CONCLUSIONS: The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern for urine isolates showed an increased overall sensitivity and an increased resistance to ceftriaxone and gentamicin during the pandemic period. Our results highlight the need for revising and
Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers placental inflammation and alters cord blood immune cell composition. However, most studies focus on outcomes of severe maternal infection. Therefore, we analyzed cord blood and chorionic villi from newborns of
Human resilience to COVID-19 related stressors remains a pressing concern following the aftereffects of the pandemic and in the face of probable future pandemics. In response, we systematically scoped the available literature (n = 2030 records) to
Ecuador had substantial COVID-19-mortality during 2020 despite early implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Resource-limited settings like Ecuador have high proportions of informal labour which entail high human mobility
CONCLUSIONS: Patients diagnosed with Omicron had higher mortality than patients diagnosed with seasonal influenza. This finding could be due to differences in co-morbidities, the virus pathogenicity, and host responses to infection.
We investigated whether unvaccinated pregnant persons cluster geographically and determined factors associated with being unvaccinated using spatial and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Pregnant persons with deliveries from December 15
CONCLUSION: High glycemic variability was independently associated with mortality in patients with and without DM, who were hospitalized with COVID-19.
