A motley postacute symptomatology may develop after COVID-19, irrespective of the acute disease severity, age, and comorbidities. Frail individuals have reduced physiological reserves manifested a worse COVID-19 course, during setting. However, it is still unknown, whether frailty subtend some long manifestations. We explored prevalence disturbs in survivals. This was an observational study. Patients aged 65 years or older were followed-up 1, 3, 6 months hospitalization for pneumonia. total...

Background acute illnesses, like COVID-19, can act as a catabolic stimulus on muscles. So far, no study has evaluated muscle mass and quality through limb ultrasound in post-COVID-19 patients. Methods cross sectional observational study, including patients seen one month after hospital discharge for SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. The underwent multidimensional evaluation. Moreover, we performed dominant medial gastrocnemius (US) to characterize their quality. Results two hundred fifty-nine...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to neuropsychiatric sequelae. Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective amide used in depressive syndromes. Here we investigate whether micronized/ultramicronized (m/um) PEA improves sequelae COVID-19 survivors. Patients evaluated at our post-COVID-19 outpatient clinic between February August 2021 presenting manifestations ( n = 98) were offered treatment with m/umPEA 600 mg twice daily for 3 months. Those accepting...

This study investigated the longitudinal changes in handgrip strength (HGS) over six months post-hospital discharge COVID-19 patients and explores associations between HGS, health-related quality life, dyspnoea, exercise capacity, body mass index (BMI). Methods: Adult were followed up at one, three, after hospital discharge. BMI,...

Introduction Chronic autoimmune (type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease) metabolic/cardiovascular 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension) diseases are highly prevalent across all age ranges representing a major public health burden. Universal screening for prediction/early identification of these conditions is potential tool reducing their impact on the general population. The aim this study to assess whether universal using capillary blood sampling feasible at population-based level. Methods...
