Article Abstract

Objective: This study was aimed at exploring the safety and timing of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in patients after mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods: The study group comprised 63 adult inpatients who underwent FESS in our department after mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection between December 2022 and February 2023. Sixty adult patients without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection were randomly selected as the control group. The surgical time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative epithelialization time and postoperative complications in each group were recorded, and statistical analysis was conducted with independent sample t-tests.

Results: Statistical analysis of the surgical time, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative epithelialization time showed no statistically significant differences between the study group and control group (p > 0.05). No postoperative complications were observed in either group.

Conclusion: FESS is safe and effective for patients after mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection if the symptoms have essentially resolved at least 15 days before surgery.

Background: Online postal self-sampling (OPSS) allows service users to screen for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by ordering a self-sampling kit online, taking their own samples, returning them to a laboratory for testing, and receiving their results remotely. OPSS availability and use has increased in both the United Kingdom and globally the past decade but has been adopted in different regions of England at different times, with different models of delivery. It is not known why certain models were decided on or how implementation strategies have influenced outcomes, including the sustainability of OPSS in sexual health service delivery.

A comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the epidemiological dynamics of COVID-19 across the pandemic waves-particularly in terms of disease severity and mortality-is critical for optimizing healthcare services and prioritizing high-risk populations. Here we aim to analyze the factors associated with short-term and prolonged hospitalization for COVID-19 during the first three pandemic waves. We conducted a retrospective observational study using data from individuals reported in the e-SUS-VS system who were hospitalized for COVID-19 in a state in a southeast state of Brazil.

Background: Obesity was a risk factor for severe COVID-19 in children during early outbreaks of ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and the Delta variant. However, the relationship between obesity and COVID-19 severity during the Omicron wave remains unclear.

Methods: This multicenter, observational study included polymerase chain r eaction-confirmed SARS-CoV-2-infected children and adolescents from Australia, Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States hospitalized between January 1, 2020, and March 31, 2022.
