The three main theories explaining major mental illness, namely mood disorders, psychoses and dementias, have been partially discredited. Alongside this, there are emerging links between perturbations of the immune system and the onset and phenotypic
CONCLUSIONS: During the COVID-19 pandemic the sickest cohort of patients was those receiving an explicit ICD-10 code of sepsis + a COVID-19 diagnosis. A significant percentage of COVID-19 diagnosis-only patients appear to have been under-coded as

Extracellular trap networks (neutrophil extracellular traps [NETs]) of polymorphonuclear neutrophils are mesh-like substances that prevent the spread of pathogens. They primarily consist of DNA skeletons, histones, granule components, and cytoplasmic
CONCLUSIONS: In patients diagnosed with unilateral acute foot drop without an etiological cause, one should keep in mind that spontaneous resolution of this condition can occur within one year period.
CONCLUSIONS: Isolated CN6 palsy from COVID-19 is rare, can occur in infants as young as 7 months, and can be recurrent. Longer latency from systemic symptoms onset portends greater recovery times, and this relationship may reflect multiple mechanisms
CONCLUSIONS: This survey found that barriers to HCWs' adherence to IPAC practices during the COVID-19 pandemic were different in LTC/AL settings compared to acute care. Improvement efforts should focus on strengthening IPAC programs in LTC/AL
Currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants have acquired convergent mutations at hot spots in the receptor-binding domain¹ (RBD) of the spike protein. The effects of these mutations on viral infection and transmission and the efficacy of vaccines and
