COVID-19: Perioperative Risk Assessment
The team analyzed composite odds of various cardiovascular problems within 30 days following surgery: deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident, myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, and death.
COVID in Children | Guidelines for Management of COVID-19 in Children
Covid-19 virus has affected many children during the second wave. Many factors play a role in COVID in children and the management of COVID in children. Therefore, it is highly essential for parents to know and understand the symptoms in children.

‘The incidence of the 30-day composite outcome dropped steeply at first, from approximately 18% to 10% over the first 100 days after COVID-19 diagnosis.’

It then proceeded to dwindle steadily for the next 10 months, reaching approximately 8% after 400 days from COVID-19 diagnosis. The rate of decreasing risk was unaffected by patients’ COVID-19 vaccination status. “Compared to previous population studies of this issue, ours is distinguished for tracking surgical outcomes more broadly and using a longer time horizon from COVID-19 diagnosis,” said Robert Freundlich, MD, MSCI, associate professor of Anesthesiology and Biomedical Informatics, who led the study with critical care medicine fellow John Bryant, MD.
“As we were midway in our study, based on postoperative pulmonary outcomes one medical society issued a recommendation to delay surgery after COVID-19 by up to 12 weeks in more severe cases of COVID-19,” Freundlich said. “Meanwhile, with respect to this range of cardiovascular problems, in our data we were surprised to find a trend of subsiding risk still discernable more than a year after COVID-19 diagnosis.”
Dysphagia Has Emerged as 'Top' Clinical Symptom Among COVID-19 Patients
Dysphagia is a new symptom of COVID-19 during the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant wave.

Shift Workers are at a Higher Risk of Severe COVID-19
When examining COVID-19 risk factors, shift work may be an additional consideration for appropriate intervention and management of at-risk individuals.

Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.
