CONCLUSION: This is the first study to show that on-line HDF preserves the antibody response better than high-flux HD after vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Treatment strategies that sustain the vaccine response are essential to apply in this
CONCLUSION: In patients admitted with COVID-19 undergoing early echo triage, the independent predictors of death and ICU admission were age and oxygen saturation. The inclusion of echo variables did not improve prediction of unfavorable outcomes.
A comprehensive knowledge on systems biology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is crucial for differential diagnosis of COVID-19. Interestingly, the radiological and pathological features of COVID-19 mimic that of hypersensitivity
In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many cancer centers and clinics deployed remote work options for their employees. Due to the rapid response needed during this crisis, little to no feedback was obtained from
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: The 30-day mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with hip fracture with COVID-19 infection than those without. Patients with COVID-19 had a higher all-cause mortality rate than those without. This
CONCLUSION: DoAE has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, DoAE has the potential for COVID-19 prophylaxis, treatment, and recovery from the adverse effects of COVID-19. However, its anti-inflammatory activity affects the
CONCLUSION: Less invasive nasal swab sampling with adequate sensitivity can be used as an alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 by real-time RT-PCR.
Cytokine storm refers to the overproduction of immune and inflammatory cells and their proteins (cytokines) [interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6] causing acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19. COVID-19 causes inflammatory reactions, and patients
Receiving digital healthcare consultations for weight management, in place of in-person appointments, has proliferated in recent years, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of the present study was to investigate patients' experiences
