The community restrictions during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic adversely impacted older adults' physical activity levels. This convergent mixed-method study assessed the adaptation of the Recreovía, a community-based physical activity
CONCLUSION: This study presents a prediction model for patients with C-ARDS at 2,600 masl with easily available admission variables for early stratification of in-hospital mortality risk. Adjusting the P/F for 2,600 masl did not improve the
The present study aimed to evaluate the measurement invariance of the Obsession with COVID-19 Scale (OCS) among seven Latin American countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Although the OCS has been used in
CONCLUSIONS: We show that, when linked with EMR data, an automated deep learning image classifier improved performance in identifying hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 at risk for intubation. With additional prospective and external
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that bronchiolitis hospitalizations decreased transiently and then increased markedly during the COVID-19 pandemic era. Patients admitted during the pandemic era were older
Betacoronaviruses encode an internal (I) gene via an alternative reading frame within the nucleocapsid gene, called ORF8b for Middle-East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and ORF9b for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS
Monocytes and neutrophils play key roles in the cytokine storm triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection, which changes their conformation and function. These changes are detectable at the cellular and molecular level and may be different to what is observed
CONCLUSION: Although adolescents vaccinated with the second dose of BNT vaccine commonly experienced transient post-vaccination discomfort, the serial echocardiographic examinations did not reveal any significant deterioration of cardiac function
