Universal COVID-19 immunization is seen as a critical approach for limiting the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and reducing danger new variations emerging in general population, especially pregnant women. The literature accessible research data indicate that vaccination intentions vary greatly by country, with Romania ranking among European nations lowest rates. Thus, we aimed to investigate prevalence extent vaccine hesitancy women factors influencing their decision. A cross-sectional study was...
Globally, COVID-19 vaccines are currently being used to prevent transmission and reduce morbidity death associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Current research reveals that such as BNT162b2 Ad26.COV2.S highly immunogenic have high short-term effectiveness for most of the known viral variants. Clinical trials showed satisfying results in general population, but reluctance testing vaccinating pregnant women left this category little evidence regarding safety, efficacy, immunogenicity following...
Clinical trials for COVID-19 vaccines initially excluded pregnant women due to safety concerns, and when the were authorized emergency use, they not recommended this population. However, observational studies discovered that infected with have higher risks of negative pregnancy delivery outcomes compared non-pregnant women, raising question risks-benefits administering women. By mid-2021, there was general consensus on relative vaccination during pregnancy; therefore, it is critical...
This study conducted a detailed analysis of the vaginal microbiota in pregnant women to explore its correlation with preterm birth (PTB) outcomes. The primary objective was identify microbial variations associated increased PTB risk. Secondary objectives included investigating how changes composition relate local immune environment and PTB. Utilizing retrospective case–control design, involved liveborn infants between 2019 2023. In total, 89 who delivered 106 term deliveries were included....
This longitudinal study investigates the psychosocial effects of long-COVID Syndrome, a domain still not extensively researched. It specifically evaluates quality life, coping mechanisms, anxiety and depression levels in COVID-19 survivors, differentiating between those with without Syndrome. Conducted at Victor Babes Hospital for Infectious Diseases Pulmonology Timisoara, Romania, utilized cohort patients diagnosed mild to moderate COVID-19. The following standardized tools: WHOQOL-BREF...
Background and Objectives: The ongoing pandemic proved to be a tremendous challenge all economic layers, healthcare, people safety. As more than one year elapsed since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, multitude medical studies involving SARS-CoV-2 virus helped researchers practitioners in understanding effects it has on sorts patients until effective vaccines were finally developed distributed for mass vaccination. Still, its new variants remain potential threat towards categories...
Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing public health emergency. Patients with chronic diseases are at greater risk for complications poor outcomes. objective of this study was to investigate the liver function abnormalities clinical outcomes in patients hepatitis C. Materials Methods: This retrospective, single-center conducted on a cohort 126 history C, confirmed between 01 April 2020 30 December 2020. Several were compared active non-active HCV infection, risks...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was observed that patients with heart disease are more likely to be hospitalized and develop severe COVID-19. Cardiac takes top position among patient comorbidities, failure (HF) prevalence reaching almost 5% in general population older than 35 years Romania. This retrospective study aimed determine potential use of NYHA classification for HF as prognostic tool in-hospital mortality, length hospitalization, probability rehospitalization decompensation. We...
SARS-CoV-2 infection produces alterations in blood clotting, especially severe cases of COVID-19. Abnormal coagulation parameters patients with COVID-19 are important prognostic factors disease severity. The objective this study was to evaluate the predictive value aPTT, D-dimer, INR and PT mortality A retrospective, single-center, observational conducted on admitted Municipal Emergency Clinical Hospital Timisoara, Romania, between August October 2021. Patients were confirmed as positive by...
Magnesium may contribute to the immune response during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection by acting as a cofactor for immunoglobulin production other processes required T B cell activity. Considering magnesium recommended dietary supplement pregnancy possible role of deficiency in COVID-19 its complications, current study sought determine effect magnesium-containing nutritional supplements on following pregnant women, well observe differences outcomes based taken pregnancy. The followed...
Data on bacterial or fungal pathogens and their impact the mortality rates of Western Romanian COVID-19 patients are scarce. As a result, purpose this research was to determine prevalence co- superinfections in adults with COVID-19, hospitalized in-ward settings during second half pandemic, its distribution according sociodemographic clinical conditions. The unicentric retrospective observational study conducted 407 eligible patients. Expectorate sputum selected as sampling technique...
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of deaths across world. Prognostic scores can improve clinical management diagnosis and treatment. The objective this study was to assess predictive role 4C Mortality, CURB-65, NEWS in mortality among Romanian population. A single-center, retrospective, observational conducted on patients with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-proven admitted Municipal Emergency Clinical Hospital Timisoara, Romania, between 1 October...
The multiplex PCR is a powerful and efficient tool that was widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infections has applications for bacterial identification, as well determining resistance antibiotics. Therefore, this study aimed determine usability of PCR, especially in patients self-medicated with antibiotics, where cultures often give false-negative results. A cross-sectional developed two units, 489 eligible were included antibiotic takers non-antibiotic takers....
Anemia is a very common occurrence during pregnancy, with important variations each trimester. was also considered as risk factor for severity and negative outcomes in patients SARS-CoV-2 infection. As the COVID-19 pandemic poses significant threat pregnant women terms of infection access to care, we developed study determine impact nutritional supplementation iron deficiency anemia correlation status In case-control design, identified 446 pregnancies that matched our inclusion criteria from...
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific illness that hypothesized to occur due vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy. Therefore, supplementation in early pregnancy should be explored for preventing preeclampsia and promoting neonatal well-being. The present study follows case-control analysis aims determine the effect of supplements on reducing probability recurrent preeclampsia. We identified 59 patients control group without pregnancy, while 139 were included cases pregnant women with history...
