'I am very bitter about it because they didn't look after them' Widow of nurse who died from Covid sues NHS
During the inquest, coroner Graeme Hughes said Mr Roberts's age, sex and health would not have triggered the need for the health board to carry out an individual risk assessment.
"The guidance at the time did require employers to risk assess their employees and work out who were at risk of complications from Covid," Mr Turner said. "That didn't happen in this case."Mr Turner said while the civil claim is a separate legal process from the inquest, the coroner's conclusion of industrial disease was "very important" and "highly relevant to the follow-on claim.
If Mrs Roberts's claim against the health board is successful, she said she would use any compensation to help Zac, 19, go to university. "We will await further correspondence from the family's legal representative and will respond accordingly."Lawyers for the Royal College of Nursing said they have about 70 similar claims by nurses and their families ongoing.

Organ and cell-specific biomarkers of Long-COVID identified with targeted proteomics and machine learning - Molecular MedicineBackground Survivors of acute COVID-19 often suffer prolonged, diffuse symptoms post-infection, referred to as “Long-COVID”. A lack of Long-COVID biomarkers and pathophysiological mechanisms limits effective diagnosis, treatment and disease surveillance. We performed targeted proteomics and machine learning analyses to identify novel blood biomarkers of Long-COVID. Methods A case–control study comparing the expression of 2925 unique blood proteins in Long-COVID outpatients versus COVID-19 inpatients and healthy control subjects. Targeted proteomics was accomplished with proximity extension assays, and machine learning was used to identify the most important proteins for identifying Long-COVID patients. Organ system and cell type expression patterns were identified with Natural Language Processing (NLP) of the UniProt Knowledgebase. Results Machine learning analysis identified 119 relevant proteins for differentiating Long-COVID outpatients (Bonferonni corrected P | 0.01). Protein combinations were narrowed down to two optimal models, with nine and five proteins each, and with both having excellent sensitivity and specificity for Long-COVID status (AUC = 1.00, F1 = 1.00). NLP expression analysis highlighted the diffuse organ system involvement in Long-COVID, as well as the involved cell types, including leukocytes and platelets, as key components associated with Long-COVID. Conclusions Proteomic analysis of plasma from Long-COVID patients identified 119 highly relevant proteins and two optimal models with nine and five proteins, respectively. The identified proteins reflected widespread organ and cell type expression. Optimal protein models, as well as individual proteins, hold the potential for accurate diagnosis of Long-COVID and targeted therapeutics.
