Sep 18th, 2021 - The dual infection with SARS-CoV-2 is poorly described and is currently under discussion. We present a study of two strains of SARS-CoV-2 detected in the same patient during the same disease presentation. A patient in their 90 s was hospitalised with fever. Oropharyngeal swab obtained on the next day (sample 1) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Five days later, the patient was transferred to the ...

Sep 18th, 2021 - COVID-19 (Coronavirus) went through a rapid escalation until it became a pandemic disease. The normal and manual medical infection discovery may take few days and therefore computer science engineers can share in the development of the automatic diagnosis for fast detection of that disease. The study suggests a hybrid COVID-19 framework (named HMB-HCF) based on deep learning (DL), genetic algor...

Sep 18th, 2021 - Prenatal maternal physiological changes may cause severe COVID-19 among pregnant women. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2 mRNA) has been shown to be highly effective and it is recommended for individuals aged ≥16 years, including pregnant women, although the vaccine has not been tested on the latter.

A substantive evidence base supports cardiac rehabilitation as a clinically effective and cost-effective intervention for patients with acute coronary syndrome or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and after corona...

Sep 18th, 2021 - Current knowledge on histopathological changes occurring after COVID-19 in transplanted kidneys is limited. Herein, we present renal allograft pathology findings in patients recovered from COVID-19. Six patients underwent indication biopsy, and one required allograft nephrectomy after acute COVID-19. Demographic data, clinical characteristics and laboratory findings were recorded. The histopath...

Sep 18th, 2021 - COVID-19 has placed additional stressors on mothers during an already vulnerable lifecourse transition. Initial social distancing restrictions (Timepoint 1; T1) and initial changes to those social distancing restrictions (Timepoint 2; T2) have disrupted postpartum access to practical and emotional support. This qualitative study explores the postpartum psychological experiences of UK women duri...
