Persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with B-cell deficiency: a case series of successful antiviral treatment of four patients
We describe a case series of four patients with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection that all had an underlying B-cell deficiency due to rituximab treatment (in one case in combination with epcoritamab). In all four patients, it was initially difficult to recognize the persistent disease, leading to a duration of illness between 45 and 242 days. Two patients were only positive for SARS-CoV-2 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the nasopharynx at the beginning of the disease but were later repeatedly negative. However, when bronchoalveolar lavage was performed, a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR was revealed from the lower airways in b...

Associations of spleen volume with markers of blood count and lipid profile in a large population-based study
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the spleen volume is associated with markers of the blood count and lipid profile in the general population.PMID:37807997 | PMC:PMC10552697 | DOI:10.48101/ujms.v128.9785 (Source: Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences)

Stand-alone virtual reality exposure therapy as a treatment for social anxiety symptoms: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Stand-alone VRET may reduce social anxiety symptoms. However, despite promising results, there is still uncertainty as the effect estimate is based on few studies with few participants each and a high risk of bias.PMID:37807998 | PMC:PMC10552696 | DOI:10.48101/ujms.v128.9289 (Source: Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences)
