Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a single-stranded, positive-sense, enveloped ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus. SARS-CoV-2 and its associated disease coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic in the year 2019-2020. COVID-19 has caused widespread death, economic burden, and overcrowding of hospitals. As of September 2020, there is no reliable pharmacological treatment for patients affected by COVID-19. Herein we present a case of a 41-year-old Caucasian female who presented to the emergency department with flu-like symptoms for the past five days. The patient was admitted for COVID-19 symptoms and subsequently developed COVID-19 associated thrombotic syndrome and ischemic stroke. Below, we discuss risk factors, pathology, and rare manifestations resulting from COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 primarily affects the lungs, but a review of the current literature shows limited cases of ischemic stroke and diffuse thrombosis induced by infection of the novel COVID-19 in relatively healthy individuals with minimal risk factors.

Objectives: To explore the efficacy of ofatumumab in new onset narcolepsy type 1 following SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: We present a 9-year-old girl who experienced new onset narcolepsy type 1 following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Polysomnography (PSG) followed by a daytime multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) was under taken after admission.
Flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation versus a GnRH antagonist protocol in predicted suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles: a randomized non-inferiority trial.

Study Question: Are live birth rates (LBRs) per woman following flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (fPPOS) treatment non-inferior to LBRs per woman following the conventional GnRH-antagonist protocol in expected suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles in assisted reproduction treatment?
Summary Answer: In women expected to have a suboptimal response, the 12-month likelihood of live birth with the fPPOS treatment did not achieve the non-inferiority criteria when compared to the standard GnRH antagonist protocol for IVF/ICSI treatment with a freeze-all strategy.
What Is Known Already: The standard PPOS protocol is effective for ovarian stimulation, where medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is conventionally administered in the early follicular phase for ovulatory suppression. Recent retrospective cohort studies on donor cycles have shown the potential to prevent premature ovulation and maintain oocyte yields by delaying the administration of MPA until the midcycle (referred to as fPPOS), similar to GnRH antagonist injections.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe labor and delivery nurses' experiences in caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: We used a descriptive phenomenological design and purposeful sampling to recruit experienced labor and delivery nurses for flexible semi-structured face-to-face audiotaped interviews. Constant comparison was used to analyze data.

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common medical complication of pregnancy that leads to adverse outcomes for both infants and pregnant people. Early detection and treatment can mitigate these negative outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic strained healthcare and laboratory services, including GDM screening programs.
