Furthermore, compared with other pediatric populations, adolescents have experienced higher rates of COVID-19-associated hospitalization. COVID-19 vaccine decision-making in adolescents during COVID-19 surges is not well understood.

Coronaviruses (CoV) encode sixteen non-structural proteins (nsps), most of which form the replication-transcription complex (RTC). The RTC contains a core composed of one nsp12 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), two nsp8s and one nsp7. The core RTC recruits other nsps to synthesize all viral RNAs within the infected cell.

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is the most common running-related pathology among masters runners. Previous evidence suggests there are no differences in submaximal running biomechanics between masters runners with and without AT. Evidence suggests lower extremity power deficits are common among ageing individuals and those with AT.

Purpose: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET), excluding prolactinoma, often requires endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES). Identifying predictive factors for complications, and particularly rare ones such as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) that may affect fertility, is challenging. This study investigated de-novo postoperative HH and its potential impact on fertility.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder characterized by several behavioral impairments, especially in socialization, communication, and the occurrence of stereotyped behaviors. In rats, prenatal exposure to valproic acid (VPA) induces autistic-like behaviors. Previous studies by our group have suggested that the autistic-like phenotype is possibly related to dopaminergic system modulation because tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression was affected.
