Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2 can lead to various cardiovascular issues, including pericarditis, myocarditis, and arrhythmias, with specific data on healthcare workers in Mexico being limited.
- The study aimed to analyze echocardiographic outcomes in 62 resident physicians diagnosed with COVID-19 over a three-year period.
- Key findings included high rates of pericardial refractoriness (90.3%), with other notable echocardiographic issues like valvular insufficiencies and left ventricular dysfunction, mainly affecting male participants.

Article Synopsis
- Patients who are aware of their chronic kidney disease (CKD) generally experience better long-term quality of life (QoL), despite the persistent symptoms caused by peritoneal dialysis.
- A study involving 199 CKD patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) found that most had only a moderate understanding of their condition, and 57.2% had diabetes as a comorbidity.
- Although there was a weak but significant correlation between patients' knowledge of their disease and QoL across various health domains, it suggests that improving disease awareness could still have a positive impact on overall well-being.
