CONCLUSION: Iron metabolism is profoundly modified in COVID-19. The pattern we observed presents differences with a typical inflammation profile. We observed uncoupled IL-6/hepcidin levels in some patients. The benefit of additive iron chelation
CONCLUSION: Hospitalizations due to viral hepatitis significantly declined in Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients admitted with viral hepatitis experienced a greater mortality during the pandemic period. Deaths were more pronounced when
The new generation of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variants displayed a significant growth advantage and increased viral fitness by acquiring convergent mutations, suggesting that the immune pressure can promote convergent evolution leading to the sudden

In this paper, we present a mathematical model to assess the impact of reducing the quarantine period and lifting the indoor mask mandate on the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Korea. The model incorporates important epidemiological
CONCLUSION: Young adults, North-western geopolitical zone, and female gender should be target groups for education on rational chloroquine use. The danger of chloroquine overdose should be communicated to the general population in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: The pregnant women in this study had moderate fear of COVID-19. Compared to the literature data, the prevalence of pregnancy distress was slightly higher than pre-COVID-19 reports but quite low compared to other studies conducted during
Accurately identifying immune cell types in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) data is critical to uncovering immune responses in health or disease conditions. However, the high heterogeneity and sparsity of scRNA-Seq data, as well as the
CONCLUSION: Telehealth was a useful addition to face-to-face consultations when used in the appropriate context such as the administration of long-term medication prescriptions by a GP. Engaging the ACCHO sector in the policy discourse around
