COVID-19-associated discrimination (CAD) is an important issue that may adversely affect frontline nurses' work effectiveness and well-being. This study examined the relationships between frontline nurses' perceptions of COVID-19-associated discrimination and their resilience, mental health, and professional-turnover intention. This cross-sectional descriptive study involved 259 frontline nurses in the Central Philippines and used four online self-report measures. The results revealed that frontline nurses perceived a moderate level of COVID-19-associated discrimination. Frontline nurses who perceived a higher level of discrimination during the coronavirus pandemic reported poorer mental health and higher professional-turnover intention. Resilience acted as a mediator and reduced the effects of COVID-19-associated discrimination on nurses' mental health and their professional-turnover intention. Proactive measures to reduce the negative consequences of discrimination during the pandemic, and efforts to foster resilience in nurses who are in the forefront of the fight against the highly transmissible virus, should be given high priority by hospital and nursing administrators to better support nurses' mental health and foster retention.

Comparative analyses of post-infectious olfactory dysfunction between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 cases.

To identify the differences between COVID-19-associated and non-COVID-19-associated olfactory dysfunction (OD), we analyzed demographic and clinical characteristics based on the causative virus (COVID versus non-COVID groups) in patients with post-infectious olfactory dysfunction (PIOD) who underwent the olfactory questionnaire and olfactory function test. Out of 169 patients with PIOD, 99 were diagnosed with COVID-19 (COVID group), while 70 were not (non-COVID group). The COVID group was younger and had a higher percentage of male patients as well as patients with parosmia than the non-COVID group.

Introduction: In post-COVID survivors, transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF-β1) might mediate fibroblast activation, resulting in persistent fibrosis.
Methods: In this study, 82 survivors of COVID-19-associated ARDS were examined at 6- and 24-months post-ICU discharge. At 6-months, quantitative CT analysis of lung attenuation was performed and active TGF-β1 was measured in blood and exhaled breath condensate (EBC).
Brain fog assessment in patients recovered from COVID-19 in China: a development and validation study.

Background: Post coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the widespread emergence and persistence of brain fog has led to a decline in people's productivity and quality of life. However, the clinical characteristics of COVID-19-associated brain fog are unclear, and standardized assessments are lacking. This study aims to develop a scale for brain fog assessment and support clinical practice and research.

Background: Acute respiratory failure is the main clinical manifestation and a major cause of death in patients with COVID-19. However, few reports on its prevention and control have been published because of the need for laboratory predictive indicators. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of hematocrit level, serum albumin level difference, and fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio for COVID-19-associated acute respiratory failure.

Department of Neurology, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Research on the relationship between mild COVID-19 and the subsequent development of isolated optic neuritis (ON) with antibodies specific to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG-ON) and aquaporin 4 (AQP4-ON) is limited, particularly case-control studies that directly compare these conditions within the same affected population.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of initial MOG-ON and AQP4-ON cases during the COVID-19 peak and subsequent months. Patients were classified as possible COVID-19 related ON (PCRON) or non-COVID-19 related ON (NCRON).
