See correction statement in: https://publichealth.jmir.org/2021/6/e31554/ Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by a novel coronavirus termed SARS-CoV-2, has spread quickly worldwide. Convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from patients following recovery from COVID-19 infection and development of antibodies against the virus is an attractive option for either prophylactic or therapeutic treatment, since antibodies may have direct or indirect antiviral activities and immunotherapy has proven effective in principle and in many clinical reports. Objective: We seek to characterize the latest advances and evidence in the use of CP for COVID-19 through a systematic review and quantitative analysis, identify knowledge gaps in this setting, and offer recommendations and directives for future research. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were continuously searched for studies assessing the use of CP for COVID-19, including clinical studies, commentaries, reviews, guidelines or protocols, and in vitro testing of CP antibodies. The screening process and data extraction were performed according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

  • Covert Capital the Kabila Family’S Secret Investment Bank
    Covert Capital The Kabila Family’s Secret Investment Bank May 2019 Cover photo: The Sentry. The Sentry • TheSentry.org Covert Capital: The Kabila Family’s Secret Investment Bank May 2019 Executive Summary It would have been hard to understand the significance of Kwanza Capital just by looking at the company’s headquarters in a commercial garage in Kinshasa’s business district. No sign marked its presence. There was nothing to indicate the company was shuffling over one hundred million dollars through accounts held at a bank linked to the family of Joseph Kabila, who served as president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo) from 2001 to January 2019. Nor would onlookers have had reason to suspect that the company was controlled by members of Congo’s former first family and its close allies. Individuals with knowledge of the company’s activities told The Sentry it maintained a low profile by design and the individuals behind Kwanza Capital apparently sought to minimize their public association with the company. Kwanza Capital, which is now reportedly under liquidation, gained only fleeting public notice as it made unusual maneuvers in the country’s banking sector, but its story is more expansive than the public record would suggest. An investigation by The Sentry into Kwanza Capital’s activities provides a new glimpse into how members of Kabila’s family and inner circle have done business. The Sentry examined the firm’s operations, finances, apparent beneficiaries, business partners, and relationships with government agencies and officials. In addition to maintaining extensive links to a bank run by members of Kabila’s family, Kwanza Capital participated in multiple acquisition attempts in the Congolese banking sector.
