Participants included patients with an ICD-10 diagnosis code of spotted fever group rickettsiosis or ehrlichiosis and a positive Rickettsia rickettsii or Ehrlichia indirect immunofluorescence assay immunoglobulin G antibody test result. Of the 897 patients who had an eligible diagnosis, 240 (26.8%) met...
24,25 Disregarding the severity of COVID-19, we found that the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and diabetes risk was significant only for males, which could be attributed to sex-specific immune responses, such as higher SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody serum concentrations in females compared ...
Furthermore, measuring COVID-19 antibody status retrospectively also has limitations. Matta et al. examined the association between antibody-based results and people’s self-reported belief that they had COVID-19 with persistent symptoms in the CONSTNANCES cohort. Because that author found ...
Early data indicated a reduced neutralising antibody response to the Omicron variant5,6,7. Real-world studies have since found reduced effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against infection or mild disease with the Omicron variant8,9,10. Receipt of a 3rd dose improves protection; however, this app...

Variables included alcohol dependence or alcohol use disorder, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, atrial fibrillation or flutter, cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, heart failure, cardiovascular disease (for the analysis of arterial thromboembolism) or ...
Several preclinical studies have reported that IL-6 receptor blockers attenuate muscular atrophy and facilitated muscle regeneration.130,131 In IL-6 transgenic mice, treatment with anti-mouse IL-6 receptor antibody blocked the activation of proteolytic systems associated with muscle atrophy in the ...
(A) Forty-three SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals who presented mild-COVID-19 symptoms were recruited after a PCR positive test, and serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were sampled at 6 and 12 months. (B) Serum RBD-specific antibody titers, per Ig isotype, reported as area...
The primary outcome was a confirmed COVID-19 case, defined here as those cases with a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR, either informed by a laboratory or by a physician as a record of an ICD-10 code U07.1 (which requires a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR), following national guidelines24. Re...
It is well advised that the elderly are a high-risk population that should be provided immunization with priority, but it was observed that the antibody response after vaccination was typically lower due to the steady reduction of the immune system with age and the immunological response of ...
