Article Synopsis
- Symptoms of Post-COVID-19 Condition are often vague, making it hard to identify them compared to other medical issues.
- In the study, over one-third of emergency department patients with confirmed COVID-19 infections showed symptoms fitting the World Health Organization's criteria for Post-COVID-19 Condition three months later.
- Notably, one in five patients who tested negative reported similar symptoms, indicating the current clinical criteria's lack of specificity and the need for continued testing during acute infections.
Background: Physiological and psychosocial changes experienced by women during the perinatal period may put them at risk for postpartum mental health disturbances. Accumulating evidence suggests that dietary patterns may influence mental health through the modulation of the gut microbiota and its effects on host immune activity. Thus, targeting the gut microbiota via dietary intake could serve as both a preventative and therapeutic strategy in improving perinatal mental health.

Methods: Patients who underwent surgical fixation of FNF or VCF were retrospectively reviewed at a minimum 1 year follow up. Patients were excluded if their fracture was caused by high energy trauma or malignancy, <50 years-old, deceased, or lost to follow up.
Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Of individuals with MDD, 30% to 50% are unresponsive to common antidepressants, highlighting untapped causal biological mechanisms. Dysfunction in the microbiota-gut-brain axis has been implicated in MDD pathogenesis.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the value of routinely obtaining AFB and fungal cultures in foot and ankle surgery at a US hospital.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted to determine the number of positive AFB and fungal cultures out of the total number of foot and ankle samples tested.
