develop, may reduce mortality rates, while treatment during critical illness resulted in much higher death rates.

Imaging spectroscopy in general and translational laboratory imaging spectroscopy in particular can be utilized for a variety of different research topics. Geoscientific applications require a precise pre-processing of hyperspectral data cubes to retrieve at-surface reflectance in order to conduct spectral feature-based comparison of unknown sample spectra to known library spectra.
