CONCLUSION: In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 infection of cardiomyocytes causes mitochondrial dysfunction, including reduced mitochondrial respiratory chain complex activity and decreased ATP synthesis, leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis, while the
Surgical decision-making after SARS-CoV-2 infection is influenced by the presence of comorbidity, infection severity and whether the surgical problem is time-sensitive. Contemporary surgical policy to delay surgery is informed by highly heterogeneous
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has prompted global efforts to develop therapeutics. The main protease of SARS-CoV-2 (M^(pro)) and the papain-like protease (PL^(pro)) are essential for viral replication and are key targets for therapeutic development. In
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that changes in the ACE2 pathway, mitochondrial dysfunction, and/or inflammatory processes may lead to placental damage observed in SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. More research is needed to understand the
CONCLUSION: During the COVID19 pandemic, the prevalence of burnout among health professionals was high. It was related to hard implication in COVID 19 management. Interventions like adjusting working hours, reducing workload, and providing
Here we present a protocol to measure coronavirus-mediated membrane fusion, an essential event in coronavirus cell entry. The approach uses nanoluciferase (Nluc) "HiBiT"-tagged corona virus-like particles (VLPs) and Nluc "LgBiT"-containing
CONCLUSION: In 3.7% of SARS-CoV-2 infected hospitalized patients, the burden of the acute infection triggered palliative care involvement. Besides complex symptom management, SPC professionals also focused on psychosocial and family issues and aimed
The COVID-19 pandemic strained healthcare providers, particularly certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). To date, little research has focused on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on CRNAs, whose unique skillset conferred on them expanded
CONCLUSIONS: Assessments of risk perception serving to inform vaccination campaigns should differentiate between expectations concerning the risk of infection and expectations concerning the outcome of an infection. Public health messages should
