Recent reports of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) developing pneumothorax correspond mainly to case describing mechanically ventilated patients. The real incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcome spontaneous (SP) as a form COVID-19 presentation remain be defined.Do the risk factors, outcomes SP in attending EDs differ compared without non-COVID-19 SP?This case-control study retrospectively reviewed all diagnosed (case group) 61 Spanish (20% EDs) them two control...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Multicentre studies focussing on specific long-term post-COVID-19 symptoms are scarce. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to determine the levels fatigue and dyspnoea, repercussions daily life activities, risk factors associated with or dyspnoea in COVID-19 survivors at long term after hospital discharge. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Age, gender, height, weight, hospitalization,...
Abstract This study investigated the prevalence of long-term musculoskeletal post-COVID pain and their risk factors in a large cohort COVID-19 survivors. A multicenter including patients hospitalised because 5 hospitals Madrid (Spain) during first wave pandemic was conducted. Hospitalisation clinical data were collected from medical records. Patients scheduled for telephone interview after hospital discharge collecting about pain. Anxiety/depressive levels sleep quality likewise assessed....
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus is associated with psychological/emotional disturbances. This study aimed to assess internal consistency, reliability, and construct validity of the Hospital Anxiety Depressive Scale (HADS), as a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for evaluating emotional consequences SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized COVID-19 survivors long COVID. The LONG-COVID-EXP-CM multicenter cohort including patients by during first wave pandemic five...
The aim of the study was to identify association between four selected COVID-19 polymorphisms ACE2 and TMPRSS2 receptors genes with presence long-COVID symptomatology in survivors. These were as they associate entry SARS-CoV-2 virus into cells, so could be important for prognoses symptoms. Two hundred ninety-three (n = 293, 49.5% female, mean age: 55.6 ± 12.9 years) individuals who had been previously hospitalized due included. Three potential genotypes following single nucleotide (SNPs)...
To analyze factors related to the use of digoxin treat patients with acute heart failure (AHF) in emergency departments (EDs) and impact treatment on short-term outcomes.
Genetics and epigenetics are mechanisms proposed for explaining post-COVID-19 condition. This secondary analysis aimed to investigate if DNA methylation levels of the ACE2 promoter different depending on genotype five COVID-19-related polymorphisms in individuals who had been previously hospitalized due SARS-CoV-2 infection. We collected non-stimulated saliva samples from 279 (48.7% female, age: 56.0 ± 12.5 years) COVID-19 survivors. The participants self-reported presence post-COVID...
To investigate the effects of psychological (anxiety, depression, pain catastrophizing) aspects, sensitivity, cognitive performance and executive functions, on perception during a distraction task in an acute laboratory young elderly adults. Twenty-six (age: 20.0 ± 1.6 years) thirty-three 68.0 3.8 adults completed four self-reported questionnaires (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale—HADS, Pain Symptoms Scale-20—PASS/20, Catastrophizing Scale—PCS, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index—PSQI), pressure...
Our aim was to describe the referred pain pattern and areas from trigger points (TrPs) in head, neck, shoulder muscles children with chronic tension type headache (CTTH). Fifty (14 boys, 36 girls, mean age: 8 ± 2) CTTH 50 age- sex- matched participated. Bilateral temporalis, masseter, superior oblique, upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, suboccipital, levator scapula were examined for TrPs by an assessor blinded children's condition. identified palpation considered active when local pains...
Case-control study with blinded examiner.To investigate if pressure pain sensitivity is related to specific nerve trunks in the upper extremity of patients either unilateral lateral epicondylalgia (LE) or carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).In clinical setting, LE tend exhibit radial trunk tenderness, whereas CTS median tenderness. No studies have investigated hypersensitivity exists CTS.Sixteen women (mean±SD age, 43±7 years), 17 (43±6 and healthy years) were included this study. Pressure...
The aim of this study was to identify the association between four selected inflammatory polymorphisms with development long-term post-COVID symptoms in subjects who had been hospitalized due SARS-CoV-2 infection during first wave pandemic. These were as they are associated severe COVID-19 disease and cytokine storm, so could be important prognoses post-COVID. A total 408 (48.5% female, age: 58.5 ± 14.0 years) previously survivors participated. three potential genotypes following...
Abstract To investigate the association between three selected pain polymorphisms and clinical, functional, sensory-related, psychophysical, psychological or cognitive variables in a sample of women with fibromyalgia (FMS). One hundred twenty-three (n = 123) FMS completed demographic (age, height, weight), clinical (years pain, intensity at rest during daily living activities), functional (quality life, physical function), sensory-related (sensitization-associated neuropathic-associated...
It is known that SARS-CoV-2 can translocate via membrane ACE2 exopeptidase into the host cells, and thus hypomethylation of possibly upregulates its expression, enhancing risk infection. This study investigated if DNA methylation levels promoter are associated with development post-COVID-19 symptomatology in a cohort COVID-19 survivors who had been previously hospitalized. Non-stimulated saliva samples were obtained from 279 (51.5 male, mean age: 56.5 ± 13.0 years old) hospitalized during...
The aims of this study were: (1) to investigate the association between rs4680 Val158Met polymorphism in frequent episodic tension-type headache (FETTH) and chronic (CTTH); (2) analyze with clinical, psychological, or psychophysical variables.
Objective: To investigate the association of different, selected pain polymorphisms with presence de novo long-COVID symptoms and to analyze between these clinical, sensory-related, cognitive psychological variables in COVID-19 survivors. Methods: Two hundred ninety-three (n = 293, 49.5% female, mean age: 55.6 ± 12.9 years) previously hospitalized survivors participated. Three genotypes following single nucleotide (SNPs) were obtained from non-stimulated saliva: OPRM1 (rs1799971), COMT...
The role of genetics as a predisposing factor related to an increased risk developing long COVID symptomatology is under debate. aim the current secondary analysis was identify association between Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene, gene affecting cholesterol metabolism and previously associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 infection COVID-19 severity, development in cohort individuals who had been hospitalized by infection. Unstimulated whole saliva samples were collected from 287 survivors. Three...
Introduction: The aim was to investigate bilateral, wide-spread pressure pain hyperalgesia in symptomatic (trigeminocervical) and non-symptomatic (pain-free distant) regions children with frequent episodic tension-type headache (FETTH). Methods: Twenty-five children, 6 boys 19 girls (mean age, 8.9 ± 1.8 years) FETTH 50 age- sex-matched healthy (12 boys, 38 girls; mean age: 8.8 1.7 were recruited. Pressure thresholds (PPTs) bilaterally assessed over temporalis muscle, upper trapezius second...
Objective. Identification of subjects with different sensitization mechanisms can help to identify better therapeutic strategies for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The aim the current study was subgroups women CTS levels sensitization. Methods. A total 223 were recruited. Self-reported variables included pain intensity, function, disability, and depression. Pressure thresholds (PPT) assessed bilaterally over median, ulnar, radial nerves, C5-C6 joint, tunnel, tibialis anterior assess...
