Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 virus remains a significant global challenge, potentially leading to systemic inflammation and damage to multiple organs.
- Researchers are still exploring the connections between COVID-19, vaccines, and thyroid diseases.
- This report presents a case of a previously healthy young man who developed new-onset Graves' disease following a COVID-19 infection and vaccination.
The first confirmed case of novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States was reported on January 20, 2020. As of November 24, 2020, close to 12.2 million cases of COVID-19 was confirmed in the US, with over 255,958 deaths.

Proc Math Phys Eng Sci
August 2017
We have designed and tested experimentally a morphing structure consisting of a neutrally stable thin cylindrical shell driven by a multi-parameter piezoelectric actuation. The shell is obtained by plastically deforming an initially flat copper disc, so as to induce large isotropic and almost uniform inelastic curvatures. Following the plastic deformation, in a perfectly isotropic system, the shell is theoretically neutrally stable, having a continuous set of stable cylindrical shapes corresponding to the rotation of the axis of maximal curvature.
