Increased prevalence of mild myopathic changes in the post-COVID-19 duration
CONCLUSIONS: The high prevalence of complaints and objective myopathic findings in our cohort implicated the role of muscle involvement in the post-COVID-19 duration. Considering the socioeconomic and psychological burden of the post-COVID-19 duration among individuals and societies, a better understanding of the symptoms and myopathy is warranted.PMID:37729011 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2023.2258034

Necessary to Identify Latent Toxicants A
Dear Editor SARS ‑CoV‑2 is a new coronavirus that emerged in 2019 and caused the COVID‑19 epidemic, but despite much effort, there is still no specific care standard. The lack of accurate information posed several challenges for health systems, which were accompanied by a wide range of possibly unfamiliar mate rials for the treatment and prevention of COVID‑19.[1] When a major medical crisis such as COVID‑19 occurs, and there is no known cure for it, several phenomena may occur, and people to show different behavioral reactions to deal with this condition and treat it with limited knowledge.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Tuberculosis and HIV services in Ghana: An interrupted time series analysis
ConclusionThis study demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted TB case notifications and HIV testing and counselling services, However, ART initiation was generally not impacted during the first year of the pandemic. Proactive approaches aimed at actively finding the thousands of individuals with TB who were missed in 2020 and increasing HIV testing and counselling and subsequent treatment initiations should be prioritised.

Roles of the interaction with children and families in mediating the association between digital health literacy and well-being of early childhood teachers in Portugal: A cross-sectional study
ConclusionThese findings suggest that improving ECE teachers ´ DHL could have a positive effect on their well-being and their interactions with children. Therefore, it is recommended to develop health promotion practices aimed at enhancing DHL among ECE teachers. Additionally, integrating DHL contents and competencies more prominently into the qualification, further education and training of ECE teachers may help equip them with the necessary skills to access and apply health information effectively. This, in turn, can enhance interactions with children and contribute to their overall well-being.

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1965: Detection of Alpha- and Betacoronaviruses in Small Mammals in Western Yunnan Province, China
Ge
Yun-Zhi Zhang
The genetic diversity of coronaviruses (CoVs) is high, and their infection in animals has not yet been fully revealed. By RT-PCR detection of the partial RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of CoVs, we screened a total of 502 small mammals in the Dali and Nujiang prefectures of Western Yunnan Province, China. The number of overall CoV positives was 20, including β-CoV (n = 13) and α-CoV (n = 7), with a 3.98% prevalence in rectal tissue samples. The identity of the partial RdRp genes obtained for 13 strains of β-CoV was 83.42–99.23% at the nu...

Evaluation of the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Cystic Echinococcosis Indirect Hemagglutination Test Dynamics: A Single-center Experience
CONCLUSION: A significant decrease was observed in the rate of IHA positivity during the pandemic period. The status of no increase in positivity rates despite a significant decrease in IHA tests makes us think that the diagnosis may be missed in some patients or that there could be disruptions in their follow-up. For this reason, in order to continue the fight successfully against CE, which is an important public health problem for our country, early diagnosis and regular follow-ups should be emphasized with educations, and the laboratory-clinician communication should be strengthened in order to use tests more efficientl...

How does the Immunological System Change during the SARS-COV-2 Attack? A Clue for the New Immunotherapy Discovery
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.2174/0929867331666230918092749. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) is one of the biggest unsolved global problems of the 21st century for which there has been no definitive cure yet. Like other respiratory viruses, SARS-COV-2 triggers the host immunity dramatically, causing dysfunction in the immune system, both innate and adaptive, which is a common feature of COVID-19 patients. Evidence shows that in the early stages of COVID-19, the immune system is suppressed while it is overactive in severe p...
