PubMed COVID-19 Clinical Care

Following the emergence of B.1.1.529 Omicron, the virus evolved into a significant number of sublineage variants that possessed numerous mutations throughout the genome, but particularly within the spike glycoprotein (S) gene. For example, the BQ.1.1

Background Neutrophils are the first line of defense against pathogens. They are divided into multiple subpopulations during development and kill pathogens through various mechanisms. Neutrophils are considered one of the markers of severe COVID-19

CONCLUSIONS: Reinfections increased markedly during the Omicron wave. Younger individuals, and primary infections during earlier waves were associated with an increased reinfection risk compared to primary infections during more recent waves, whereas

A major challenge in creating universal influenza vaccines is to focus immune responses away from the immunodominant, variable head region of hemagglutinin (HA-head) and toward the evolutionarily conserved stem region (HA-stem). Here we introduce an

Purpose: To report 3 cases of retinopathy secondary to ritonavir use in the treatment of HIV. Methods: A retrospective review of patient records was performed for data including ophthalmic examination findings, demographic and HIV clinical

CONCLUSION: Several HCW in Nigeria take drugs to possibly prevent COVID-19. These medications may not offer significant protection against COVID-19. There is an urgent need to increase uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in HCW in Nigeria.

CONCLUSION: Our study confirms an independent association between underlying CKD and poor outcomes among hospitalized patients with COVID-19, including in-hospital death or discharge to hospice.

OBJECTIVES: Determine the economic cost or benefit of expanding electronic case reporting (eCR) for 29 reportable conditions beyond the initial eCR implementation for COVID-19 at an academic health center.

CONCLUSION: Restrictive measures for COVID-19 during the lockdown produced a declining trend of syphilis. It is unclear whether the observed decrease in number of STI cases was due to true decline, inadequate testing, underreporting, or avoidance of

CONCLUSION: The authors presented clinical mortality prediction factors for critically ill patients infected with COVID-19. Additional studies are necessary to identify more generalized mortality indicators for these patients in lower-middle-income
