RESUMO

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Down syndrome (DS) is a non-rare genetic condition that affects approximately 1 in every 800 live births worldwide. Further, it is associated with comorbidities, anatomical alterations of the respiratory tract, and immunological dysfunctions that make individuals more susceptible to respiratory infections. OBJECTIVE: To systematize the current scientific knowledge about the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among individuals with DS. DESIGN AND SETTING: This integrative review was conducted at the Universidade Federal de São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: This review was conducted in the following databases: the Virtual Health Library (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, BVS), PubMed, and Web of Science, using MeSH descriptors. The search included English or Portuguese studies published between January 1, 2020, and October 14, 2022. RESULTS: A total of 55 articles from 24 countries were selected, comprising 21 case-control or cohort studies, 23 case reports or series, and 11 narrative reviews or opinion studies. The articles were grouped into five categories: previous comorbidities, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical features and evolution, cytokine storm and interleukins, living in institutions as a risk factor, and behavioral actions as a protective factor against SARS-CoV-2 infection. CONCLUSION: Individuals with DS are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection due to variables such as previous comorbidities, immunological factors, and their habitable environments. These aspects confer a higher risk of infection and an unfavorable clinical course. The precise pathways involved in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 in individuals with DS are not clear, thus requiring further studies. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: The Open Science Framework registered the research protocol (https://osf.io/jyb97/).

RESUMO

Objectives To study the course of West syndrome (WS) and coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) in children with WS who contracted SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods This ambispective study was conducted at a tertiary-care center in North India between December 2020 and August 2021 after approval from the Institute Ethics Committee. Five children with WS, positive for COVID-19 based on RT-PCR, fulflled the inclusion criteria. Results One child with COVID-19 during the frst wave was retrospectively included while four children (of the 70 children screened) were prospectively enrolled. The median age at onset of epileptic spasms was 7 mo (2 boys), and that at presentation with COVID-19 was 18.5 mo. Three had underlying acquired structural etiology. Three were in remission following standard therapy, while two had ongoing spasms at the time of COVID-19 illness. During the illness, two of those in remission continued to be in remission while one child had a relapse. The children with ongoing epileptic spasms had variable course [one had persistent spasms and other had transient cessation lasting 3 wk from day 2 of COVID-19 illness, but electroencephalography (on day 8 of COVID-19 illness) continued to show hypsarrhythmia]. Fever was the most typical symptom (and sometimes the only symptom) of COVID-19, with a duration ranging from 1–8 d. Two children had moderate COVID-19 illness requiring hospitalization, while the rest had a mild illness. All the afected children had complete recovery from COVID-19. Conclusion The severity of COVID-19 illness in children with WS is often mild, while the subsequent course of WS is variable.

RESUMO

Globally, the number of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) cases and deaths shows a declining trend since a peak in January 2022. For now, the pandemic phase looks to be ended, until a severe new variant may trigger another wave. At present, in India, small pockets of COVID-19 cases and post-COVID complications are still being reported. Therefore, physicians should remain vigilant about the atypical presentations and potential delayed or long-term complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection, even in individuals who had a mild COVID-19 infection. Here, we present the case of a 52-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, who is a non-smoker and developed culture-negative pleural empyema 7 months after a mild COVID-19 infection. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and early video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery

RESUMO

Introduction: The present study was conducted to explore the awareness and perception of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine among pregnant women. Material and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from September 01, 2021, to September 28, 2021, among 301 pregnant women aged 18–35 years at antenatal care outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital of Western Maharashtra. Results: On assessing the knowledge and awareness score, the mean score (± standard deviation) was 7.83 ± 1.2 out of 16. A total of 176 (58.5%) had good scores(?8). There was no statistically significant association between knowledge and awareness scores and the level of education, type of residence, and age or with weeks of gestation. Although the overall awareness of study participants was satisfactory, 177 (58.8%) felt that COVID-19 vaccines should be avoided during the first trimester. Interestingly, 45 (15.3%) felt that vaccines should not be given during menstruation. There were misconceptions about perceived contraindication, with 81(26.9%), 50(16.6%) and 43(14.4%) responding that diabetes, hypertension and heart disease are contradicts respectively. Interestingly, a total of 52 (17.3%) responded as likely when enquired whether the present vaccine can cause infertility. Similarly, about 62% of study participants felt that the vaccine might alter the DNA. Conclusion: The present study revealed good overall knowledge and awareness about the COVID-19 vaccine among pregnant with certain misconceptions. The findings suggest that immediate health education programs, risk communication, and correct information should be disseminated by respective health authorities.

