Background: Elderly individuals represent one of the populations most affected by COVID-19, exhibiting high vulnerability to malnutrition, sarcopenia, and poor clinical outcomes. The association between nutritional status and disease progression high...
This study examined the relationship between trust in COVID-19 information sources and self-rated health (SRH) among Latino Day Laborers (LDLs) and whether mental health mediated this association. Participants (N = 300) recruited at 18 job-seeking lo...
Objectives: Neurodivergent (ND) individuals (e.g., autistic people) are more likely to experience health problems that are characterised by ‘Central Sensitisation’ (CS). Recent research suggests that a so-called ‘Long-COVID’ s...
This study examines how the explanations about school violence are constructed in Chilean online newspapers after the country—which had the longest period of school closures—returned to in-person classes. During early 2022, several compla...
The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that its effects go far beyond the initial respiratory illness, with many survivors experiencing lasting neurological problems. Some patients develop a condition known as Long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SA...
Importance: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was the third leading cause of mortality in the United States for three years in a row. The genetic contributions to disease severity remain unclear and many previously identified single nucleotide...
Efforts have been made to develop a case definition for Long COVID, with results differing on whether the case definition should be specific and exclusive, or broad and easily generalizable. Each of these methods has been subject to limitations. As m...
Background: This study aimed to assess whether methylprednisolone treatment, while effective in reducing COVID-19 mortality, increases the risk of intensive-care-unit-acquired respiratory tract infections (RTI-ICU) in critically ill patients. Methods...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, disrupts human cellular pathways through complex protein–protein interaction, contributing to disease progression. As the virus has evolved, emerging variants have exhibited differences in transmi...
Saliva specimens are widely used for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing using RT-qPCR due to their advantages over nasopharyngeal swabs of being non-invasive and self-collectable. However, saliva collection can be time-consuming in individua...
