CONCLUSION: Older age, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the presence of at least one comorbidity were associated with increased mortality in patients with endocrine diseases who were infected with COVID-19 in our study.
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, this review builds upon the current literature of COVID-19-induced A-fib, including pathophysiology, clinical presentation, treatment and complications. Furthermore, it provides recommendations for future research moving
Novel genetic associations for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) risk have been identified. Common genetic variants associated with IPF are also associated with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. The characterization of underlying mechanisms
The state-of-the-art SARS-CoV-2 detection methods include qRT-PCR and antibody-based lateral flow assay (LFA) point-of-care tests. Despite the high sensitivity and selectivity, qRT-PCR is slow, expensive and needs well-trained operators. On the other
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with 83% of ARI mortality occurring in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) before the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to estimate the effect
CONCLUSIONS: The participants of this study reported changes in the duration and severity of non-SARS-CoV-2 RIs after recovering from COVID-19. Further research is needed to confirm these findings, which suggest a need for swift action to protect the
CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly decreased lung cancer screening volume and new enrollment in our urban inner-city program. Screening volumes demonstrated a parabolic curve reflecting pandemic surges following the initial wave, unlike
