Multi-Modal Point-of-Care Diagnostics for COVID-19 Based on Acoustics and Symptoms.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to invent alternative respiratory health diagnosis methodologies which provide improvement with respect to time, cost, physical distancing and detection performance. In this context, identifying acoustic bio-markers of respiratory diseases has received renewed interest.

Objective: In this paper, we aim to design COVID-19 diagnostics based on analyzing the acoustics and symptoms data.

Long COVID: "And the fire rages on".

With the increasing cohort of COVID-19 survivors worldwide, we now realize the proportionate rise in post-COVID-19 syndrome. In this review article, we try to define, summarize, and classify this syndrome systematically. This would help clinicians to identify and manage this condition more efficiently.

Reinfection in COVID-19: A scoping review.

Reinfections in COVID-19 are being reported all around the world and are a cause for concern, considering that a lot of our assumptions and modeling (including vaccination) related to the disease have relied on long-term immunity. We were one of the first groups to report a series of 4 healthcare workers to have been reinfected. This review article reports a scoping review of the available literature on reinfections, with a discussion of the implications of reinfections.

A 12-year-old girl with Hodgkin's disease presenting as a non-resolving pneumonia and an endobronchial nodule.

The presence of a non-resolving pneumonia warrants the suspicion of a possible malignancy. While pulmonary involvement in Hodgkin's disease can present as a non-resolving pneumonia, the clinical clues of dyspnoea, stridor and wheeze point to a possible endobronchial involvement. A bronchoscopy in such a situation can be valuable for diagnosis, and can aid in staging of the disease.
