CONCLUSION: 24-month-old pandemic-born infants had largely similar developmental and behavioural scores compared with their prepandemic counterparts. Concerns have been raised in the communication developmental domain.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Evidence shows that CT-derived sarcopenia can predict adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients. However, discrepancies exist as to which vertebral level can be used to calculate sarcopenia which can effectively serve as a prognostic
CONCLUSIONS: In hospitalised COVID-19 patients, higher pre-admission ambient air pollution and blood black carbon levels predicted adverse outcomes. Our findings imply that air pollution exposure influences on COVID-19 severity and therefor the
CONCLUSION: Despite effective vaccination, fully vaccinated patients may be admitted to ICU because of disease severity. Unvaccinated patients were younger and had fewer comorbid conditions. Unvaccinated patients have an increased risk of 28-day
CONCLUSION: Pregnant women exposed to mRNA COVID-19 vaccine before 12 weeks of gestation did not have an increased risk of congenital malformation compared to women exposed outside the teratogenic window. As vaccination is safe and effective
The COVID19 pandemic has underlined the need for quick and high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 detection assays. Here we report the development of a direct RT-PCR detection method that can reliably detect SARS-CoV-2 gRNA in nasopharyngeal swab samples in
CONCLUSION: In all three countries, the use of these respiratory panels could reduce the average cost of diagnostics used for patients admitted to hospital with CAP.
CONCLUSIONS: Recovered COVID-19 patients reported increased pain intensity and frequency, together with reduced activity levels, relative to pre-COVID-19 levels, without effects of sociodemographic or clinical characteristics.
Most of the people who suffered from COVID-19 fully recovered, but approximately 10-20% of them developed a wide variety of symptoms after they recover from their initial illness. Long COVID can develop at any patient; however, several studies
