Summary: A systematic review examines the prevalence of nurses and physicians leaving their positions in European hospitals and the factors influencing job retention among them. Researchers found that 31.4% of hospitalized patients with cardiac problems and suspected COVID-19 had PTSD during waves 2-5 of the pandemic.
Summary: Researchers examined the clinical, laboratory, and cardiac indicators of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), and the experiences and behaviors of adults with positive SARS-CoV-2 test results or who were exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19.
Summary: Researchers investigated the association between mild COVID-19 and neurovisual manifestations in children. Three previously healthy children developed neurovisual manifestations after mild acute COVID-19, and their cases were analyzed to better understand this association.
Summary: Researchers analyzed the clinical characteristics and key indicators of SARS-CoV-2 patients infected with the local Omicron variant from January 2020 to March 2022 in the Fifth People’s Hospital of Wuxi, to understand the clinical characteristics of mild and severe patients and provide a basis for effective treatment and prevention.
Summary: SARS-CoV-2’s direct ancestors remain unknown, but molecular epidemiology suggests close relatives with high zoonotic potential were circulating prior to the pandemic. Vitamin C administration can reduce ACE2 protein levels and prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. A young man with COVID-19 symptoms developed ischemic priapism, likely due to thrombosis of penile vessels caused by the virus.
Summary: Researchers propose a new drug repurposing approach for COVID-19 based on knowledge graph embeddings. Results showed that the approach is able to identify potential drugs for COVID-19 treatment with high accuracy.
Summary: Researchers examined the effects of risk factors, fear, and concern on self-care regarding COVID-19 in pre-elderly and elderly people. A correlational-predictive study was conducted using convenience sampling, and the scales of fear of COVID-19, concern about COVID-19, and self-care during COVID-19 confinement were applied.
Summary: One study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical emergencies. Researchers identified characteristics of lung cancer patients that predict an increased risk of death or serious SARS-CoV-2 infection. Research into host-viral interactions during SARS-CoV-2 infection may help to guide the design of novel antiviral therapeutics.
Summary: Researchers examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and preventive measures on children’s well-being and their parents’ anxiety level. Results suggest that the pandemic has had a negative impact on parental mental health. Additionally, researchers found that autoantibodies targeting ACE2 may contribute to severe outcomes of COVID-19.
Summary: Researchers evaluated the prevalence of smell and taste dysfunction two years after mild SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to one year follow-up. Another study examined the effectiveness of mRNA and viral-vector vaccines in the epidemic period led by different SARS-CoV-2 variants. Researchers also studied the effectiveness of vaccines in preventing severe COVID-19 in children and adolescents aged 3-17.
