The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on patients with pre-existing chronic liver diseases (CLD) remains elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the in-hospital mortality in patients
CONCLUSIONS: In PLWH aged <65 years a CD4 ≤350 rather than HIV itself seems the driver for the observed higher risk of in-hospital mortality. We cannot however rule out that HIV-infection per se is the risk factor in those aged ≥65 years.
Detection of RNA targets is typically achieved through RT-qPCR or RNAseq. RT-qPCR is rapid but limited in number and complexity of targets detected, while RNAseq is high-throughput but takes multiple days. We demonstrate simultaneous amplification
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to pre-pandemic, the odds of not receiving adequate prenatal care in South Carolina was increased by 10% for White women and 26% for Black women during the pandemic, highlighting the needs to develop individual tailored
CONCLUSIONS: RAO and RVO rarely occurred within 60 days of COVID-19 diagnosis or vaccination. We observed no increase in the hazard ratio of RVO and RAO relative to COVID-19 or COVID-19 vaccination except for a possible increase in the RAO hazard
Reported vascular complications following mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are consisting of myocarditis, cerebral venous thrombosis, cerebral vascular thrombosis, and vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia. Here, we describe a case of a 49-year-old woman with
