Study Objectives: To estimate overall and racial/ethnic-specific associations between COVID-19 infection status and sleep health.
Methods: We analyzed online survey data collected from December 2020-February 2021 among Asian, Black, Latino (English and Spanish-speaking), and White adults (n=1000 each), along with American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI), and multiracial adults (n=500). COVID-19 infection (confirmed, probable, suspected), based on self-reported data on symptoms and infected contacts, was classified using World Health Organization definitions. Sleep disturbances were categorized as 'yes' (mild/moderate/severe) versus 'no' (normal). Weighted analyses were used to generate nationally representative estimates within each racial/ethnic group. Adjusting for sociodemographic and health behaviors, Poisson regression with robust variance estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) for sleep disturbances among individuals with a COVID-19 infection vs. not in the overall population and by race/ethnicity, gender, and ability to get healthcare.
Results: Among 5,359 eligible participants, 24% had a COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection was associated with a 32% higher prevalence of sleep disturbances (PR=1.32 [95% CI: 1.22-1.42]). Associations of COVID-sleep associations were higher among AI/AN (PR=1.64 [1.30-2.08]), NH/PI (PR=1.53 [1.24-1.90]), and English-speaking Latino (PR=1.49 [1.20-1.86]) compared to White adults (PR=1.14 [0.93-1.41]), although confidence intervals overlapped,. The higher prevalence of sleep disturbances among women with COVID-19 (PR=1.32 [1.19-1.45]) was similar to men (PR=1.34 [1.18-1.53]). COVID-19 infection also had a similar association with sleep disturbances among participants who did and did not report being unable to get needed healthcare.
Conclusions: COVID-19 infections may lead to sleep disturbances, among racial/ethnic groups.

Background: Domestic violence (DV) encompasses a pattern of psychological, physical, sexual, financial, and/or emotional abuse, manifesting through assault, threats, and intimidation. Economic and social stressors in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic escalated DV cases worldwide, including those in Albania. Socioeconomic vulnerabilities worsened the situation, with DV-related complaints to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Albania increasing by 60% between March and May 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.

The prevalence of co-morbid anxiety and depression varies greatly between research studies, making it difficult to understand and estimate the magnitude of this problem. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to provide up-to-date information on the global prevalence of co-morbid anxiety and depression in pregnant and postpartum women and to further investigate the sources of heterogeneity. Systematic searches of eight electronic databases were conducted for original studies published from inception to December 10, 2024.

Generalized anxiety has significantly increased in the general population during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for rapid screening tools. In this context, the present study analyzed the psychometric properties and internal consistency of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) in healthcare workers and the general population in Latin America. A cross-sectional e-health study was conducted, surveying 11,279 Latin Americans online using snowball sampling.

Animal models are indispensable for unraveling the mechanisms underlying post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). This review evaluates recent research on PASC-related perturbations in animal models, drawing comparisons with clinical findings. Despite the limited number of studies on post-COVID conditions, particularly those extending beyond three months, these studies provide valuable insights.

Background And Aims: Autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1 (AAA1) are elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection and predict COVID-19 symptoms persistence at one year in adults, but whether this applies to children is unknown. We studied the association of SARS-CoV-2 exposure with AAA1 prevalence in children and the association of AAA1 seropositivity with symptom persistence.
Methods: Anti-SARS-CoV-2 and AAA1 serologies were examined in 1031 participants aged 6 months to 17 years old from the prospective SEROCOV-KIDS cohort and recruited between 12.
