INTRODUCTION: There remains a need to better identify patients at highest risk for developing severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) as additional waves of the pandemic continue to impact hospital systems. We sought to characterize the
CONCLUSION: Neuroinvasive properties of the virus as demonstrated in in vitro studies, and further verified by neurological illnesses in patients, present a special threat to mankind. Clinicians must be prepared to recognize and treat these
The nature of physiotherapists' work involves an increased risk of occupational stress and burnout, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyse the level of perceived generalised stress, the occupational
The type I interferon (IFN-I) system is essential to limit severe viral disease in humans. Thus, IFN-I deficiencies are associated with serious life-threatening infections. Remarkably, some rare individuals with chronic autoimmune diseases develop
CONCLUSION: In general, we found that for patients with COVID-19, the increase in mean platelet volume was a predictor for SARS-Cov-2. The rapid decrease of platelet volume and the decrease of total platelet volume are dangerous signals for the
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of dry eye among medical students was 46.1% in the present study. Longer duration of usage of visual display units (laptop/mobile) was the only factor that showed a statistically significant association with dry eye in our
INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 infection can impact the central nervous system, and is often associated with cognitive decline. However, there are no studies linking serologically confirmed COVID-19 infection with objectively assessed cognitive functioning
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the risk of COVID-19 infection to patients receiving foot or ankle ICSI is low. The limitations of this work must be considered, but our findings support the judicious use of corticosteroid injections during the
