Article Abstract

At the beginning of 2021, the scientific community realized the burden of COVID-19-related persistent olfactory disorders (ODs). The percentage of those infected with COVID-19 who developed severe and persistent ODs [1-3] with devastating effects on their quality of life was 5 to 40% [4,5].

We report a case of totally endoscopic mitral valve repair for severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to Barlow's disease in a 55-year-old man with severe pulmonary dysfunction following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. He had developed severe COVID-19 one month earlier, requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO). Although successfully weaned from ECMO, the patient continued to experience persistent fever and was referred to our department for suspected acute MR.

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic introduced significant lifestyle changes, such as reduced outdoor activities, social distancing, and other public health measures. These changes may have affected maternal health and neonatal biochemical parameters linked to bone metabolism. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of pandemic-related behavioral restrictions on neonatal biochemical markers, including calcium, phosphate, magnesium, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), measured on the first day of life across three distinct time periods (pre-COVID-19, COVID-19 pandemic, and post-COVID-19).

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant limitations in existing data infrastructure, particularly the lack of systems for rapidly collecting, integrating, and analyzing data to support timely and evidence-based public health responses. These shortcomings hampered efforts to conduct comprehensive analyses and make rapid, data-driven decisions in response to emerging threats. To overcome these challenges, the US National Institutes of Health launched the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative.
