D-dimer, Troponin, and Urea Level at Presentation With COVID-19 can Predict ICU Admission: A Single Centered Study
(2020)
Background:
Identifying clinical-features or a scoring-system to predict a benefit from hospital admission for patients with COVID-19 can be of great value for the decision-makers in the health sector. We aimed to identify ...
Lung Epithelial Cells from Obese Patients Have Impaired Control of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
(2023)
Abstract:
Obesity is known to increase the complications of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, the exact mechanisms of SARSCoV-2 infection ...
Metagenomic Sequencing and Reverse Transcriptase PCR Reveal That Mobile Phones and Environmental Surfaces Are Reservoirs of Multidrug-Resistant Superbugs and SARS-CoV-2
(2022)
Background:
Mobile phones of healthcare workers (HCWs) can act as fomites in the dissemination of microbes. This study was carried out to investigate microbial contamination of mobile phones of HCWs and environmental ...
Monocyte distribution width as a novel sepsis indicator in COVID-19 patients
(2022)
Background:
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly transmittable virus which causes the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Monocyte distribution width (MDW) is an in-vitro hematological ...
Computational Analysis of Short Linear Motifs in the Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 Variants Provides Possible Clues into the Immune Hijack and Evasion Mechanisms of Omicron Variant
(2022-08)
Abstract:
Short linear motifs (SLiMs) are short linear sequences that can mediate protein–protein interaction. Mimicking eukaryotic SLiMs to compete with extra- or intracellular binding partners, or to sequester host ...
SARS-CoV-2 and the testis: similarity with other viruses and routes of infection
(2020)
Abstract:
Since the start of the latest coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, the number of infected individuals and cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been increasing exponentially worldwide. Of interest is existing ...
Single-cell transcriptome identifies FCGR3B upregulated subtype of alveolar macrophages in patients with critical COVID-19
(2021)
Summary:
Understanding host cell heterogeneity is critical for unraveling disease mechanism. Utilizing large-scale single-cell transcriptomics, we analyzed multiple tissue specimens from patients with life-threatening ...
Nigella sativa and its chemical constituents: pre clinical and clinical evidence for their potential anti SARS CoV 2 effects
(2023)
Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused over 500 million reported cases of COVID-19 worldwide with relatively high morbidity and mortality. Although global vaccination drive has ...
