BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic is suspected to have affected cancer care and outcomes among patients in Canada. In this study, we evaluated the impact of the state of emergency period during the COVID-19 pandemic (Mar. 17 to June 15, 2020) on
SARS-CoV-2 enters the respiratory tract where it infects the alveoli epithelial lining. However, patients have sequelae that extend well beyond the alveoli into the pulmonary vasculature and perhaps beyond to brain and other organs. Because of the
The emergence of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has generated a pandemic that has plunged the world into a health crisis. The infection process is triggered by the direct binding of the receptor-binding domain
Although the numbers of SARS-CoV-2 infections and related deaths are relatively low in sub-Saharan Africa, the pandemic might lead to a high indirect death toll there. We determined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of
CONCLUSION: In critically ill patients with COVID-19, lower energy and higher protein intake were respectively associated with fewer MV days and, in patients with obesity, fewer antibiotic days, but they had no effect on ICU LOS.
CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to implement intervention strategies to minimize the impact of hate speech, which continues to be used on many levels to harass others, justify violence or undermine rights, generating an environment of prejudice and
CONCLUSION: Individuals with SSD and/or DL had greater disease severity and longer ICU and hospital stays when compared to those without SSD and/or DL. This reinforces the importance of screening for consciousness disorders in the ICU.
CONCLUSIONS: People with PCOS were more adversely affected by COVID-19 restrictions, which may worsen their clinical features and disease burden. Additional health care support may be necessary to assist people with PCOS to meet dietary and physical
