Article Synopsis
- A study in Australia explored the experiences of family carers supporting individuals with mental health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting increased anxiety and distress due to service disruptions.
- Researchers used a 71-question online survey to gather data on family carers' experiences, revealing that they often supported multiple people, resulting in increased caregiving hours and complex challenges.
- The findings suggest that government policies during the pandemic did not adequately address the financial, practical, or emotional needs of family carers, potentially leading to negative mental health outcomes for them.
Introduction/purpose: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a widely spread viral infectious disease, which can impact multiple organs, including the liver. Elevated liver enzymes have been reported in COVID-19 patients; however, potential changes in liver stiffness following the viral infection remain uncertain. The main aim of this pilot study was to determine if there is a significant difference in liver stiffness between individuals who have never been infected with COVID-19 and those who had been infected with COVID-19 <6 months, experiencing only mild symptoms.

However, there are no established room AL levels recommended during an ultrasound examination. We aim to examine the diagnostic accuracy using different intensity of AL for the detection of liver lesions in anonymised pre-recorded cine-clips.
