Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of hypoxemic respiratory failure in intensive care units that has increased dramatically as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In both COVID-19 and non-COVID ARDS, the pathogenesis of lung
CONCLUSION: S protein behaves both as a pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulant stimulus in human monocytes and endothelial cells. Interfering with the receptors or signaling pathways evoked by the S protein may help preventing immune and vascular
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that genetical predisposition to reduced kidney function may represent a risk factor for COVID-19. However, a consistent and significant effect of COVID-19 on kidney function was not identified in this study.
Systematic monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 co-infections between different lineages and assessing the risk of intra-host recombinant emergence are crucial for forecasting viral evolution. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of more than 2 million SARS
For the rheumatologist, one of the greatest challenges since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been determining which of our patients are at greatest risk for severe COVID-19, and who should be triaged for aggressive
Current estimates of fungal disease incidence and mortality are imprecise. Population at risk denominators were used to estimate annual incidence for 2019-21. Extensive literature searches from 2010 to 2023 were combined with over 85 papers on
CONCLUSION: the three NUTRIC variants studied discriminate mortality in a similar way. However, the NUTRICm, without an inflammatory biomarker, classifies more patients as high nutritional risk.
The present study aims to provide an insight to the comprehensive efforts of Pasteur Institute of Iran (PII) regarding COVID-19 management, research, achievements, and vaccine production, though there are many challenges. The relevant literature
