CONCLUSION: Perioperative COVID-infection increases susceptibility to complicated wound healing after reconstructive breast surgery. A possible explanation lies in the dysregulation of haemostasis by the virus, and its direct effects on
The possible benefits of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on mechanical and clinical outcomes in patients with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) remain controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of IMT in the rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: A significant proportion of people report persistent COVID-19-related anosmia, hyposmia or parosmia, often accompanied with ageusia, hypogeusia or dysgeusia. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study that assessed the feasibility and
COVID-19 infection is associated with myocarditis, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference non-invasive imaging modality for myocardial tissue characterization. Quantitative CMR techniques, such as feature tracking (FT) and left
Since the peak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, concerns around multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens have increased. This study aimed to characterize aminoglycoside resistance genes in MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae (K
We previously reported the finding of symptom relief in a randomized controlled trial with the combined use of kakkonto and shosaikotokakikyosekko added to conventional treatment in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For further
Emerging variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2 can significantly reduce the prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of vaccines and neutralizing antibodies due to mutations in the viral genome. Targeting cell host factors required for infection provides a
A limited number of longitudinal studies have examined the symptoms associated with long-COVID-19. We conducted an assessment of symptom onset, severity and patient recovery, and determined the percentage of patients who experienced reinfection up to
