ABSTRACT
The effect of liver transplantation (LT) on the severity and mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remained controversial. There is still no consensus on whether liver transplantation (LT) recipients with COVID-19 are at greater risk of developing severe or fatal COVID-19. It is not completely clear what is the course of the disease and what laboratory changes occur. The present study was undertaken to identify the dynamic changes in blood parameters of LT recipients pre and post COVID-19 infection which may be used to diagnose the severity and thus assess the prognosis of such patients. Our collected data are from a Bulgarian liver transplantation program at a single center for adult recipients of LT who were followed up from May, 2020, through May, 2022 in the pandemic environment. The current study aims analyzing the statistically significant differences in over 50 biochemical blood parameters in the cohort of LT recipients pre and post SARS-CoV-2 infection. © 2022 Academic Publications
ABSTRACT
The available data on COVID-19 infection in liver transplant (LT) recipients are not conclusive and are limited to several case series. Transplant recipients are considered as “clinically extremely vulnerable” sub-population for COVID-19 because of lifelong immunosuppressive therapy and their higher rate of underlying comorbidities. We collected data from a Bulgarian liver transplant program at a single center for adult recipients of LT who were followed up from May, 2020, through May, 2022 despite the pandemic environment. The current study aims analyzing the statistically significant differences in over 50 biochemical blood parameters between cohorts of liver transplant patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and LT patients without symptoms of infection © 2022.

ABSTRACT
Modern technologies advance and become an integral part of a child's life. They can be eliminated fully neither in the family and society. aorta a hospital environment. The purpose of this study is to assess the intensive influence of virtual reality end modem technologies on the behavior of children of a young age with an acute tymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) diagnosis. In a hospital environment. in the context of a COVID-19 pandemic. the deprivation of children aged 3 to 6 years of games and communication and their replacement with modem technologies and virtual reality inevitably leads to the disruption of the Connection between parent. patient/child, and medical team. The authors of the study rely on the Lacanian psychoanalysis and on the concept of Francoise Dolto that: 'everything is language and a child needs to communicate".
