BACKGROUND: Cardiac function of critically ill patients with COVID-19 generally has been reported from clinically obtained data. Echocardiographic deformation imaging can identify ventricular dysfunction missed by traditional echocardiographic

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has a specific interaction with the coronavirus spike protein, enabling its entry into human cells. This membrane enzyme converts angiotensin II into angiotensin 1-7, which has an essential role in protecting

CONCLUSION: Vascular biomarkers, mostly VCAM-1 and Ang-2/Ang-1 ratio, showed better efficiency to predict need for hemodialysis in critically-ill COVID-19 patients.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the relevance of goods delivery in urban areas. However, this activity often generates negative environmental impact and several technologies have been proposed in recent years to reduce it, thus forming a

CONCLUSION: The testing and cohorting protocol limited the spread of COVID-19 among residential summer wilderness campers and staff. Post-arrival testing ensured newly acquired virus was limited in spread before COVID-19 precautions were relaxed on

Interleukins (ILs) are a group of multifunctional cytokines, which play important roles in immune regulations and inflammatory responses. Recently, IL-6 has been found to affect the development of COVID-19, and significantly elevated levels of IL-6

CONCLUSION: In this large cohort of KTR under centralized follow-up, more than twofold excess mortality was primarily driven by COVID-19-related deaths, highlighting the vulnerability of this population to the most severe presentation of SARS-CoV-2

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are revolutionizing human activities in various fields, with medicine and infectious diseases being not exempt from their rapid and exponential growth. Furthermore, the field of explainable AI

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, a 2-year, personalized, multidomain intervention led to modest improvements in cognition, dementia risk factors, and QOL. Modifiable risk-reduction strategies should be considered for
