The COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in all medical and demographic indicators, including changes in the incidence of the population. The article provides an analysis of the age characteristics of the primary morbidity of the population in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. A pattern has been determined: the highest rates of primary morbidity in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic (for 2020) were determined in the age group older than working age. It was in this group that the highest incidence rates of COVID-19 were established. On the contrary, a comparative analysis of the primary morbidity of children (0-14 years old) in Russia as a whole in the «pre-pandemic» year (2019) and in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020) showed a decrease in the level of this indicator by 13.9% (from 172455.1 to 148537.7 per 100 thousand population, р < 0.05). Among the child population, 1208.3‱ cases of COVID-19 were registered. Thus, in the Central Federal District, the indicators of primary morbidity of children were lower than the general.

Purpose Of Review: Our review critically examines research on trends in mental health among US adults following the COVID-19 pandemic's onset and makes recommendations for research on the topic.

Recent Findings: Studies comparing pre-pandemic nationally representative government surveys ("benchmark surveys") with pandemic-era non-benchmark surveys generally estimated 3-4-fold increases in the prevalence of adverse mental-health outcomes following the pandemic's onset. However, studies analyzing trends in repeated waves of a single survey, which may carry a lower risk of bias, generally estimated much smaller increases in adverse outcomes.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, remains endemic worldwide ∼5 years since the first documented case. Severe COVID-19 is widely considered to be caused by a dysregulated immune response to SARS-CoV-2 within the respiratory tract. Circulating levels of the chemokine CXCL10 are strongly positively associated with poor outcome; however, its precise role in pathogenesis and its suitability as a therapeutic target have remained undefined.
