Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Emily Zona"
- Emily Zona's recent research primarily focuses on the health complications faced by vulnerable populations, notably patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), emphasizing the increased risks of infections and post-operative outcomes.
- Her studies have found that patients with IBD are at a heightened risk for complications from herpes zoster, and KTRs experience significant mortality and health issues following SARS-CoV-2 infection, alongside challenges such as avascular necrosis and cytomegalovirus viremia.
- Zona's work also investigates immunogenic responses in patients with IBD after COVID-19 vaccinations, demonstrating sustained immune responses, and further examines factors contributing to frailty in transplant recipients, linking these characteristics to post-transplant outcomes.
