As COVID-19 evolves from a pandemic to an endemic disease, the already staggering number of people that have been or will be infected with SARS-CoV-2 is only destined to increase, and the majority of ...
Acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes various cardiovascular complications. However, it is unknown if there are cardiovascular sequelae in the medium and long-term. The aim of this study wa...
A case-control study was performed. Virologically proven COVID-19 cases and age- and gender-matched controls were interviewed to assess symptoms and HRQoL. Biochemical tests were also performed....
The study comprised 174 cases and 75 controls. The mean age of the participants was 46.1±13.8 years. The median follow-up was 173.5 days (interquartile range 129-193.25 days). There was no significant...
Post-COVID-19 patients have persistent symptomatology at medium-term follow-up. Higher hsCRP in cases and the positive association of hsCRP with time suggest ongoing systemic inflammation in patients ...
There has been little consensus for a specific definition of long COVID, though several organizations have created varying ones. We sought to examine the definition of long COVID used in ongoing clini...
We searched 'long COVID' and related terms on both PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov for randomized studies that either included patients with long COVID or had a persistent or long-term COVID-related out...
Of the 92 studies, a laboratory-only confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 was stipulated in 54.3% (n = 50) studies. We found eight different time durations specified for how long symptoms needed to have oc...
Standardized definitions of long COVID should be applied in studies assessing this condition to unify and harmonize research on this topic....
Intra-abdominal and pelvic seeding of hepatic cystic echinococcosis to various organs is a known feature of the disease. Dissemination into distal extremities is uncommon and in this report, we presen...
A 68-year-old male presented with swelling in the right upper leg and discomfort in the right popliteal region. Work-up revealed various cystic mass lesions of different sizes within the liver, intra-...
Hepatic cysts can be easily observed with ultrasonography and the WHO-Informal Working Group on Echinococcosis (WHO-IWGE) classification system is commonly used to further classify cysts. The work-up ...
Extrahepatic dissemination of cystic echinococcosis is commonly encountered in endemic areas. Rarely, hepatic cysts can spread beyond the abdomen towards the distal extremities. Therefore, cystic echi...
This review aimed to explore the available literature to update our understanding of the long head of biceps (LHB) at the shoulder. Synthesise our findings to identify emergent themes and knowledge ga...
PubMed, Embase, Cinahl, SportDiscus, CENTRAL, and Web of Science were searched from inception to 31st December 2021. Articles were included if they referenced adult participants > 18 years of age and ...
214 articles were included in the final analysis, and results were categorised into six emergent themes: (1) Anatomy - Normal anatomical variation of the biceps from aberrant origins, third and fourth...
The scoping review highlights the variability of biceps anatomy, which is not necessarily benign and suggests a minimal role of the LHB in shoulder elevation and stability in healthy individuals. In c...

Despite the increasing numbers of ankle arthroplasties, there are limited studies on their survival and comparisons between different implants. The primary aim of this study was to determine the failu...
The estimated prevalence of pituitary lesions is 10% to 38.5% in radiologic studies. However, how frequently these incidental lesions should be monitored by serial pituitary magnetic resonance imaging...

During the study period (from 2003 to 2021), 414 patients with pituitary microadenomas were identified. Of the 177 patients who had more than 1 MRI, 78 had no change in the size of the microadenoma ov...
Retrospective cohort, some patients were lost to follow-up for unknown reasons, and data were limited to local large institutions....
During the study period, approximately two thirds of the microadenomas remained unchanged or decreased in size. The growth, if any, was slow. These findings suggest that less frequent pituitary MRI su...

Several key plant hormones are synthesised in the shoot and are advected within the phloem to the root tip. In the root tip, these hormones regulate growth and developmental processes, and responses t...
Long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. More than 200 symptoms have been identified with imp...
The acute inflammatory reaction induced by tissue trauma causes pain but also promotes recovery. Recovery is highly variable among peoples. Effective acute pain (AP) management is very important but r...
Pain control during mobilization is mandatory to reduce the risk of complications which exacerbate and prolong the inflammatory response to trauma, impairing physical recovery. Common analgesic treatm...
Effective and safe AP management is of far greater importance than previously realized. Evidence of suboptimal AP management in many patients and recent reports pointing out the impact of current trea...
