Global spreading of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants, such as BA.4, BA.5, and XBB.1.5, has been leading the recent wave of COVID-19. Unique mutations in the spike proteins in these emerging Omicron subvariants caused immune evasion from the pre
BACKGROUND: The relative contributions of long-term care (LTC) resident frailty and home-level characteristics on COVID-19 mortality has not been well studied. We examined the association between resident frailty and home-level characteristics with
CONCLUSION: Age, critical severity status of infection, having symptoms of infection, having a history of headaches, and being diabetic had statistically significant effects on time to recovery among COVID-19 patients admitted to the treatment
In this study, an internet of things (IoT)-enabled fuzzy intelligent system is introduced for the remote monitoring, diagnosis, and prescription of treatment for patients with COVID-19. The main objective of the present study is to develop an
Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (CVAD) is a malfunction of the cardiovascular system caused by deranged autonomic control of circulatory homeostasis. CVAD is an important component of post-COVID-19 syndrome, also termed long COVID, and might
