Placental tissue destruction and insufficiency from COVID-19 causes stillbirth and neonatal death from hypoxic-ischemic injury: A study of 68 cases with SARS-CoV-2 placentitis from 12 countries.Arch. Pathol. Lab. Med., 2022.Order of authorship in the original publication: Schwartz, Avvad-Portari, Babál, et al.... "Conclusions.—The pathology abnormalities composing SARS-CoV-2 placentitis cause widespread and severe placental destruction resulting in placental malperfusion and insufficiency. In these cases, intrauterine and perinatal death likely results directly from placental insufficiency and fetal hypoxic-ischemic injury. There was no evidence that SARS-CoV-2 involvement of the fetus had a role in causing these deaths."

Discovery of a handwritten laboratory notebook by Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin describing experimental studies and development of the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis. By Lou Migliorini and David A. Schwartz. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tube.2026.102767Tuberculosis, 2026."Abstract: Background: The Bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine against tuberculosis is the most widespread vaccine in the world. Discovered by French investigators Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin at the Pasteur Institute, itremains the only effective vaccine against tuberculosis infection. This report describes the recognition andidentification of a previously unknown French handwritten laboratory notebook prepared by Drs. Calmette and Camille Guérin recording their experiments performed during the development of the BCG vaccine.
