This study aimed to determine which specific factors had a higher influence on QOL and to further compare the effects of intestinal symptoms and comorbidities on QOL.

Depression, anxiety and post-traumatic growth among COVID-19 survivors six-month after discharge.

Background: Pre-hospitalisation, hospitalisation and post-hospitalisation factors may significantly affect depression, anxiety and post-traumatic growth (PTG) among COVID-19 survivors.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in COVID-19 Survivors 6 Months After Hospital Discharge: An Application of the Conservation of Resource Theory.

COVID-19 survivors who had acute respiratory symptoms might experience prolonged post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to further rehabilitation, somatic symptoms and related distress. The conservation of resource (COR) theory is a well-developed theory to understand how people develop PTSD symptoms in traumatic events. The current study aimed to examine the potential factors of PTSD symptoms and interrelationships among this factors among COVID-19 survivors based on the COR theory.

Associations between COVID-19 related stigma and sleep quality among COVID-19 survivors six months after hospital discharge.

Background: Many COVID-19 survivors reported stigmatization after recovery. This study investigated the association between stigma (discrimination experiences, self-stigma and perceived affiliate stigma) and sleep quality among COVID-19 survivors six months after hospital discharge.

Pre-hospital, in-hospital and post-hospital factors associated with sleep quality among COVID-19 survivors 6 months after hospital discharge: cross-sectional survey in five cities in China.

Background: Understanding factors associated with post-discharge sleep quality among COVID-19 survivors is important for intervention development.

Aims: This study investigated sleep quality and its correlates among COVID-19 patients 6 months after their most recent hospital discharge.

Method: Healthcare providers at hospitals located in five different Chinese cities contacted adult COVID-19 patients discharged between 1 February and 30 March 2020.

Gastrointestinal involvement by mantle cell lymphoma identified by biopsy performed during endoscopy: A case report.

Rationale: Primary gastrointestinal mantle cell lymphoma is rare, and histopathological examination and specific immunohistochemical staining are still the gold standard for diagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to find a new way to improve positive biopsy rates.

Patient Concerns: A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with epigastric pain, abdominal distension, nausea, and melena.
