PubMed COVID-19 Clinical Care

In the past several years, the coronavirus pandemic has introduced multiple medical disciplines to various new forms of disease previously unknown and has shown us a unique presentation of already existing diseases. We continue to understand the long

Pulmonary surfactant (PS), a complex mixture of lipids and proteins, is essential for maintaining proper lung function. It reduces surface tension in the alveoli, preventing collapse during expiration and facilitating re-expansion during inspiration

In this article, we discuss the recent observation by Augusto et al. made using a novel mobile phone application-based COVID-19 Citizen Science Study that an HLA genetic variant, HLA-B*15:01, is associated with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. To

Bivalent COVID-19 vaccines that contain BA.1 or BA.4/BA.5 have been introduced worldwide in response to pandemic waves of Omicron subvariants. This prospective cohort study was aimed to compare neutralizing antibodies (Nabs) against Omicron

In the 20th century, research focused on cholesterol and lipoproteins as the key mechanism in establishing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Given that some studies demonstrated subclinical atherosclerosis in subjects without

Lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis contribute to morbidity and mortality, and, in particular, are characterized as leading cause on confirmed COVID-19 death. To date, efficient therapeutic approach for such lung diseases is lacking. N

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for various physiological functions, including immunity. While it has been suggested that higher vitamin D levels/supplementation are associated with a better immune response to COVID-19 vaccination, conflicting

CONCLUSION: Through this nationwide serial cross-sectional survey study, we emphasized the need for understanding the differential impacts of global crises, such as COVID-19, across varied population subgroups, thereby highlighting the importance of

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has evolved to give rise to a highly transmissive and immune-escaping variant of concern, known as Omicron. Many aspects of the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and the driving forces behind the

Upper respiratory tract infections are a significant cause of social- and disease burden worldwide. Currently, invasive and uncomfortable molecular detection methods are used for respiratory pathogen detection. We aimed to assess the ability and
