CONCLUSION: The impact of changes in SPECT counts and reconstruction parameters is almost linear when dosimetry is based on isolated SPECT images, but less pronounced when dosimetry is based on sequential SPECTs.

Predicting COVID-19 severity is difficult, and the biological pathways involved are not fully understood. To approach this problem, we measured 4701 circulating human protein abundances in two independent cohorts totaling 986 individuals. We then

CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that laryngologic symptoms are expected to be worse in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Dyspnea and cough symptoms can be expected to persist or even worsen by 1-year post infection in those who were hospitalized

CONCLUSION: Although our study was designed retrospectively and reflects regional data, it is important to determine that low lymphocyte count and RDW-CV can be used in the diagnosis of COVID-19 in primary care.

BACKGROUND: Short-term ambient ozone exposure has been shown to have an adverse impact on endothelial function, contributing to major cardiovascular diseases and premature death. However, only limited studies have focused on the impact of short-term

Long COVID is a clinical diagnosis generally referring to the persistence or development of new symptoms, affecting multiple organ systems after SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 infection. Long COVID is thought to affect ∼20% of people after infection, including

CONCLUSION: Following confinement, cognition continued to decline, but NPS demonstrated either stability or improvement. This highlights the role modifiable risk factors may have on the progression of NPS.

OBJECTIVE: Chronic mental and physical fatigue and post-exertional malaise are the more debilitating symptoms of long COVID-19. The study objective was to explore factors contributing to exercise intolerance in long COVID-19 to guide development of

Previous research has demonstrated that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) gains cell entry through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor, which is abundantly found throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract

CONCLUSIONS: Building upon the lessons of the pandemic, it is timely to address the specific infection prevention and control needs of the ED environment to improve FPE compliance during non-outbreak situations.
