Introduction SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) and the COVID-19 vaccine have been linked to the development of persistent symptoms, including orthostatic intolerance (OI) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), in both children and adults. POTS is characterized by excessive tachycardia and other symptoms upon standing, significantly impacting quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings in pediatric patients with post-COVID-19 or post-COVID-19 vaccine OI and POTS.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for effective surface disinfection solutions, which has led to the use of mobile robots equipped with ultraviolet (UVC) lamps as a promising technology. This study aims to optimize the navigation of differential mobile robots equipped with UVC lamps to ensure maximum efficiency in disinfecting complex environments. Bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms such as the gazelle optimization algorithm, whale optimization algorithm, bat optimization algorithm, and particle swarm optimization are applied.

Background: Prone positioning improves oxygenation in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has been extensively applied in intensive care units (ICU) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although some complications due to the manoeuvre are well known, brachial plexus injury after prone positioning is reported as a rare complication and the phenomenon could be either very rare or underestimated.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of swimmer position during prone ventilation on the onset of brachial plexus injury in patients admitted to ICU for ARDS.

Introduction: Individuals who survive acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) might experience diaphragm muscle weakness. Diaphragm ultrasound may be an easy-to-obtain bedside tool for determining diaphragm function. However, twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure (twPdi) following magnetic stimulation (MS) of the phrenic nerves is the gold standard for non-volitional assessment of diaphragm strength.

Objectives: This scoping review aimed to identify studies that address the use of physical therapy in the rehabilitation of adult and elderly patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: This scoping review was based on Joanna Briggs Institute methodology: participant (P), represented by adult and elderly patients after SARS-CoV-2; concept (C), main physical therapy interventions; and context (C), recovery period after SARS-CoV-2 (in-hospital or outpatient phase). The following information sources were used: MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, PEDro, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Springer.
