Background: Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation is a mechanism that neutrophils possess to respond to host infection or inflammation. However, dysregulation of NETosis has been implicated in many disease processes. Although the exact
The extent to which dengue virus has been circulating globally and especially in Africa is largely unknown. Testing available blood samples from previous cross-sectional serological surveys offers a convenient strategy to investigate past dengue
CONCLUSION: This study reported similar clinical features of COVID-19 in our cohort with that of non-hematological malignancy (HM) patients, while the proportion of severe/critical COVID-19 and the mortality rate were relatively higher than non-HM
Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a widely used measure that captures somatic symptoms of coronavirus-related anxiety. In a large-scale collaboration spanning 60 countries (N(total) = 21,513), we examined the CAS's measurement invariance and
CONCLUSIONS: Reduced DC (≤ 2.5 ms) was significantly associated with older age, increased inflammatory markers, and elevated ferritin in patients with COVID-19. These findings suggest that DC might serve as a valuable indicator for predicting the
CONCLUSIONS: This nomogram, based on twelve-variable, could potentially serve as a practical and reliable tool for early identification of poor sleep quality among older adults during the post-pandemic period.
CONCLUSION: CysC is an essential evaluation indicator for COVID-19 patients' prognosis. AST*CysC and LDH*CysC have superior predictive value to CysC for SKM, RM, and death, and optimal classification for RM.
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid policy changes to address new demands on disability service systems. A statewide survey of families of people who received Medicaid funded home- and community-based (HCBS) long-term services and supports (LTSS
