BACKGROUND: To support healthcare workers (HCWs) during the increased burden caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, numerous recommendations for action and possible interventions have been developed. However, the actual protective factors, needs and
Although there are numerous brief odor identification tests available for quantifying the ability to smell, none are available in multiple parallel forms that can be longitudinally administered without potential confounding from knowledge of prior
CONCLUSION: Severe COVID-19 disease is associated with low total aerated lung volume and blood-volume in areas with GGO and overall aeration/blood volume ratios, and with high blood volume in normal lung areas. In this hypothesis-generating study
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that women with severe COVID-19 did not have SARS-CoV-2 in their vaginal fluids. Investigation of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in vaginal secretions may help in determining the risks of sexual transmission and vertical
BACKGROUND: Microvascular abnormalities and impaired gas transfer have been observed in patients with COVID-19. The progression of pulmonary changes in these patients remains unclear.
CONCLUSION: Overall SCA rates remained consistently higher and survival outcomes consistently lower, with exaggerated effects during COVID infection peaks. This longer evaluation uncovered higher increases in SCA incidence among Hispanics, with worse
We examine the extent to which exposure to higher relative COVID-19 mortality (RM), influences health system trust (HST), and whether changes in HST explain the perceived ease of compliance with pandemic restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic
