AI Article Synopsis
- - The guidelines for managing COVID-19 have evolved significantly, emphasizing the importance of understanding disease prevention, cardiac effects, and safe return to physical activities for children and adolescents.
- - Mitigation strategies can decrease COVID-19 transmission, but their success varies; children generally face a low risk of severe illness, especially with vaccination, which greatly reduces adverse outcomes.
- - Efforts should focus on encouraging vaccinations in at-risk youth and promoting safe physical activity, recognizing its benefits for well-being and adjusting strategies based on community risk levels.
Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: COVID-19-related guidance has changed dramatically since the onset of the pandemic. Awareness of data regarding prevention of disease, the cardiac manifestations and treatment of acute COVID-19 and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, and return to physical activity following an infection allows for appropriate adjustment of current care models and guides future study.
Recent Findings: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmission can be reduced using various mitigation strategies, though their effectiveness differs based on viral prevalence. The risk of severe disease during acute COVID-19 infection is low in children and adolescents, though specific risk factors have been identified. COVID-19 vaccination significantly decreases the risk of severe disease and poor outcomes. Regular physical activity positively affects well being and has been a focus of recent guidance regarding well tolerated return to activities following an infection.
Summary: The use of strategies to reduce viral transmission will depend on individuals' and communities' risk tolerance and on current viral prevalence. COVID-19 vaccination should be encouraged, particularly in patients with identified risk factors. Allowing children and adolescents to safely participate in physical and other activities should continue to be a focus of our clinical and research efforts given their myriad benefits in this population.

Generation of a SARS-CoV-2-susceptible mouse model using adenovirus vector expressing human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 driven by an elongation factor 1α promoter with leftward orientation.

Introduction: To analyze the molecular pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), a small animal model such as mice is needed: human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), the receptor of SARS-CoV-2, needs to be expressed in the respiratory tract of mice.
Methods: We conferred SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility in mice by using an adenoviral vector expressing hACE2 driven by an elongation factor 1α (EF1α) promoter with a leftward orientation.
Results: In this model, severe pneumonia like human COVID-19 was observed in SARS-CoV-2-infected mice, which was confirmed by dramatic infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung with efficient viral replication.

Cardiovascular involvements are one of the most important and threatening problems of SARS-CoV-2 infection and can cause a wide range of clinical manifestations in children. Therefore, a review of previous studies is necessary to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular complications and reduce the risk of mortality in this age group of patients. To investigate the cardiovascular complications in children with COVID-19, international authoritative databases including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Persian databases were searched using the main concepts, all articles were published between January 2020 and November 2022.

COVID-19, a highly infectious disease, caused a worldwide pandemic in early 2020. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), COVID-19 has resulted in approximately 774 million cases and around 7 million deaths. The effects of COVID-19 are well known; however, there is a lack of information on the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the symptoms that comprise Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) or Long COVID-19.
