- Factors Associated With Long COVID Symptoms in an Online Cohort Study: This study aimed to determine if sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, medical history, or characteristics of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection are associated with Long COVID. The COVID-19 Citizen Science study, an online cohort study, was used to enroll participants and assess symptoms over time. Results showed that older age, female sex, and having a chronic medical condition were associated with Long COVID.
- Long COVID: a narrative review of the clinical aftermaths of COVID-19 with a focus on the putative pathophysiology and aspects of physical activity: COVID-19 can cause long-term symptoms and complications, known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) or long COVID, which can affect up to 20% of those infected with SARS-CoV-2. These symptoms can include fatigue, cognitive impairment, and psychological distress.
- SARS-CoV-2 immunity and vaccine strategies in people with HIV: People living with HIV have been designated as a priority group for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, with varying primary courses and additional boosters depending on CD4+ T cell count and/or detectable HIV viraemia.
- Connectivity and Order: an Analytical Framework: The current international order is paradoxical, with tensions between great powers and increasing interdependencies. Different descriptions of the future of international order exist, such as China’s ascendancy, American decline, a leaderless “no-one’s world”, or multiple competing modernities. However, global efforts to fight climate change and the shared strategies for dealing with COVID-19 suggest a different image of the world.
- [Robotic-assisted mobilization for an effective mobilization in a COVID-19 patient with ECMO treatment]: Early mobilization is important for COVID-19 intensive care patients with ECMO treatment, but it can be difficult due to sedation, extracorporeal procedures, and neuromuscular weakness. The ABCDEF bundle should be followed to reduce the risk of pulmonary complications.
- A comparative study on structural proteins of viruses that belong to the identical family: Recent studies have focused on the similarity between SARS Cov-2 and other viruses from the Coronaviridae family, such as MERS Cov, SARS Cov and Bat Cov RaTG13. These studies have identified that SARS Cov-2 is closely related to Bat Cov RaTG13, a SARS-related coronavirus found in bats, rather than the other viruses in that family.
- Evaluation of the Effect of Intubation Box use on Tracheal Intubation Difficulty with King Vision((R)) and Truview Videolaryngoscope in Manikin in a Tertiary Care Hospital: This study examined the effectiveness of an intubation box in reducing aerosolisation of SARS-CoV-2 virus during intubation procedures. 33 anaesthesiologists and critical care specialists intubated a manikin 4 times using a King Vision laryngoscope, with and without the intubation box. Results showed that the intubation box was effective in reducing aerosolisation of SARS-CoV-2 virus.
- Decoupling in international business: The ‘new’ vulnerability of globalization and MNEs’ response strategies: MNEs should consider the long-term effects of COVID-19 on globalization, such as the shift from cost-reduction to building partnerships based on shared value, and use this to inform their risk management strategies.
- Personality traits and mental distress after COVID-19 testing. Prospective long-term analysis in a Viennese cohort: This study aimed to determine whether personal beliefs on individual control and competence (locus of control, LoC) correlate with symptoms of mental distress and positive screening for post-traumatic stress disorder during a 9-month observational period following COVID-19 testing.
- Is ‘Long Covid’ similar to ‘Long SARS’
- Long COVID: a narrative review of the clinical aftermaths of COVID-19 with a focus on the putative pathophysiology and aspects of physical activity: The post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), also known as long COVID, are long-term symptoms and/or complications that can persist beyond 4 weeks from the onset of acute symptoms. It is estimated to affect at least 20% of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, regardless of their acute disease severity.
- Investigating brain cortical activity in patients with post-COVID-19 brain fog: This research aimed to investigate the electrophysiological analysis of patients who had COVID-19 and experienced brain fog (sub-cohort A) and those who had COVID-19 but did not experience brain fog. The research was conducted in April 2021, which was the peak of the third wave of COVID-19 in Poland.
- Late neurological consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection: New challenges for the neurologist: This study performed a systematic review of the literature to investigate the frequency of neurological symptoms and diseases in adult patients with COVID-19 that may be late consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection. PRISMA guidelines were followed and data was collected from studies where the diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed and its late neurological consequences occurred.
- Oral ketone esters acutely improve myocardial contractility in post-hospitalized COVID-19 patients: A randomized placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study: This is a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study comparing the effects of a single oral dose of 395 mg/kg of ketone esters on left myocardial function in participants previously hospitalized for COVID-19.
- Imaging and neuropathological findings in patients with Post COVID-19 Neurological Syndrome-A review: Post-COVID-19 Syndrome is a condition where signs and symptoms that appear after an infection with SARS-CoV-2 persist for more than 12 weeks and can be seen on brain and spine imaging.
- Activation of tuberculosis in recovered COVID-19 patients: a case report: COVID-19 and TB are two of the most important causes of respiratory infections globally, and both can cause immunosuppression which can lead to severe infections like TB. Patients who have had COVID-19 may be at an increased risk of developing TB due to their weakened immune system.
