Filter by:In the retrospective case series, consecutive COVID-19 patients admitted from June 1 to December 31, 2020, were analyzed. A 1:1 matched cohort was created by propensity score-matched analysis. Demographic data, laboratory findings, comorbidities, treatments, and in-hospital outcomes were collected and compared between COVID-19 patients with and without statin use.
Length of hospitalization for COVID-19 infection may be increased due to the persistence of fatigue in 29-46% of cases. Its management is essential to prevent the chronic fatigue . Chronic fatigue syndrome affected between 30 and 40% of patients with SARS in 2003 or MERS in 2005 and persisted beyond 3 years. There is currently no specific treatment for acute or <4 months asthenia. To avoid the transition to chronicity, some authors recommend respecting a long rest period. However, a program combining adapted physical activity and therapeutic patient education has already shown significant benefits for combating recent or semi-recent fatigue following a cardiovascular pathology and even during cancer treatments. Therefore, the existing care pathway for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was adapted, combining exercise training and therapeutic patient education workshops.
Taking a regional hospital as an example, the investigators will discuss the changes in the community cumulative incidence rate(CIR) and the epidemic prevention effect of using Chinese medicine during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Main purpose: Retrospective case study to explore the effect of traditional Chinese medicine on the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. Secondary purpose: If there are related side effects after taking Chinese medicine.
Oklahoma has high COVID-19 incidence, particularly among underserved minority and rural Oklahomans. Oklahoman's are also reporting SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hesitancy and signs of slowing vaccine uptake, with increased hesitancy among American Indian and rural populations. The project aims to work with ongoing community testing events to implement interventions to improve vaccine uptake among Oklahoma's underserved populations.
Hypotheses: 1. Severe new-onset headache after Covid-19 vaccine occur in a minor subset of vaccinated individuals. 2. Immunological reactivity with activation of trigeminal nociceptors can be among the mechanisms in severe headaches after Covid-19 vaccines. 3. Biomarkers in blood and CSF and imaging findings can be used to assess severe new-onset headache after Covid-19 vaccines. The main aim of the project is to describe the characteristics of severe new-onset headache after Covid vaccine and the treatment effects. Secondary aim: 1. Investigate potential mechanisms and analyse biomarkers to predict treatment effects. 2. To assess at baseline and 6-month follow-up the rate of brain MRI pathology. 3. To assess the change xof brain 18F-FDG PET metabolism from baseline and 6-month follow-up 4. To assess the levels of brain specific biomarkers 5. To assess the level of blood specific biomarkers Duration of Study participation: - Enrollment: 24 months - Follow-up: at 3 and 6 months after inclusion. For those with continued severe headache regular 3-month controls are planned during the study. Total study duration 24 months
The glycocalyx is a membrane coat composed of glycoproteins attached to the surface of cell membranes. Recent publications have drawn attention to the potential role of a degradation of the endothelial glycocalyx (a kind of gel that lines all the vessels of the body) during the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - coronavirus 2) epidemic. The work of Yamaoka-Tojo et al. reveals vascular endothelial dysfunction in patients at high risk for developing a severe form of COVID 19. This observation prompts further investigation of vascular endothelial function in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients, and particularly those with long COVID. As of the end of the first COVID-19 epidemic wave in May 2020, persistence of symptoms several weeks or months after the first manifestations of COVID-19 was described in more than 20% of patients after 5 weeks and in more than 10% after 3 months). The term "long COVID" describes this phenomenon of prolonged symptoms following COVID-19. The French National Authority for Health has established criteria to identify people with prolonged symptoms after an initial episode of clinically and/or biologically documented COVID-19: an initial symptomatic episode, the presence of at least one of the initial symptoms beyond 4 weeks after the onset of the acute phase of the disease, and initial and prolonged symptoms not explained by another diagnosis not known to be related to COVID-19. Among the observations reported in patients with long COVID, ophthalmic involvement is poorly described. A team of ophthalmologists of the Rothschild Foundation has demonstrated (using indocyanine green angiography, adaptive optics and optical coherence tomography techniques) disorders of the choroidal circulation, with abnormalities of the vascular walls, presence of "pachyvessels" and "caverns", in COVID-positive patients hospitalized at 6 months of their hospitalization.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the FreeO2 system on the quality of the oxygen therapy in confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 patients in the emergency department.
Background: CT has been used on a massive scale to help identify and investigate suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 pneumonia. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of the chest findings MSCT of Covid-19 patients and to determine if prognosis can rely on the initial CT imaging. Methods: The study design was retrospective cohort study. It was carried out on 300 patients presented to the chest outpatient clinics in Benha university hospitals and Elabbasyia chest hospital with clinical picture suggestive of COVID 19 infection. The CT finding were then compared to the short-term clinical outcome of the patients (1-3weeks), acquired from the hospital patient data archive. According to the progression of the respiratory symptoms (include; dyspnea, respiratory rate and O2 saturation), the short-term clinical outcome of the patients was classified into 4 groups; Group A: (mild cases), Group B: (moderate cases), Group C: (sever cases), and Group D: (fatality cases).
An expanded access program for sotrovimab administered intravenously to participants with COVID-19 illness who meet current authorized/approved criteria for use of sotrovimab.
The aim of this study is to determine whether a community-informed, linguistically and culturally tailored educational program delivered via mobile phone is effective in improving vaccination behaviors among Latino families. Thus we evaluate a community-based mobile phone intervention (mivacunaLA) to assess if there is an increase in vaccination rates among 12-17 year old children and willingness to vaccinate 2-11year old children who have not been previously vaccinated who reside in high-risk and low resourced neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
