Aptamer-Based Strategies to Address Challenges in COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatments
Interdiscip Perspect Infect Dis. 2023 Jul 31;2023:9224815. doi: 10.1155/2023/9224815. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease (COVID-19), a highly contagious and rapidly spreading disease with significant fatality in the elderly population, has swept across the world since 2019. Since its first appearance, the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has undergone multiple mutations, with Omicron as the predominant circulating variant of concern at the moment. The gold standard for diagnosis of COVID-19 by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the virus is laborio...

A comparative study of SARS-CoV-2 and common human coronavirus infections among children presenting to tertiary care in Oman
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses found widely among animal species and humans. With a high degree of variability, a propensity to mutate, and the ability to cause infection across species, they have strong pandemic-potential. This became acutely evident with the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The utility of syndecan-1 circulating levels as a biomarker in patients with previous or active COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
With the emergence of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), several blood biomarkers have been identified, including the endothelial biomarker syndecan-1, a surface proteoglycan. In the current systematic re...

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and viral keratouveitis - unraveling the mystery
Indian J Ophthalmol. 2023 Aug;71(8):3103-3108. doi: 10.4103/IJO.IJO_593_23.ABSTRACTTo demonstrate viral proteins/inflammatory cytokines in a patient with unilateral keratouveitis. Retrospective case report. A 70-year-old Asian-Indian male presented with acute onset of blurring of vision in the left eye (OS) of 2 days duration. He had was coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-positive 3 months earlier. He had undergone cataract surgery/retinal laser photocoagulation in both the eyes. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) (Snellen) in the right eye (RE) (OD) and left eye (LE) (OS) was 20/20 and 20/80, respectively. OS sh...

Clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 harboring detectable intracellular SARS-CoV-2 RNA in peripheral blood cells
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains endemic and a significant problem worldwide. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test, using nasopharyngeal swabs, is the gold standard for the diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Studies on serum samples of patients with COVID-19 have reported viral RNAemia, which has been associated with disease severity [1] and post-acute COVID-19 sequelae [2]. However, reports of intracellular viral RNA identified in peripheral blood cells are limited.

Monitoring, prophylaxis, and treatment of infections in patients with MM receiving bispecific antibody therapy: consensus recommendations from an expert panel
Blood Cancer J. 2023 Aug 1;13(1):116. doi: 10.1038/s41408-023-00879-7.ABSTRACTBispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are emerging as an important novel class of immunotherapeutic agents for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), and are set to be more widely used in clinical practice. However, this new class of therapies is associated with a distinct adverse event (AE) profile that includes cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, as well as AEs leading to increased infection risk such as cytopenias and hypogammaglobulinemia, and infections themselves. As preliminary data with this clas...

Cerebral Vasomotor Reactivity in COVID-19: A Narrative Review

Among COVID-19 patients, the endothelium is considered the Achilles heel. A variety of endothelial dysfunctions may result from SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequent endotheliitis, such as altered vascular tone, oxidative stress, and cytokine storms. The cerebral hemodynamic impairment that is caused is associated with a higher probability of severe disease and poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. This...

Antiviral Potential of Specially Selected Bulgarian Propolis Extracts: In Vitro Activity against Structurally Different Viruses
Life (Basel). 2023 Jul 23;13(7):1611. doi: 10.3390/life13071611.ABSTRACTPropolis is a natural mixture of resins, wax, and pollen from plant buds and flowers, enriched with enzymes and bee saliva. It also contains various essential oils, vitamins, mineral salts, trace elements, hormones, and ferments. It has been found that propolis possesses antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. We have studied the antiviral activity of six extracts of Bulgarian propolis collected from six districts of Bulgaria. The study was conducted against structurally different viruses: human coronavirus strain OC-43 (HCoV OC-43)...

The main predictive factors of worse outcome in patients with COVID-19 infection hospitalized in temporary COVID hospital
Conclusions: Patients with cardiovascular risk factors, low lymphocyte and platelet counts, high IL-6 and troponin T and, especially, increased age should not be treated in a TCH because of the high possibility for deterioration and need for transfer to an ICU.
