A Case Report of an Infant with Autosomal Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: COL7A1 Gene Mutations at C2005T and G7922A
DISCUSSION Congenital epidermolysis bullosa must be differentiated from other diseases such as staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS), neonatal impetigo, congenital bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma, congenital syphilis, and neonatal herpes simplex. Among these diseases, SSSS is a severe acute generalized exfoliative pustulosis that occurs in neonates and is characterized by the development of flaccid scalded bullae and large areas of skin exfoliation due to generalized erythema throughout the body (2). SSSS mostly occurs with sudden onset 1-5 weeks after birth. Initially, erythema occurs around the mouth or eyelids ...

Role of Prealbumin in Predicting the Prognosis of Severely and Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients
This study aimed to evaluate the association of prealbumin (PAB) with the prognosis for severely and critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and explore factors related to this association. Patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from West Campus of Union Hospital in Wuhan from January 29, 2020 to March 31, 2020 were enrolled in this study. Patients were classified into the PAB1 (150-400 mg/L; N = 183) and PAB2 (< 150 mg/L; N = 225) groups. Data collection was performed using the hospital's electronic medical records system. The predictive value of PAB was evaluated by measuring the area under th...

The COVID-19 Pandemic and Adolescents' Experience in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Cross-Country Study Using a Telephone Survey
This study aimed to examine adolescents' knowledge, perceptions, and practices related to COVID-19 and the impacts of the pandemic on the daily lives of adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. The survey was conducted in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, and Nigeria using computer-assisted telephone interviews to enable rapid and remote data collection. Two sites were included in each country, with approximately 300 adolescents per site and 1,795 adolescents in total. Variations across the six sites were noted for the proportions of the adolescents who could correctly identify all key COVID-19 symptoms (4-25%), transmission methods (16-5...

Micronutrient therapy and effective immune response: a promising approach for management of COVID-19
AbstractThe escalating prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide, with an increased rate of morbidity and mortality, highlights an urgent need to develop more effective therapeutic interventions. Despite the authorized treatment against COVID-19 by the European Union (EU), the safety and effectiveness of this therapeutic strategy for a wide variety of patients have remained a significant challenge. In this respect, micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, as essential factors, can be considered for improving the function of the immune system and accelerating the treatment procedure. Dietary supplemen...
