Article Abstract
The evolution and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants have driven successive waves of global COVID-19 outbreaks, yet the longitudinal dynamics of intrahost variation within the same patient remain less clear. We conducted a longitudinal cohort study by deep sequencing 198 swab samples collected from COVID-19 patients with varying infection durations. Our analysis showed that prolonged infections enhanced viral genomic diversity, leading to emergence of co-occurring variants that maintained high (>20%) frequency and became dominant in virus populations. We observed heterogeneous intrahost dynamics among individual patients, 2 of whom exhibited a minor variant of the spike D614G substitution over the course of infection. The increase in intrahost variants strongly correlated with prolonged infections, highlighting the complex interplay between viral diversity and host factors. This study revealed the intricate evolutionary mechanisms driving the emergence of de novo variants and lineage dominance, which could inform development of effective vaccine candidates and strategies to protect public health.

Background: The incidence of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is variable and is still unknown in our geographical area. Poor prognostic factors have been studied, but few have analyzed those that influence long-term results. The objective of this study is to know the incidence, characteristics and factors associated with disability and dependency in these patients from a population registry.

BackgroundLaparoscopic colectomy is standard for uncomplicated diverticulitis (UD) but has higher conversion and morbidity rates in complicated diverticulitis (CD). Robotic colectomy (RC) is increasingly used for both UD and CD. This study compared outcomes of RC for CD and UD and evaluated factors contributing to adverse outcomes.

A highly sensitive PCR method developed in our university accurately identifies the presence or absence of intra-uterine (IU) microbes without false positive results. With the inclusion of the results of an accurate assessment of IU microbes, risk factors for the development of moderate/severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease that affects premature infants who require prolonged oxygen therapy or medical ventilation, were examined in 107 spontaneous preterm neonates. Perinatal risk factors were compared between cases of moderate/severe BPD (N = 49) and mild/non-BPD (N = 58).

The emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as the causative agent of COVID-19 precipitated a global health crisis of unprecedented scale. SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to interfere specifically with S phase progression during early stages of infection. Nucleocapsid (N) is an important structural protein.
