COVID-19 and fertility: a virtual reality
(2020)The COVID-19 pandemic is an extraordinary global situation, and all countries have adopted their own strategies to diminish and eliminate the spread of the virus. All measures are in line with the recommendations provided ... -
COVID-19 and human reproduction: A pandemic that packs a serious punch
(2021)The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a worldwide health emergency that has impacted 188 countries at last count. The rapid community transmission and relatively high mortality rates with COVID-19 in modern times are relatively ... -
COVID-19 associated pulmonary embolism with D-dimer values within the referent range: A case report and review of the literature
(2021)OBJECTIVE: COVID-19 is associated with an increased incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE). Elevated D-dimer levels are linked to an increased risk of PE and poor clinical outcome. We reported a case of PE in a COVID-19 ... -
COVID-19 in Children with Asthma
(2021)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects both children and adults but epidemiological and clinical data demonstrate that children are less likely to have a severe disease course or die. Furthermore, ... -
