CONCLUSION: In our retrospective multi-center cohort, prolongation of duration of anticoagulation seems not to affect risk of VTE recurrences, deaths and bleeding after a PE related to COVID-19.
Understanding the polymorphism of lipids in solution is the key to the development of intracellular delivery systems. Here, we study the dynamics of poly(ethylene glycol)-lipid (PEG-Lipid) conjugates aiming at a better understanding of their
CONCLUSION: By opportunistically leveraging existing COVID-19 screening in South Africa to screen for diabetes and hypertension, 22% of participants received a potential new diagnosis. We had poor linkage-to-care following screening. Future research
CONCLUSION: Previously undiagnosed OSA was common among hospitalized patients who survived the acute phase of COVID-19. The degree of OSA was associated with the severity of respiratory failure.
Dysregulation of host metabolism is a feature of lethal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Perturbations in α-ketoglutarate levels can elicit metabolic reprogramming through 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (2-ODDGs), leading to stabilization of the
CONCLUSIONS: Although prior PPI use might not have significant impact on clinical course and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infection, it may predispose development of complications like higher occurrence of Cdiff, and thus substantially impact the course
BACKGROUND: Recent trials have highlighted the potential of oral antiviral VV116 in the treatment of patients with mild COVID-19. However, no comprehensive studies have assessed the safety and efficacy of VV116. Therefore, we conducted a systematic
Immunization strategies are part of routine pregnancy care to prevent infectious diseases in the mother, the fetus, and the newborn. Maternal immunization recommendations followed the recognition of the consequences of infectious diseases in