RESUMO

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which entails the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) in a vein, has a significant disease burden worldwide. While VTE has traditionally been considered to predominantly affect Caucasian populations, recent studies have indicated a gradual shift in the disease burden towards Asian populations, with added significance of it being a key driver of post-operative mortality. It is imperative to develop a sound understanding of the various factors that affect VTE in stratified local populations. However, there is a glaring paucity of quality data on VTE and its ramifications among Indians - both in terms of quality of life and cost of healthcare. This review aims to throw light on the disease burden, epidemiology, risk factors, environmental factors, food and nutrition that plays a key role in VTE. We also explored the association of VTE with coronavirus disease 2019 to grasp the interplay between the two most significant public health crises of our time. It is vital to place a special emphasis on future research on VTE in India to plug the gaps, which exist in our current knowledge of the disease, particularly with respect to Indian population

RESUMO

Background: According to other studies, second wave was different as compared to the first wave in clinical outcomes and laboratory parameters. Aims and Objectives: We aimed to compare the clinicoepidemiological features and their effect on mortality in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients of first wave versus second wave. Materials and Methods: We carried out cross-sectional, observational, and retrospective study among two groups of COVID-19 patients of first and second wave. Each group contains a 135 patients of COVID-19 admitted at our hospital. We analyzed the demographic profile, clinical features, comorbidities, and inflammatory markers. Results: In our study, majority patients were male (67%). Majority number of the patients were between 18 and 60 years of age in both the groups. Presenting complaint of shortness of breath was significantly higher in second wave and sore throat was significantly higher in first wave. SpO2 on admission was significantly lower in second wave (93% vs. 98%). Median value of C-reactive protein (6.865 vs. 2.805), neutrophil-leucocyte ratio (4.647 vs. 2.917), and D-dimer (679.5 vs. 450) were significantly higher in second wave. Second wave had significantly higher mortality as compared to first wave (18.5% vs. 4.4%). However, level of D-dimer was found significantly higher in patients who died during first wave (6820 vs. 848). Higher mortality was seen in male patients of second wave. Conclusion: Overall higher mortality was seen during the second wave which was supported by increased in the inflammatory markers. Delta variant, late admission, increased demand of oxygen support, and intensive care unit beds may have led to higher mortality.

RESUMO

Lipschütz ulcer is a non-sexually transmitted genital lesion of unknown etiology, which presents as a painful vulvar ulcer. Lipschütz ulcers have been described in most continents. This is the first case reported in Peru and South America. We present the case of a 33-year-old female patient with a Lipschütz ulcer after being vaccinated with the second dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. She reported having had only one sexual partner in her lifetime. Laboratory results were negative for herpes simplex 2, Cytomegalovirus, Toxoplasma gondii, Epstein-Barr virus, and syphilis. The patient received symptomatic treatment. Ten days after the onset, the patient was significantly better during follow-up. This case report displays a potential adverse effect of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine as a Lipschütz ulcer triggered by the host humoral immune response. However, further research is needed to establish the causal relationship between these two.


La úlcera de Lipschütz es una lesión genital no transmitidas por vía sexual de etiología desconocida, se presenta como una úlcera vulvar muy dolorosa. Las úlceras de Lipschütz se han descrito en la mayoría de los continentes. Este es el primer caso que se reporta en Perú y Sudamérica. En este reporte de caso se presentauna paciente de 33 años con una úlcera de Lipschütz luego de haber sido vacunada con la segunda dosis de la vacuna AstraZeneca COVID-19. Refirió haber tenido una sola pareja sexual a lo largo de su vida. Los resultados de laboratorio fueron negativos para herpes simplex 2, Citomegalovirus, Toxoplasma gondii, virus de Epstein-Barr y sífilis. La paciente recibió tratamiento sintomático. Diez días después, durante el seguimiento, la paciente estaba significativamente mejor. Este reporte de caso expone un potencial efecto adverso de la vacuna AstraZeneca COVID-19, en forma de úlcera de Lipschütz, desencadenado por la respuesta inmune humoral del huésped. Sin embargo, es necesario realizar más investigación para establecer la relación causal entre ambos.

RESUMO

Bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris (BADI) is a rare disease characterized by iris atrophy. Although it can be self-limiting, it is sometimes progressive and can lead to glaucoma and severe vision loss. Two female patients were admitted to our clinic because of a change in iris color following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. After the exclusion of other etiologies in the eye examination, BADI was diagnosed in both cases. Thus, it was shown that COVID-19 may also be involved in the etiology of BADI.

