Effect of COVID-19 on Pregnancy and Neonate's Vital Parameters: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: Due to insufficient data, further research is necessary. Further studies and follow-up are recommended, which would make possible an assessment of remote effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy and vital parameters of the newborn.PMID:37215313 | PMC:PMC10199793 | DOI:10.1155/2023/3015072

Berhanu, Pren Naidoo, Zameer Brey, Anthony Kinghorn, Sipho Nyathi, Katherine Young, Harry Hausler, Lucy Connell, Keeren Lutchminarain, Khine Swe Swe-Han, Helena Vreede, Mohamed Said, Nina von Knorring, Lawrence H. Moulton, Limakatso Lebina, the TUTT Trial team BackgroundThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends systematic symptom screening for tuberculosis (TB).

A seesaw effect between COVID-19 and influenza during 2020-2023 in WHO regions
CONCLUSIONS: Influenza activity and former seasonal epidemiological patterns are shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic. Their activities are moderately and above inversely correlated, oppressing and competing with each other, showing a seesaw effect. In the post-pandemic era of COVID-19, the seesaw trends may be more prominent, prompting the possibility of using one another as early warning signals for future estimates and conducting optimized annual vaccine campaigns.PMID:37191650 | DOI:10.2196/44970

COVID-19, post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS, "long COVID") and post-COVID-19 vaccination syndrome (PCVS, "post-COVIDvac-syndrome"): Similarities and differences
Pathol Res Pract. 2023 May 3;246:154497. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.154497. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWorldwide there have been over 760 million confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, and over 13 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered as of April 2023, according to the World Health Organization. An infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can lead to an acute disease, i.e. COVID-19, but also to a post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS, "long COVID"). Currently, the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines are increasingly being noted and studied. Here, we summarise the ...

Simon Schama on the broken relationship between humans and nature: ‘The joke’s on us. Things are amiss’
More than ever, the relationship between our two worlds has been disrupted, says the historian. If we don ’t mend our ways, will we face even deadlier threats than Covid, Sars and Mpox?In March 2021, the 13th month of the Covid confinement, thepeepers, in their vast multitudes, sang out again. Down in the swampy wetlands below our house in Hudson Valley, New York, millions ofPseudacris crucifer ( “cross-bearing false locusts” but actually minute frogs) puffed up their air sacs and warbled for a mate. That’s spring for you. The peepers are so tiny – an inch or so long – that you’ll never see one, no matter how...

Convalescent plasma for people with COVID-19: a living systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: For the comparison of convalescent plasma versus placebo or standard care alone, our certainty in the evidence that convalescent plasma for individuals with moderate to severe disease does not reduce mortality and has little to no impact on clinical improvement or worsening is high. It probably has little to no effect on SAEs. For individuals with mild disease, we have very-low to low certainty evidence for most primary outcomes and moderate certainty for hospital admission or death. There are 49 ongoing studies, and 33 studies reported as complete in a trials registry. Publication of ongoing studies might res...
