Methods of encoding and decoding for video data are described for encoding or decoding coefficients for a transform unit. In particular, the sign bits for the non-zero coefficients are encoded using sign bit hiding. Two or more sets of coefficients are defined for the transform unit and a sign bit may be hidden for each set, subject to satisfaction of a threshold test. The sets may correspond to coefficient groups that are otherwise used in multi-level significance map encoding and decoding.

Methods and compounds for preventing and arresting COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, via inhibition of Interleukin-6, TNF-alpha, and other cytokines, and via reduction of C-reactive proteins are provided. Analyses of patients with COVID-19 complicated by ARDS, for example, show highly activated cytotoxic T-cells, resulting from hyperactivation of the immune system. A significant surge of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), TNF-α, and other cytokines are thought to be mediators of this enhanced T-cell activity, and runaway inflammation that are dangerous or fatal to the patient. Example oral formulations dubbed BV-4051 and Artovid-20 provide prophylaxis and treatment of these conditions caused by COVID-19 disease. The example formulations contain plant extracts boosting the human immune system and targeting the detrimental effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in its various strains.
