Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a rare childhood neurological disorder. The familiar type of ANE (ANE1) is associated with a mutation in the RANBP2 gene. Both SARS-CoV-2 and RANBP2 mutations are responsible for the manifestation of a hyper
This paper presents ultra-low power photoplethysmography (PPG) readout circuits. The proposed system architecture uses a current buffer between the photodiode (PD) and the transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to isolate the large parasitic capacitance of
CONCLUSIONS: The TC is a feasible alternative to traditional in-person follow-ups. Callers considered it very useful, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown. Communication was improved and admissions to emergency services were reduced.
Overweight and obesity have emerged as global health issues among children and adolescents. Restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have aggravated the threat of paediatric obesity due to the prevalent reduction in physical activity (PA) in
This article explores the perception of violence against women (VAW) in the Middle East and North Africa in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic using Arab Barometer VI parts 1 and 3 (N = 12,548). Results showed that men and social conservatism
The clinical significance of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in detecting diseases has been established over the past decades. Gas chromatography (GC) devices enable the measurement of these VOCs. Chromatographic peak alignment is one of the
CONCLUSIONS: Our MR analysis provides compelling evidence of causal associations between genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 and specific PCS symptoms, in which educational and income levels play a mediating role. These findings shed light on PCS
CONCLUSIONS: Blood group O is more prevalent among patients with VITT-CVT after ChAdOx1-S vaccination compared with unvaccinated cases, independent of well-established CVT risk factors. A larger dataset may be able to determine whether those of blood
CONCLUSIONS: Restrictions such as lockdowns affect coercive measures and resulted in fewer but longer involuntary psychiatric admissions during weeks of lockdown in Austria. These results strengthen previous findings that showed the dependence of