RESUMO

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Coronavirus disease 2019 emerges as a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. It is a systemic disease associated with vascular inflammation and endothelial damage. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether vascular endothelial growth factor gene insertion/deletion polymorphism is associated with coronavirus disease 2019 in the Turkish population. METHODS: The study included 179 participants (79 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 and 100 controls). DNA isolation was made from peripheral blood, and then the polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed. RESULTS: When we analyze vascular endothelial growth factor gene insertion/deletion polymorphism in the study group, we found that the DD genotype and D allele were found to be statistically significantly different when compared to coronavirus disease 2019 patients with high vitamin D value (p=0.005 for DD genotype and p=0.006 for D allele) in the control group. In this high-level control group, when we analyze II+ID genotype versus DD, a statistically significant difference was also detected (p=0.007). CONCLUSION: As a result of the study, we found that DD genotype and D allele were associated with vitamin D level in Turkish patients with coronavirus disease 2019.

RESUMO

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in pregnancy during the prevalence of Omikjon.Methods:Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 65 pregnant women (COVID-19 group) admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from November 1 to December 24, 2022, who received COVID-19 in late pregnancy and delivered, including 64 mild cases and 1 medium case. In addition, 182 pregnant women with negative detection of novel coronavirus nucleic acid due to obstetric factors were selected as the control group. Compare the perinatal data, pregnancy complications, delivery related indicators, and neonatal outcomes between the two groups. To analyze the detection results of novel coronavirus in newborns delivered by COVID-19 pregnant women. The measurement data is represented by xˉ± s, and independent sample t-test is used for inter group comparison; Counting data is represented by examples(%), and comparisons between groups are conducted using χ 2 test or Fisher's exact probability method. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of delivery age, gestational age, pregnancy complications, cesarean section rate, perinatal bleeding volume and the amount of hemostatic medication used, newborn birth weight, neonatal asphyxia, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) transfer rate (all P>0.05). The proportion of amniotic fluid reduction in the COVID-19 combination was higher than that in the control group [7.69%(5/65) vs 0.55% (1/182)], with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.006). In COVID-19 group, 3 out of 5 pregnant women with amniotic fluid decrease had fever for 3-5 days before amniotic fluid decrease. After intravenous fluid replacement, the amniotic fluid index was >8 cm, and there was no recurrent amniotic fluid decrease during pregnancy. Among 65 newborns in COVID-19 group, 20 were negative for novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection after birth; 45 cases were negative for novel coronavirus antigen detection. After the birth of the newborn, the mother and baby were roomed together and breastfed. Among them, one case was transferred to NICU due to vomiting, one case was transferred to NICU due to nasal obstruction, one case was transferred to NICU due to the mother's fever at birth, and three cases were positive for new coronavirus nucleic acid detection. After general treatment, they recovered and discharged from hospital. Conclusions:During the prevalence of Omikjon, COVID-19 did not increase the risk of pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes, and vertical transmission was not found in newborns delivered by COVID-19 pregnant women.

RESUMO

Objective:To investigate the psychological status of medical students in clerkship during the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), analyze the psychological status characteristics and influencing factors of them, and provide an effective basis for carrying out corresponding mental health education and countermeasures.Methods:The survey was conducted on clerkship medical students in the form of questionnaires, including self-made general status questionnaires, symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) and social support rate scale (SSRS). Statistical analysis was made on above data, chi-square test was used for rates comparison, t test was for comparison between groups, and Spearman correlation analysis was conducted. Results:The survey obtained 359 valid questionnaires, 18.38% of medical students had different aspects of psychological problems. There was no statistical difference between male and female. For those who knew that there was free psychological counseling for the COVID-19, the levels of three factors, such as compulsive symptoms, anxiety, and hostility, were lower than those of the others who didn't know that [(1.30 ± 0.44) vs. (1.41±0.55), (1.19±0.30) vs. (1.26±0.42), (1.17±0.35) vs. (1.26±0.44), P < 0.05]. SSRS results showed that male students had lower social support availability than female students [(7.46±2.03) vs. (8.10±2.06), P=0.004], and except for somatization, other SCL-90 factors scores of the students were negatively correlated with SSRS scores. Conclusion:During the pandemic, medical students in clerkship have a certain degree of psychological problems, which are negatively related to social support, suggesting that these medical students' mental health can be improved by improving social support.

RESUMO

We reported a case of a patient dignosed as tuberculosis and severe malnutrition with coronavirus disease 2019 (critical type) treated with a combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Through the retrospective analysis of the diagnosis and treatment process of this patient, on the basis of Chinese medicine's understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of “old state” and “deficient state”, the critical coronavirus pneumonia combined with pulmonary tuberculosis and severe malnutrition was mostly due to the physical condition and the invasion of epidemic toxin, resulting in dysfunctions of the internal organs such as the lungs, spleens, kidneys and other organs. Based on the understanding of the cause and mechanism of the coronavirus disease, the treatment combined Chinese and Western medical therapies was given. The western medicine was used with the main treatments of oxygen therapy, anti-viral, intestinal nutritional support, and anti-coagulation, while the Chinese medicine was used by tonifying qi, blood, yin, and yang, warming yang and dissipating cold, and clearing heat and dampness, then tonifying qi, nourishing yin and eliminating heat, in which tonifying middle and replenishing qi ran through the whole process. The integrated treatment eventually improved the patient's symptoms and accelerated the negative conversion of nucleic acid of the coronavirus.

