Introduction In December of the year 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was discovered in Wuhan, China. It extended to over 180 nations around the world. It can manifest in patients who...



The existence of comorbidity is also linked to a significant worsening of the infection. Despite the fact that the principal consequences of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) damage the lungs, the prevalence of current smokers among COVID-19 hospitalized patients has repeatedly been observed to be lower than the prevalence of smokers in the...

The severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus causing COVID-19 significantly affects the respiratory functions of infected individuals by massively disrupting the pulmonary oxygenation and activating the synthesis...



This treatment modality seems to attenuate respiratory distress among patients suffering from severe infections or patients with comorbidities. Exogenous NO at different doses effectively reduces systemic hyperinflammation and oxidative stress, improves arterial oxygenation, and restores pulmonary alveolar cellular integrity to prevent the...

Two vaccine doses were 31% effective against symptomatic or asymptomatic Omicron variant infection among children aged 5 to 11 years and 59% effective among adolescents aged 12 to 15 years. In contrast, 2 doses provided 87% protection against Delta variant infection among adolescents. Still, the authors recommended that all children and...

Author summary Large population based genomic studies have discovered genetic variations associated with severe manifestations of Coronarvirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we screened for other human conditions that...



Our findings suggest that an online breathing and wellbeing programme can improve the mental component of HRQoL and elements of breathlessness in people with persisting symptoms after COVID-19. Mind–body and music-based approaches, including practical, enjoyable, symptom-management techniques might have a role supporting recovery.
