Studies on cognitive problems of persons with mild COVID-19 courses are still lacking. This study aimed to determine the frequency and associated factors subjective objective after in non-hospitalized persons. Study participants were examined at University Hospital Augsburg from 04/11/2020 26/05/2021. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) IV digit span, Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT), Regensburger verbal fluency test (RWT) and, ratings memory concentration applied. Of 372 (mean age...
Although “post-COVID-19 syndrome” (PCS) is reported to be common even in non-hospitalized individuals, long-term information on symptom burden, healthcare needs, utilization, and satisfaction with scarce. The objectives of this study were describe utilization experiences the offered for PCS a German sample persons 2 years after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Individuals past COVID-19 confirmed by positive polymerase chain reaction testing examined at University Hospital Augsburg from 4 November 2020...
Abstract Background Long-term information on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and mental health non-hospitalized individuals with „post COVID-19 syndrome“ (PCS) is scarce. Thus, the objectives present study were to compare HRQOL without PCS in a German sample persons after SARS-CoV-2 infection, characterize long-term course up 2 years identify predictors for post impairments. Methods Individuals past infection examined at University Hospital Augsburg from November 2020 May 2021...
Die Inzidenz tiefer Beinvenenthrombosen (TVT) bei intensivpflichtigen CoViD-19-Patienten wurde bisher nur in wenigen Studien untersucht. Prospektive vergleichende mit Non-CoViD-19-Intensivpatienten fehlen gänzlich. TVT an CoViD-19 erkrankten Intensivpatienten verglichen Non-CoViD-19-Patienten, die im selben Zeitraum auf den Intensivstationen des Universitätsklinikums Augsburg behandelt wurden, wurden erhoben. Zudem soll untersucht werden, welche Art der Antikoagulation zum Zeitpunkt...
Post-COVID-Fatigue (PCF) is one of the most reported symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Currently, research on persistent focuses mainly severe infections, while outpatients are rarely included in observations.To investigate whether severity PCF related to number acute and due mild-to-moderate COVID-19 compare common during infection with patients.A total 425 participants were examined after treated as an outpatient (median 249 days [IQR: 135; 322] disease) at site University Hospital...
Elevated D-dimer plasma concentrations are common in hospitalized COVID-19 patients and often associated with a worse prognosis, but it is not yet clear whether this also applies to outpatient cases. The present cross-sectional study evaluated levels their association clinical parameters inflammation biomarkers after disease individuals treated as outpatients. included 411 (43.3% men) an average age of 46.8 years (SD 15.2). Study participants who had acute at median 235 days (120; 323) ago...
To investigate whether specific immune response plasma proteins can predict an elevated risk of developing Long COVID symptoms or fatigue severity after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Background Information on the clinical characteristics and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying post-COVID-19 fatigue are scarce. The main objective of this study was to evaluate sex-specific humoral T-cell responses associated with in a sample individuals treated as outpatients. Methods At median time 279 (179;325) days after acute infection, total 281 (45.9% men) aged 18-87 years old were included analysis. participants examined at University Hospital Augsburg, Southern Germany....
Memory T-cell responses following infection with coronaviruses are reportedly long-lived and provide long-term protection against severe disease. Whether vaccination induces similar is not yet clear since, to date, there limited data comparing memory CD4+ induced after SARS-CoV-2 versus BioNTech/Pfizer BNT162b2. We compared immune over time or using ELISpot, three months infection/vaccination activation-induced marker flow cytometric assays. Levels of cytokine-producing T-cells were...
Intraoperative injury to the popliteal artery is a rare complication of orthopedic surgery, however, it can have serious consequences, including major amputation. Recommendations for standard approach are lacking. The aim this study was develop an interdisciplinary therapeutic algorithm assist in management.From 01/11 12/20, 16 arterial injuries after knee surgery were analyzed retrospective single-center study. Four cases involved recurrent surgery. Procedures performed included eleven...

(1) Background: After an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, patients are at risk of developing Long COVID, with fatigue as a frequent and serious health problem. Objectives: To identify symptom clusters in infections investigate their associations the development COVID fatigue, to examine sex-specific differences. (2) Methods: The analysis included total 450 COVID-19 outpatients, whom 54.4% were female. median ages men women 51 years (IQR 36.0; 60.0) 48 33.0; 57.0), respectively. Data collection...

Objectives An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is one of the most common anatomic variants aortic arch. The combination an ARSA and a transection naturally rare. Methods This case report describes treatment in presence follow-up two years. Results We successfully treated contained rupture with stentgraft. Both arteries had to be covered emergency setting. At two-year follow-up, patient did not suffer from any neurological impairment. Conclusions In settings, primary cover both...