RESUMO

Building on a clear understanding of the diagnosis and treatment patterns for cold-damp epidemics, and incorporating the insights of Academician TONG Xiaolin regarding the differentiation and treatment of such epidemics, this article have distilled the key diagnostic principles. These principles primarily entail observing color and pulse, initially distinguishing between yin and yang, with treatment focusing on dispelling cold and dampness. A comprehensive approach is adopted throughout treatment, with a combination of overall strategies and tailored treatments that evolve in line with the patient's condition. In critical and severe cases, particular attention is given to aspects such as sweating, pulse analysis, and consciousness, preventing the pathogen from penetrating deeply. Efforts are made to open and close organ networks, expelling external pathogens without fixating on resolving constipation. The dosage and efficacy of herbal remedies are adjusted based on individual circumstances and clinical symptoms. The objective is to eliminate pathogens comprehensively, while being vigilant against relapses, ultimately achieving a full recovery. This overview of the thought processes and clinical principles for diagnosing and treating cold-damp epidemics will guide precise clinical practices and provide a theoretical foundation for the involvement of traditional Chinese medicine in epidemic prevention and treatment.

RESUMO

@#Introduction: The Coronavirus disease pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) has had psychological implications and altered the public’s well-being. In response to the pandemic, mental health practitioners play an essential role in mitigating the adverse psychological effects among the public. However, as the demand for mental health services increases, the responsibilities of mental health professionals are far stretched from what they can handle. Therefore, this research is aimed to explore the psychological impact of the pandemic on the mental health practitioners in Selangor and their coping strategies. Method: A total of 10 mental health practitioners who are clinical psychologists and counselors participated in the one-to-one interview. The collected data were analysed using thematic analysis. Result: The higher client loads, the transition to virtual therapy, burnout, and anxiety were found to have an impact on the mental health practitioners’ well-being. Despite the challenging psychological impact, the mental health practitioners expressed a high level of satisfaction with their jobs, which they attributed to the supportive organisational culture and their intrinsic drive for selecting this profession. The mental health practitioners have reported that perceived organisational support, social support, and self-care approaches are effective coping mechanisms. Mindfulness skills such as breathing techniques and meditation are often practiced by the participants to calm the mind and body from a long day of work. Conclusion: The implication of the study contributes to breaking the stigmatisation of help seeking behaviour among the helping professions, as well as urging the policy makers, governments, and foundations to play a part in providing accessible and quality mental healthcare to the society.

RESUMO

@#Since December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has gradually spread all over the world. With the implementation of class B infectious disease management policy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), China has experienced a pandemic. For patients receiving a time-sensitive or emergency surgery, SARS-CoV-2 infection may increase the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. An appropriate perioperative mechanical ventilation strategy, such as lung protective ventilation strategy, is particularly important for preventing postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing general anesthesia. In addition, how to protect medical personnel from being infected is also the focus we need to pay attention to. This article will discuss the perioperative mechanical ventilation strategy for COVID-19 patients and the protection of medical personnel, in order to provide reference for the development of guidelines.

RESUMO

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the safety of interferon β-1a for treatment of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to provide references for interferon β-1a's clinical application. MethodsThis study was conducted with the database from US Food and Drug Administration adverse event reporting system (FAERS) from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2021. Information component (IC) and reporting odds ratio (ROR) methods were applied for signal mining. ResultsA total of 463 700 records of COVID-19 were selected for analysis, and 45 positive drug adverse event signals were detected. Headache (IC025=1.09, ROR025=2.28), pyrexia (IC025=0.51, ROR025=1.51) and multiple sclerosis relapse (IC025=3.67, ROR025=14.71) were positive adverse events with higher frequency. Autoimmune disorder (IC025=4.42, ROR025=24.03), streptococcal infection (IC025=4.12, ROR025=19.82), and multiple sclerosis relapse (IC025=3.67, ROR025=14.71) were positive adverse events. Acute lung injury, cardio-respiratory arrest and metabolic acidosis were associated with a higher proportion and frequency of death. ConclusionThere are certain safety issues with interferon β-1a in the treatment of COVID-19, and some adverse events with high frequency and high death rate deserve further attention by medical staffs.
