Scimitar syndrome with large atrial septal defect and a rare partial anomalous venous drainage in an adult: a case report.

Background: Scimitar syndrome is a very rare congenital cardio-pulmonary disease with anomalous right pulmonary vein draining either partially or completely into the inferior vena cava. It is called Scimitar syndrome due to the classical appearance in the chest X-ray, which resembles the curved blade of Turkish sword 'Scimitar'. It commonly associates with atrial septal defect (ASD), hypoplasia of the right lung, dextroposition of the heart, and pulmonary hypertension (PHT).

A prospective cohort study on post COVID syndrome from a tertiary care centre in Sri Lanka.

There is a scarcity of follow-up data on post-COVID syndrome and its physical, psychological, and quality of life attributes, particularly from South Asian populations. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence, associations, and impact of the post-COVID syndrome among patients treated at a dedicated COVID-19 treatment unit. A prospective cohort study was conducted to follow-up patients with moderate to severe disease or mild disease with co-morbidities at 2 and 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months and 1 year from discharge.
