COVID-19 as a window of opportunity for cycling: Evidence from the first wave.

Across the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to reconsider their habits in terms of how they work, how they interact with each other, and of their mobility. During lockdowns, mobility was in general significantly reduced. Means of collective transportation were used much less, and people preferred means of individual transport.

Early Diagnosis of Acute Myocarditis in the ED: Proposal of a New ECG-Based Protocol.

The diagnosis of acute myocarditis (AM) is based on a multi-parametric assessment including clinical presentation, ECG, imaging and biomarkers. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) might be an additional diagnostic sign in patients with proven AM. The main objective of this study was to assess the diagnostic yield of fQRS in patients with suspected AM presenting to the emergency department (ED).

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on public transport usage and route choice: Evidences from a long-term tracking study in urban area.

The COVID-19 pandemic strongly affected mobility around the world. Public transport was particularly hindered, since people may perceive it as unsafe and decide to avoid it. Moreover, in Switzerland, several restrictions were applied at the beginning of the first pandemic wave (16/03/2020), to reduce the contagion.

Association Between Pulmonary Embolism and COVID-19 in Emergency Department Patients Undergoing Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiogram: The PEPCOV International Retrospective Study.

Background: There have been reports of procoagulant activity in patients with COVID-19. Whether there is an association between pulmonary embolism (PE) and COVID-19 in the emergency department (ED) is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess whether COVID-19 is associated with PE in ED patients who underwent a computed tomographic pulmonary angiogram (CTPA).
