PubMed COVID-19 Clinical Care

In 2022, COVID-19 remained the infectious disease at the top of most internal medicine physicians' minds. However, it was not the only infectious disease that was the topic of clinically relevant research that year. This article highlights some

Among the current five Variants of Concern, infections caused by SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant are often associated with the greatest severity. Despite recent advances on the molecular basis of elevated pathogenicity using recombinant proteins

Progress in stem cell research has revolutionized the medical field for more than two decades. More recently, the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has allowed for the development of advanced disease modeling and tissue engineering

CONCLUSIONS: Establishing the relationship between Covid-19 infection, ocular symptoms, and presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus on the ocular surface proves to be challenging. In Covid-19 patients, ocular symptoms did not warrant a positive conjunctival

In a convenience sample of 93 patients treated with monoclonal antibodies (moAbs) against SARS-CoV-2, the interleukin-6²/lymphocyte count ratio (IL-6²/LC) was able to predict clinical worsening both in early stages of COVID-19 and in oxygen-requiring

CONCLUSIONS: It is crucial to use predictors of influenza vaccination, such as how to use the media, for promoting a more widespread influenza vaccination uptake. The results of this study may be helpful in improving influenza vaccination rates

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) infections are initiated by the transmembrane spike (S) glycoprotein, which binds to host factors and fuses the viral and cell membranes. The N-terminal domain of the S1 subunit of IBV S protein binds to sialic acids

CONCLUSIONS: Having the most significant correlations, IL-6 high levels in mechanically ventilated patients were shown to affect laboratory results, and, therefore, is suggested as a severity biomarker of COVID-19.

The family Coronaviridae includes viruses with positive-sense RNA genomes of 22-36 kb that are expressed through a nested set of 3' co-terminal subgenomic mRNAs. Members of the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae are characterized by 80-160 nm diameter

Urban green space (UGS) provides multiple cultural ecosystem services (CES) and enhances people's physical and mental well-being. The importance of UGS was more critical during crisis periods such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, UGS has been
