Previously, we and others have shown that SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific IgG antibodies play a major role in disease severity in COVID-19 by triggering macrophage hyperactivation, disrupting endothelial barrier integrity, and inducing thrombus formation
CONCLUSIONS: In sum, we observed some negative impact of the pandemic on maternal mental health. The lockdown might have contributed to an increase in the number of cases involving AD in the postpartum period. The prevalence of PPD (ca. 6-10%), on
CONCLUSION: This study described our first experience with the Da Vinci Robotic System in our department. The curves had a similar shape which shows the learning curve of robotic surgery using the CUSUM method is reproducible. Furthermore, our
The heterogeneity of the SARS-CoV-2 immune responses has become considerably more complex over time and diverse immune imprinting is observed in vaccinated individuals. Despite vaccination, following the emergence of the Omicron variant, some
mRNA vaccines encoding a single spike protein effectively prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants leads to a wide range of immune evasion. Herein, a unique
CONCLUSION: This is the first study reporting an increased number of TINU during the COVID-19 pandemic. With most of the American population now exposed to COVID-19, a large multi-center epidemiological study would be helpful to investigate any
CONCLUSIONS: The study underlines the need to promote knowledge about tuberculosis, particularly among chronic patients, socially vulnerable and refugees, especially in light of the pandemic and emerging economic problems in the region.
