Subject matter of the present invention is a method for (a) diagnosing or predicting the risk of life-threatening deterioration or an adverse event or (b) diagnosing or prognosing the severity or (c) predicting or monitoring the success of a therapy or intervention or (d) therapy guidance or therapy stratification or (e) patient management in a patient infected with a coronavirus, the method comprising:
• determining the level of dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) in a sample of bodily fluid of said patient,
• comparing said level of determined DPP3 to a pre-determined threshold, and
• correlating said level of determined DPP3 with the risk of life-threatening deterioration or an adverse event, or
• correlating said level of determined DPP3 with the severity, or
• correlating said level of determined DPP3 with the success of a therapy or intervention, or
• correlating said level of DPP3 with a certain therapy or intervention, or
• correlating said level of DPP3 with the management of said patient.
Subject matter of the present invention is an inhibitor of the activity of DPP3 for use in therapy or intervention in a patient infected with a coronavirus.

This disclosure relates to treatments for reducing the side effects associated with treatment of a medication or drug, such as a chemotherapy medication, being experienced by a patient. This may be accomplished by administering to a patient taking the medication, a buffered aqueous liquid having a pH of about 10 to about 11.5.
The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies that bind to the natriuretic peptide receptor 1 (NPR1) protein, and methods of use thereof. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to NPR1. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for activating NPR1 activity, thus providing a means of treating or preventing a disease, disorder or condition associated with NPR1 in humans.
