A usual practice in medicine is to search for "biomarkers" which are measurable quantities of a normal or abnormal biological process. Biomarkers can be biochemical or physical quantities of the body and although commonly used statistically in
CONCLUSION: After adjusting for patient characteristics/comorbidities, hemophilia increased bleeding risk with COVID-19 but did not protect against severe disease and VTE.
Immediate hypersensitivity reactions to vaccines, the most severe of which is anaphylaxis, are uncommon events occurring in less than 1 in a million doses administered. These reactions are infrequently IgE-mediated. Since they are unlikely to recur
CONCLUSION: The findings associated with recovery and convalescence define a new signature of cellular immune response that persists in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. The findings will help in providing a better understanding
An unprecedented mucormycosis outbreak occurred in India during the second COVID-19 wave in spring 2021. COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) was observed, mainly rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM), in patients with poorly controlled
Anti-ovarian antibodies (AOAs) have been linked to autoimmune premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). This report details a case in which a patient experienced transient POI after a COVID-19 infection and tested positive for AOA. After treatment with
CONCLUSION: These findings shed light on mental health interventions for people exposed to or infected with COVID-19 near the beginning of the pandemic, particularly those who themselves had COVID or had family members with COVID-19 risk exposure
Papain-like protease (PL^(pro)) is a promising therapeutic target against SARS-CoV-2, but its restricted S1/S2 subsites pose an obstacle in developing active site-directed inhibitors. We have recently identified C270 as a novel covalent allosteric
CONCLUSION: In addition to facilitating self-directed learning and easing loneliness during the pandemic, evidence-based strategies to build up resilience among adolescents are critical to buffer against the adverse socioeconomic and psychosocial
