- The COVID-19 impact and characterization on substance use-related emergency department visit for adolescents and young adults in Canada: Practical implications: This study examined the trends and characterization of substance use-related ED visits among adolescents and young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic in order to ensure the stability and quality of ED services.
- An Unusual Case of Severe Pneumonia Caused Due Candida Tropicalis With a Favorable Clinical Response to Antifungals in a Nonimmunocompromised Patient From the Community: Researchers report a case of severe pneumonia caused by Candida tropicalis in an elderly patient with a history of hypertension, ischemic stroke, and facial paralysis. The patient was admitted to the hospital for dyspnea and tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Association of SARS-CoV-2 viral load with biochemical profile of COVID-19 patients: A nigerian experience: This study examined the association between host viral load and kidney function in patients with COVID-19. Plasma levels of renal markers (urea nitrogen, creatinine, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)) and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chlorine, and bicarbonate) were measured to determine the relationship between viral load and kidney function.
- Experimental and computational methods for studying the dynamics of RNA-RNA interactions in SARS-COV2 genomes: Long-range RNA-RNA interactions are found in Beta-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, and are involved in the regulation of sub-genomic RNA production rates. Crosslinking and sequencing of RNA-RNA hybrids have shown that these structures exist on both genomic and sub-genomic levels.
- A simulation approach for COVID-19 pandemic assessment based on vaccine logistics, SARS-CoV-2 variants, and spread rate: This study designed an extended Susceptible-Infected Healed (SIR) model based on System Dynamics to analyze the factors affecting the rate of spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to inform population-wide interventions such as vaccination.
- Autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis might be triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection in a child – a case report: COVID-19 can cause a range of liver involvement, including elevated liver enzymes and cholestasis. It is also associated with the development of autoimmune disorders.
- Biomimetic In Vitro Lung Models: Current Challenges and Future Perspective: The lack of predictive in vitro lung models is a major obstacle in pulmonary preclinical drug development, and current models are limited in technological and biological aspects. Efforts to develop biomimetic in vitro lung models are ongoing, but more research is needed to find a cure for post-COVID chronic respiratory diseases.
- The future of public health education: the post Covid-19 era: The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for public health to take a leading role in public policy to address social inequities and prioritize population health and wellbeing. This requires challenging the status quo and evolving new strategies to ensure health equity.
- Cognitive deficit in post-acute COVID-19: an opportunity for EEG evaluation: This study aimed to investigate the presence of brain fog in patients with mild COVID-19 symptoms, and to examine the mechanisms associated with it using transcranial magnetic stimulation and neuroimaging.
