Filter by:Coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV2, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV can cause significant morbidity and mortality in infected persons. Lung is the most common site of infection for these viruses, which may manifest as acute respiratory distress syndrome and mortality. Pulmonary involvement is also responsible for the high viral transmission The aim of this study is to evaluate BAL in post-acute COVID-19 patients for:Cytological and cellular patterns. Microbial analysis for possibility of presence of bacterial, mycobacerial or fungal co-infection.PCR for corona virus
This is a prospective, randomized randomized immunologic study of response to influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination across four of the US Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness (Flu VE) Network study sites.
The aim of this study is to describe the baseline demographic, clinical characteristics, and Healthcare Resource Use (HCRU) of adult (≥18 years) COVID-19 patients who have been prescribed nirmatrelvir, ritonavir treatment.
Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) occurs as a sequelae after acute infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 infection). PCS is defined as symptom persistence over a period of 12 weeks from infection and/or the appearance of new symptoms in this period. While the majority of affected patients experience a gradual healing process without targeted treatment, the need for effective medical rehabilitation is high at least for patients with persistent PCS. Given that physical exercise has been shown to be beneficial in multiple pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases, neuropathic disorders, and pulmonary diseases it has been suggested that physical exercise including aerobic training could exert beneficial effects also in PCS. This study aims to analyse the use of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training for medical rehabilitation of PCS patients.
The goal of this randomized controlled double-blind parallel-group interventional trial is to evaluate the effects of of dietary supplementation with a pre-probiotic on patient- and clinician-reported outcomes, and brain tissue metabolism in patients with post-covid fatigue syndrome.
The main goal of this study was to understand the perceptions of nurses who cared for patients with Covid-19 at the onset of the pandemic in Northeast USA. Private interviews were held three times with each participant, over the period of 18 months. The interviews were examined for common themes and expressions used by nurses to describe such topics as their professional image, memories, and advise to other nurses.
COVID-19 infection was identified in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019 and turned into a pandemic in a short time. In our country, the pandemic continues at full speed and patients are being treated in various clinical pictures. In its clinical classification, the World Health Organization (WHO) divides COVID-19 disease into four stages: mild symptomatic disease, pneumonia, severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis and advanced stage with septic shock. Case reports and cross-sectional studies report a list of more than 200 different symptoms in the development of post COVID-19 syndrome. Shortness of breath, persistent smell and taste disturbances, fatigue and neuropsychological symptoms (headache, memory loss, slowed thinking, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances) are the most commonly reported symptoms. Musculoskeletal symptoms such as pain (myalgia), muscle weakness, arthralgia and fatigue are also common. Exercise endurance tests are used to predict the prognosis of the disease in chronic lung diseases, to determine functional exercise capacity, to evaluate the response of the disease to treatment and to interpret the results of clinical trials. Covid-19-induced lung infections and long periods of isolation may have negative effects on respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function values and physical activity level. It has been reported that only one week of bed rest can cause serious muscle loss of up to 20%. Covid-19 infection increases the likelihood of asthma-like symptoms. In some cases, pneumonia and increased dyspnea are also seen. When volleyball players with Covid-19 infection were examined, respiratory muscle strength and fev1/fvc values were lower than expected. When looking at the interaction between infections and sleep, it was observed that different infections had different effects on sleep, with some infections increasing the amount of sleep while others decreased it. The increase in inflammatory mediators associated with systemic infection is thought to increase the amount of REM sleep and total sleep duration, perhaps in an effort to conserve energy and counteract infection. Some infections have a negative effect on the immune system, reducing the amount of sleep. Covid infection is also thought to have negative effects on sleep. The symptoms of COVID-19 in the chronic phase can further negatively affect physiological, psychological and social outcomes, physical activity and ultimately muscle performance and quality. Post-infection physical function and fitness can worsen even two years after the disease. In COVID-19 patients recovering 3 months after hospital discharge, limitations were mainly related to reduced muscle mass, low oxidative capacity or both, rather than cardiac or respiratory exercise limitation. Symptoms experienced during Covid-19 infection are thought to have negative effects on exercise endurance. In order to meet the metabolic needs of the musculoskeletal system muscles during exercise, cardiac output, ventilation, pulmonary and systemic blood flow, oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in a way to maintain acid-base balance and oxygenation, and their compatible response to each other are required. Exercise endurance assessments are an important parameter to determine the functional level of the patient. Eighty-eight percent of individuals with Covid-19 infection showed a decrease in respiratory muscle strength in the evaluation performed 5 months later. The direct effect of respiratory muscles may cause permanent dyspnea problems. Muscle strength, exercise capacity, dyspnea perception, fatigue severity perception, pain, balance, kinesiophobia, psychosocial and cognitive status, quality of life should be routinely evaluated in the post-COVID-19 period in patients admitted to the clinic, and a targeted functional rehabilitation program should be prepared in the light of these evaluations, taking these parameters into consideration during the rehabilitation process.
To compare the results obtained by analysis of a self-collected anterior nasal (AN) swab as part of the Labcorp COVID-19+Flu+RSV Test Home Collection Kit to a healthcare provider (HCP)-collected AN swab in patients with symptoms of viral respiratory infection consistent with influenza A (Flu A), influenza B (Flu B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and/or SARS-CoV-2 (C-19).
