PubMed COVID-19 Clinical Care

During the COVID-19 pandemic, people used personal protective equipment (PPE) to lessen the spread of the virus. The release of microplastics (MPs) from discarded PPE is a new threat to the long-term health of the environment and poses challenges

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly highlighted the detrimental effect of secondary pathogens in patients with a primary viral insult. In addition to superinfections with bacterial pathogens, invasive fungal infections were increasingly reported

Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have decreased severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections, but the underlying cause is unknown. Patients with CF have high levels of neutrophil elastase (NE) in the airway. We examined whether respiratory epithelial

Comprehensive elucidation of humoral immune responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and vaccination is critical for understanding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pathogenesis in general and developing

CONCLUSION: Proven VTE incidence in this severe COVID-19 cohort was 7.7%, despite 87% of them complying completely with VTE prophylaxis. The clinician must be aware of the diagnosis of VTE in COVID-19, even in patients receiving proper prophylaxis.

CONCLUSIONS: Adults at high risk of severe COVID-19 illness were disproportionately more likely to be physically inactive and exhibit lower MET-min levels than adults at low risk during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the experiences of midwives in Indonesia on the provision of maternal health services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this paper, a series of peptidomimetic SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors with new P2 and P4 positions were synthesized and evaluated. Among these compounds, 1a and 2b exhibited obvious 3CL^(pro) inhibitory activities with IC(50) of 18.06 nM and

CONCLUSIONS: Simulation is deeply embedded into diagnostic radiography and radiation therapy education. Evidence suggests that the growth of simulation may be slowing. Opportunities exist for the development of guidance, training and best practice

CONCLUSION: There is an increase in testicular stiffness in males who have recovered from COVID-19 infection. The underlying cause of testicular damage is changes at the cellular level. The 2D-SWE technique can predict potential testicular
