Article Synopsis
  • - Clinical data show that COVID-19 can lead to cardiovascular issues, regardless of how severe the infection is, with a focus on how the virus affects the elasticity of endothelial cells.
  • - Researchers studied human pulmonary endothelial cells (HPAECs) to understand the effects of nonproductive SARS-CoV-2 infection, finding that it leads to a loss of cell elasticity and triggers inflammation, while a different cell type (A549) that supports viral replication showed increased elasticity.
  • - The study also found that various SARS-CoV-2 variants (Alpha, Beta, Delta) impair endothelial cell elasticity, suggesting that these changes could contribute to clinical problems related to endothelial dysfunction.

The aim of the study was to define the effect of different short-term metro-rhythmic stimulations on the time and spatial parameters of gait. The secondary goal was to test whether prior instructions on how to respond to stimulations played a significant role in the stimulation by sound stimuli. Experimental tests of gait were conducted on a group of 36 healthy participants: group 1-subjects who were not informed how to react after hearing sound stimuli, group 2-subjects who received a clear instruction before the test to adjust the frequency of taking steps to the rhythm of the music.
