In addition to its role in viral infections, the normal physiological role of ACE2 involves its hydrolysis and clearance of angiotensin II, a vasoconstrictive peptide that can lead to higher vascular tone or blood pressure19. Therefore, we investigated if rs190509934:C was associated with higher ...
Only two NP swabs were sent for viral and bacterial testing. Twenty cases had no specimen for viral testing and 141 cases had no specimen for bacterial testing either because the hospital did not sent the specimen or the specimens were not adequate for testing. Blood cultures were done at ...
The 24-week observation period occurred while a series of SARS-CoV-2 variants were predominant in the US, including the Delta variant and the Omicron BA.1, BA.2, and BA.2.12.1 variants,22 suggesting that boosters continued to provide protection against severe illness despite viral evolution. ...
(1) tested for infection using reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2, (2) assigned a diagnosis code for COVID-19 illness, or (3) assigned a diagnosis code for viral illness, respiratory infection, or fever (collectively referred to as the inclusion diagnosis) (eTable...
viral infections from smartwatch data9,10,11,12. SpO2 home monitoring has successfully reduced the mortality of COVID-19 thanks to an increased hospitalization rate13. Thus, developing new machine learning based approaches for pre-symptomatic viral infection detection using SpO2, and other sensors, ...
Finally, implementing prevention measures (e.g., face masks) against one respiratory virus lowers the aggregated risk of all viral respiratory infections. Thresholds of overall incidence of acute respiratory infections could therefore constitute simplified indicators for the recommendation of these prevention...

Autoimmune bullous disorders develop due to autoantibodies targeting intercellular adhesion proteins of hemidesmosomes and desmosomes and may be triggered by viral infections and vaccines. Recent reports suggest that the coronavirus disease 2019 vaccinat
