PubMed COVID-19 Clinical Care

Since the first report of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Iran, our country has experienced several waves of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Northern Iran was one of the most affected regions of the

The detection of pathogens is critical for clinical diagnosis and public health surveillance. Detection is usually done with nucleic acid-based tests (NATs) and rapid antigen tests (e.g., lateral flow assays [LFAs]). Although NATs are more sensitive

CONCLUSIONS: Changing to online OSCEs during the pandemic was related to an increase in scores for some but not all domains of the tests. This is in line with a nascent body of literature on medical teaching and examination following the start of the

CONCLUSION: The AEL-KN95 with hook and sponge at the nosepiece is an effective respirator for use by HCPs in non-AGPs, as the FF and fit test pass rates were comparable to those of N95, and there were no differences in FFs between facial sizes

CONCLUSION: Stigma reduction interventions have a pronounced effect on enhancing help-seeking behaviors among university students, even during times of crisis. This study advocates for prioritizing stigma reduction in academic settings, highlighting

CONCLUSION: Insomnia severity and prevalence of clinical insomnia are high in patients with post-COVID-19 fatigue. Insomnia should be assessed and if present treated with insomnia focused therapy.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 vaccines used in humans are highly effective in limiting disease and death caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, yet improved vaccines that provide greater protection at mucosal surfaces, which could reduce break-through infections and

CONCLUSION: Optimal and clinically applied PEEP were lower in the dexamethasone and dexamethasone + tocilizumab groups. The results suggest that the potential beneficial effects of these therapies do not affect lung mechanics favorably. However, this

CONCLUSION: Age and supplementary oxygen days were independently associated with CMBs; COVID-19 status showed no association. Accumulation of risk factors in the ICU group may explain the higher prevalence of CMBs.

The U-shaped and Transformer architectures have achieved exceptional performance in medical image segmentation and natural language processing, respectively. Their combination has also led to remarkable results but still suffers from enormous loss of
