Coronaviruses (CoVs), a subfamily of Orthocoronavirinae, are viruses that sometimes present a zoonotic character. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the recent outbreak of COVID-19, which, since its outbreak in 2019, has caused about 774,593,066 confirmed cases and 7,028,881 deaths. Aereosols are the main route of transmission among people; however, viral droplets can contaminate surfaces and fomites as well as particulate matter (PM) in suspensions of natural and human origin.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving outpatients > 10 years of age diagnosed with asthma who were followed by a pulmonologist for at least 3 months in the city of Jundiai, located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The patients completed a questionnaire specifically designed for this study, the 6-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (to assess the control of asthma symptoms), and a questionnaire designed to assess treatment adherence.
Article Synopsis
- Case studies describe two women: one had a liver mass diagnosed as undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma, leading to a worsening condition and eventual cardiac arrest; the other underwent surgery for a similar diagnosis but later experienced a recurrence and required chemotherapy.
- Despite the poor prognosis associated with undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver, early diagnosis and treatment options like surgical resection and chemotherapy can improve survival chances.
