This study examined predictors of individual general deviance (i.e., substance use, risk-taking, property crime, and interpersonal conflict/violence) within the context of COVID-19, focusing on the role of prior deviance, opportunities for crime, and
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many cases of infection and deaths worldwide. Patients with cancer are a high-risk group for COVID-19-related death. However, a systematic summary of the prognostic factors related to mortality in
CONCLUSIONS: We found that viral reactivation, mostly due to Herpesviridae, was associated with increased risk of both bacteremia and mortality. In addition, pronation and intubation are strong predictors of bacteremia, which in turn together with
CONCLUSIONS: In 158 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure evaluated for suspected PE, 40.8% patients had a positive CTA. We identified clinical predictors of PE and mortality from PE, which may help with early identification and
The COVID-19 vaccinations are crucial in protecting against the global pandemic. However, accumulating studies revealed the severely blunted COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in cancer patients. The PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy
CONCLUSION: The performance of Ag-RDTs was optimized when asymptomatic participants tested 3 times at 48-hour intervals and when symptomatic participants tested 2 times separated by 48 hours.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that prior COVID-19 infection is a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes after autologous breast reconstruction. Patients with a history of COVID-19 have 183% higher odds of postoperative thromboembolic events
Critical illnesses cause several million deaths annually, with many of these occurring in low-resource settings like Kenya. Great efforts have been made worldwide to scale up critical care to reduce deaths from COVID-19. Lower income countries with
CONCLUSIONS: TM and HN are feasible ways to reach parents/guardians of kindergarten through 12th-grade students to provide COVID-19 screening messages. Strategies to improve engagement may strengthen the impact of the intervention.
