Caregiving During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Factors Associated With Feelings of Caregiver Preparedness.

Examination of caregiver preparedness for the COVID-19 pandemic can inform efforts to support caregivers in future times of global crisis. Informal caregivers of adults with dementia or severe disabilities ( = 72, = 62.82 years, 90.

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Changes in Patients with Dentofacial Deformities Class II and III after Orthognathic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Unlabelled: Our aim was to assess the impact of combined orthodontic-surgical treatment on patients' oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) according to type of dentofacial deformities, by synthesizing the available evidence.

Methods: Search was conducted in the PubMed, Embase/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. The eligibility criteria were studies that measured OHRQoL before-after orthognathic surgery, with results disaggregated by Class II and III.

Antibody Response to SARS-CoV-2 is Associated with Long-term Clinical Outcome in Patients with COVID-19: a Longitudinal Study.

Background: The relationship of host immune response and viral replication with health outcomes in patients with COVID-19 remains to be defined. We aimed to characterize the medium and long-term clinical, virological, and serological outcomes after hospitalization for COVID-19, and to identify predictors of long-COVID.

Methods: Prospective, longitudinal study conducted in COVID-19 patients confirmed by RT-PCR.

COVID-19-associated encephalitis successfully treated with combination therapy.

Background: Acute encephalitis can occur in different viral diseases due to infection of the brain or by an immune mechanism. Severe novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a major immune inflammatory response with cytokine upregulation including interleukin 6 (IL-6). We report a case presenting with acute encephalitis that was diagnosed as having severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection with hyperinflammatory systemic response and recovered after therapy with immunoglobulins and cytokine blockade.

Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory potential of Solidago microglossa (Arnica-brasileira) in vivo and its effects on PPARγ activity.

Solidago microglossa is used as an anti-inflammatory agent in traditional Brazilian medicine, and this work evaluated the anti-inflammatory potential of the crude ethanolic extract of the flowers of S. microglossa in vivo, as assayed by paw edema models induced by carrageenan, prostaglandin E2, bradykinin and compound 48/80. In the chemical profile, we identified compounds by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and quantified them by HPLC-DAD.
