PubMed COVID-19 Clinical Care

The recent SARS-CoV-2 and mpox outbreaks have highlighted the need to expand our arsenal of broad-spectrum antiviral agents for future pandemic preparedness. Host-directed antivirals are an important tool to accomplish this as they typically offer

CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory bacterial co-infections and secondary infections are uncommon in patients with COVID-19 but may worsen outcomes. Assessment of bacterial complications is important in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, and the study

Progress in stem cell research has revolutionized the medical field for more than two decades. More recently, the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has allowed for the development of advanced disease modeling and tissue engineering

In a convenience sample of 93 patients treated with monoclonal antibodies (moAbs) against SARS-CoV-2, the interleukin-6²/lymphocyte count ratio (IL-6²/LC) was able to predict clinical worsening both in early stages of COVID-19 and in oxygen-requiring

CONCLUSIONS: Having the most significant correlations, IL-6 high levels in mechanically ventilated patients were shown to affect laboratory results, and, therefore, is suggested as a severity biomarker of COVID-19.

The family Coronaviridae includes viruses with positive-sense RNA genomes of 22-36 kb that are expressed through a nested set of 3' co-terminal subgenomic mRNAs. Members of the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae are characterized by 80-160 nm diameter

CONCLUSIONS: It is crucial to use predictors of influenza vaccination, such as how to use the media, for promoting a more widespread influenza vaccination uptake. The results of this study may be helpful in improving influenza vaccination rates

In 2022, COVID-19 remained the infectious disease at the top of most internal medicine physicians' minds. However, it was not the only infectious disease that was the topic of clinically relevant research that year. This article highlights some

CONCLUSIONS: This study's findings confirm previously observed gendered differences in the relations between the built environment, transport behaviors, and BMI, while offering new insights regarding the impacts of the changes in commute patterns

CONCLUSIONS: Establishing the relationship between Covid-19 infection, ocular symptoms, and presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus on the ocular surface proves to be challenging. In Covid-19 patients, ocular symptoms did not warrant a positive conjunctival
