CONCLUSION: The seroconversion rate in LTR vaccinated with at least two doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine could be significantly affected by the vaccine type, immunosuppressant used, BMI, leukopenia, associated comorbidities, and time since
Knowledge of the fitness effects of mutations to SARS-CoV-2 can inform assessment of new variants, design of therapeutics resistant to escape, and understanding of the functions of viral proteins. However, experimentally measuring effects of
BACKGROUND: Burnout has become a serious public health issue worldwide, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Functional connectome impairments associated with occupational burnout were widely distributed, involving both low-level sensorimotor
Bats (order Chiroptera) are a major reservoir for emerging and re-emerging zoonotic viruses. Their tolerance toward highly pathogenic human viruses led to the hypothesis that bats may possess an especially active antiviral interferon (IFN) system
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the protective impact midwifery continuity of care has on reducing anxiety in women during the pandemic, and that the home environment can either be secure and safe or a place of isolation.
CONCLUSIONS: Frailty was associated with an increased risk of developing PASC. Vaccination was associated with a decreased risk of PASC, further reduced by booster doses. Early recognition of frailty in patients with COVID-19 may assist in the early
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate the immune response differences and immune characteristic similarities, such as the cytokine storm, between COVID-19 and SLE, which might pivotally function in the pathogenesis of the two diseases and provide
CONCLUSIONS: This research provides unique insight on the effects the COVID-19 pandemic had on family medicine in Canada. These results provide insights on the needs and information gaps of family physicians in a public health crisis and can inform
Stroke associated with COVID-19 has been characterised in several multicentre retrospective studies and meta-analyses. However, they did not distinguish first-ever ischemic strokes (F-AIS). Therefore, we aimed to study the incidence, clinical
