CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that genetically determined hypertension may increase the risk for severe COVID-19. The shared genetic variation and the connecting molecular pathways may underline causal links between hypertension and COVID-19. This

CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 history was associated with slightly higher reversal agent use, all-cause costs, and office visits after pharmacologic MPI; however, the differences were not clinically meaningful. Concerns for use of stress agents in patients

This analysis of the Czech health system reviews developments in governance, organization, financing and delivery of care, health reforms and health system performance. Czechs have enjoyed a statutory health insurance system with a high level of

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is usually caused by immune-mediated destruction of islet beta-cells, and genetic and environmental factors are thought to trigger autoimmunity. Convincing evidence indicates that viruses are associated with T1D development and

Thymomas are associated with autoimmune disease, most commonly myasthenia gravis, and rarely with autoimmune encephalitis. More recently, viral triggers including COVID-19 have also been implicated in autoimmunity. We present a case of antibody

Kawasaki disease is a generalized systemic vasculitis that affects blood vessels throughout the body. The aetiology of Kawasaki disease is still unknown but is thought to be related to the combined effects of the immune response, genetic

CONCLUSION: Gender and marital status was significantly associated with vaccine acceptance. Forty-six percent respondents were willing to take the vaccine. Among the vaccine hesitant group, respondents were worried about the side effects, safety and

CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that PAR was superior to procalcitonin, WBC, NLR and CRP in determining COVID-19 severity. PAR was an important predictor of ICU requirement in COVID-19 cases.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The risks of cerebrovascular manifestations due to SARS-CoV-2 infection are significantly increased within the first 6 months of the infection. Our work aims to give an update on current clinical aspects of diagnosis and treatment

CONCLUSIONS: The evidence, therefore, suggests that the timing of the pandemic and the related restrictions were associated with a decrease in the supply and consumption of milk from informal markets in Nairobi and a decrease in the food security of
