Here, we compared the level of inflammation in the wall of the tuberculoma and in the parenchymal lung tissue of 30 patients diagnosed with tuberculoma without a history of COVID-19 and 30 patients diagnosed with tuberculoma 3 months after COVID-19. We also characterized TB activit...
The team then tested if algorithms using these risk factors could predict COVID outcomes in a different group of patients. They found that although the inflammation markers predicted who would develop lung structure abnormalities, they could not accurately predict who would develop lung function problem...
Post-COVID conditions (PCCs) are common and have significant morbidity. Risk factors for PCC include advancing age, female sex, obesity, and diabetes mellitus. Little is known about treatment, inflammation, and PCC. Among 882 individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection participating in a ...
Studies suggest its association with lung inflammation and tumor growth, with KRAS mutations implicated in interstitial pneumonia-related lung adenocarcinoma. Its downregulation in PCPF may signify loss of control over cell growth and survival pathways, yet also indicates a complex regulatory response to...
Twenty months into the COVID-19 pandemic, we are still learning about the various long-term consequences of COVID-19 infection. While many patients do recover with minimal long-term consequences, some
Multiorgan effects can affect many, if not all, body systems, including heart, lung, kidney, skin, and brain functions. Autoimmune conditions happen when your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake, causing inflammation (swelling) or tissue damage in the affected parts of ...
A case of fatal multi-organ inflammation following COVID-19 vaccination 2023, Legal Medicine Citation Excerpt : The heart showed no degeneration or scarring on the grossly superficial surface or cross-sections. The left lung weighed 424 g (normal weight, 349.78 ± 143.69 g) [3], while the ...
A substantial proportion of patients suffer from Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS) with fatigue and impairment of memory and concentration being the most important symptoms. We here set out to perform in-depth neuropsychological assessment of PCS patients referr
release of substance P from immune cells in SARS-CoV-2 infection is augmented [179] as well; a vasoactive peptide storm caused by the increasing release of substance P and neurotensin plays a critical role in the induction of vascular permeability and lung inflammation [180]. As well, SARS-...
Les mécanismes de l’atteinte cardiovasculaire post-COVID-19 sont mal compris [45]. La persistance de l’inflammation, peut-être liée à la persistance du virus dans des réservoirs cellulaires cardiaques, pourrait entraîner une dysfonction endothéliale et des lésions tissulaires. Une r...
