- - New coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, leading to a global COVID-19 pandemic, primarily presenting with respiratory symptoms but also causing significant liver injuries.
- - Liver damage in COVID-19 patients can range from mild enzyme elevation to severe injuries and is caused by various factors like the virus's direct effects, an overactive immune response, and complications from underlying liver conditions.
- - The review focuses on the prevalence and mechanisms of liver injury in COVID-19 patients, especially those with pre-existing liver diseases, and discusses important considerations for their management during the pandemic.
Sleep During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Curr Psychiatry Rep
November 2022
Purpose Of Review: We reviewed current evidence on the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on sleep of different populations.
Recent Findings: Several studies demonstrated that sleep deprivation may cause immune system dysregulation, which deteriorates the course of COVID-19. The increased prevalence of sleep disorders among COVID-19 patients has been associated with more severe disease and worse clinical outcomes.
Background: Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe infections of the Central Nervous System, such as meningitis or meningoencephalitis, and brain abscesses. Abscesses account for approximately 1-10% of CNS listerial infections and are observed in 1% of all listerial infections.
Methods: We describe a case of 70-year-old male patient who had several admissions in different hospitals over the last 8 weeks.
