INTRODUCTION: Social media platforms played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to explore: (1) the changes in social media consumption patterns, physical activity levels/sedentary behavior, and depressive symptoms, and (2)

At the end of 2021, we observed an increase in N-gene target failures (NGTF) with the TaqPathTM COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific (TaqPath). We subsequently used whole-genome sequencing (Oxford Nanopore Technology) to identify

CONCLUSION: COVID-19 may accelerate the development and progression of SSc by intensifying fibrosis through the upregulation of inflammation, autoantibody production, and thrombosis.

CONCLUSIONS: The various strains of SARS-CoV-2 triggered MIS-C with differing severities, with the second wave having a more severe clinical course. Whether the differences in disease severity across variants were due to changes in the virus or other

CONCLUSION: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were 8,162 fewer scheduled hernia repairs than expected, longer wait-times until surgery, shorter length-of-stay, and more patients with comorbidities, but outcomes were not worse compared with the pre

CONCLUSION: We report a novel SNP (A > G, rs13057211) in the GT(n) region of HMOX-1 promoter gene that was associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients, however no significant difference was found in HMOX-1 serum level or HMOX-1 (GT)n repeats

CONCLUSIONS: We found increases in median weekly adolescent inpatient visits with an STI diagnosis in summer and fall COVID-19 (2020). These findings were likely partially driven by changes in behaviors or health care access. Further work is needed

The extensive use of biocide surfactant benzalkonium chloride (BAC) during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to the buildup of this hazardous chemical in waste, surface and groundwater. e The study aims to elucidate whether various low-cost household

During the initial diagnosis of urgent medical conditions, which include acute infectious diseases, it is important to assess the severity of the patient's clinical state as quickly as possible. Unlike individual biochemical or physiological

The coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 has turned into a pandemic causing a global public health crisis. While acute COVID-19 mainly affects the respiratory system and can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, an association with persistent
