Article Synopsis
- A study conducted on aged patients with COVID-19 pneumonia at a hospital in Italy aimed to define the immune responses related to the infection, particularly focusing on the effects of vaccination.
- The study analyzed humoral responses (like antibody production) and cellular responses (like T-cell counts), comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated patients to understand their immunity levels and disease severity.
- Results showed unvaccinated patients had worse outcomes and lower immune responses, with vaccinated individuals exhibiting higher antibody levels and T-cell counts, especially against the Delta variant.
This study aims to investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in public spaces and assess the utility of inexpensive air purifiers equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for viral detection. Samples were collected from six community-based organizations in underserved minority neighborhoods in Northwest Miami, Florida, from February to May 2022. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect SARS-CoV-2 in air purifier filters and surface swabs.

Background: Hypothalamic-pituitary region lymphoma is rare and diabetes insipidus (DI) represents one of the most common endocrine manifestations. We report the first case of hypothalamic lymphoma associated with both the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) and DI.
Case Presentation: A 64-year-old woman with a history of stage IV large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, underwent atypical right lung resection for pulmonary nodules.
