CONCLUSION: Lethal conditions, such as severe body weight loss and encephalopathy, can occur in Omicron-infected K18-hACE2 mice. Our study reports, for the first time, that Omicron can induce brain infection with lymphoid depletion in the mouse COVID
While research has widely explored stress, coping, and quality of life (QOL) individually and the potential links between them, a critical dearth exists in the literature regarding these constructs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our study
One hundred ninety-five patients presenting with post-COVID symptomology, including parosmia and dysgeusia, underwent reversible stellate ganglion blockade. Stellate ganglion blockade was performed at an outpatient facility, and patients were
COVID-19-associated arterial and venous thrombotic events are multifactorial in origin, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Intestinal ischemia due to thrombus is a rare manifestation of COVID infection. Here, we report the case of a
We report the direct comparison of monomeric, dimeric and trimeric RBD protein subunit vaccines to a virus-like particle (VLP) displaying RBD. After two and three doses, a RBD dimer and trimer elicited antibody levels in mice comparable to an RBD-VLP
CONCLUSION: This project presents an insight into several potentially long-lasting effects on surgical training. The recommendations generated may be applicable to trainees returning to work from time out of training, increasing the utility of this
Coronaviruses (CoV), including SARS-CoV-2, modulate host proteostasis pathways during infection through activation of stress-responsive signaling pathways such as the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR). The UPR regulates protein translation, increases
CONCLUSION: This study highlighted the lack of specific neuropathological alterations in COVID-19-infected patients. There is still no evidence of neurotropism for SARS-CoV-2 in our cohort or in the literature.
Viral infection in respiratory tract usually leads to cell death, impairing respiratory function to cause severe disease. However, the diversity of clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection increases the complexity and difficulty of viral
