CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis showed that calprotectin was elevated in patients with severe COVID-19, and this atypical inflammatory cytokine might serve as a useful biomarker to distinguish the severity of COVID-19 and predict the prognosis.

On August 31, 2023, the Chilean government ended the health alert for COVID-19. This milestone invites us to reflect on lessons learned in emergency preparedness and response regarding migrant populations in the country. In this context, three

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the use of face masks as a social distancing measure. Although evidence supports their effectiveness in preventing infection, it remains unclear why some adolescents choose to continue wearing them

CONCLUSIONS: Septoplasty, with or without turbinate reduction, is more effective than medical management with a nasal steroid and saline spray. Baseline severity predicts the degree of improvement in symptoms. Septoplasty has a low probability of

CONCLUSION: Antiplatelet therapy does not confer mortality benefit in COVID-19 patients but lowers major thrombotic events while increasing major bleeding risks. Ongoing large RCTs will provide more information on the therapeutic value of this

CONCLUSION: In patients with CAD complicated with COVID-19, a higher CAR level corresponded to a higher risk of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and respiratory failure death, while trends in NLR and PLR did not.

CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the multiplex RAT is useful for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 and Flu A/B, but more clinical studies are needed.
