Effects of conventional versus virtual reality-simulated treadmill exercise on fatigue, cognitive function, and participant satisfaction in post-COVID-19 subjects. A randomized trial.

Background/objective: Post-COVID-19 subjects typically experience symptoms of fatigue, cognitive impairment, and sleep difficulty, which can be relieved by conventional aerobic exercise. Virtual Reality (VR) technology to support conventional exercise has recently gained much attention. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effects of traditional treadmill exercise compared to virtual reality-simulated treadmill exercise on fatigue, cognitive function, sleep quality, and participant satisfaction with the exercise program in post-COVID-19 subjects.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Methicillin Resistance in Isolated from an Egyptian University Hospital.

Methicillin-resistant in is a serious public health issue. It is mostly encoded by the gene. The gene is a new analog responsible for resistance to methicillin in some clinical isolates.

A Simple Scoring Model Predicting the Outcome of COVID-19 Patients: Tanta COVID Score.

Background: COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic with high rates of morbidity and mortality, and an uncertain prognosis leading to an increased risk of infection in health providers and limited hospital care capacities. In this study, we have proposed a predictive, interpretable prognosis scoring system with the use of readily obtained clinical, radiological and laboratory characteristics to accurately predict worsening of the condition and overall survival of patients with COVID-19.

Methods: This is a single-center, observational, prospective, cohort study.

Mechanical ventilator as a major cause of infection and drug resistance in intensive care unit.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent infection in intensive care units (ICU). It is associated with high rates of long morbidity and mortality. Management of a case of VAP is often said to add $40,000 to hospital costs USA.
