Full textAbstract:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious viral disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is known that infection with SARS-CoV-2 can lead to various autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases. There are few reports in the literature on the association between SARS-CoV-2 and autoimmune diseases, and the number of reports has been increasing since 2020. Autoimmune diseases and SARS-CoV-2 infections are intertwined in several ways. Both conditions lead to immune-mediated tissue damage, the immune response is accompanied by the increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines and both conditions can be treated using immunomodulatory drugs. Patients with certain autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, cardiac sarcoidosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, autoimmune hepatitis, multiple sclerosis and others, are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection, either because of the active autoimmune disease or because of the medications used to treat it. Conversely, SARS-CoV-2 infection can also cause certain autoimmune diseases. In this paper, we describe the development of autoimmune diseases after COVID-19 and the recovery from COVID-19 in people with autoimmune diseases.

Full textAbstract:
The close contact between humans and domestic cats raises concerns about the potential risks of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Thus, this study aims to investigate anti-SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in client-owned cats from Portugal and evaluate the infection risk of cats that maintain contact with human COVID-19 cases. A total of 176 cats, belonging to 94 households, were sampled. Cat owners answered an online questionnaire, and cats were screened for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 using a commercial ELISA. Twenty (21.3%) households reported at least one confirmed human COVID-19 case. Forty cats (22.7%) belonged to a COVID-19-positive and 136 (77.3%) to a COVID-19-negative household. The seroprevalences of cats from COVID-19-positive and -negative households were 5.0% (2/40) and 0.7% (1/136). The two SARS-CoV-2-seropositive cats from COVID-19-positive households had an indoor lifestyle, and their owners stated that they maintained a close and frequent contact with them, even after being diagnosed with COVID-19, pointing towards human-to-cat transmission. The SARS-CoV-2-seropositive cat from the COVID-19-negative household had a mixed indoor/outdoor lifestyle and chronic diseases. Owners of the three SARS-CoV-2-seropositive cats did not notice clinical signs or behavior changes. This study highlights the low risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from COVID-19-positive human household members to domestic cats, even in a context of close and frequent human–animal contact.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Recent clinical reports indicate a correlation between gross hematuria after the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in patients with glomerulonephritis, especially immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). Furthermore, healthcare workers in Japan were initially vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine from February 17, 2021, and some of them experienced gross hematuria after receiving the vaccination. Methods We conducted a web-based survey of the councilor members of the Japanese Society of Nephrology (581 members, 382 facilities) to elucidate the relationship between gross hematuria and COVID-19 vaccination. Results In the first survey, 27 cases (female: 22, 81.5%) of gross hematuria were reported after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. Of them, 19 (70.4%) patients were already diagnosed with IgAN at the occurrence of gross hematuria. Proteinuria appeared in eight of the 14 (57.1%) cases with no proteinuria before vaccination and hematuria in five of the seven (71.4%) cases with no hematuria before vaccination. The second survey revealed that a renal biopsy was performed after vaccination in four cases, all of whom were diagnosed with IgAN. Only one case showed a slightly increased serum creatinine level, and no patients progressed to severe renal dysfunction. Conclusion This study clarified the clinical features of gross hematuria after a COVID-19 vaccination. Because there was no obvious progression to severe renal dysfunction, safety of the COVID-19 vaccination is warranted at least in the protocol of inoculation twice.

Full textAbstract:
Evidence about the effectiveness of school closures as a measure to control the spread of COVID-19 is controversial. We posit that schools are not an important source of transmission; thus, we analyzed two surveillance methods: a web-based questionnaire and a telephone survey that monitored the impact of the pandemic due to COVID-19 cases in Bogotá, Colombia. We estimated the cumulative incidences for Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) and COVID-19 for each population group. Then, we assessed the differences using the cumulative incidence ratio (CIR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI95%). The ARI incidence among students was 20.1 times higher when estimated from the telephone survey than from the online questionnaire (CIR: 20.1; CI95% 17.11–23.53). Likewise, the ARI incidence among schoolteachers was 10 times higher in the telephone survey (CIR: 9.8; CI95% 8.3–11.5). the incidence of COVID-19 among schoolteachers was 4.3 times higher than among students in the online questionnarie (CIR: 4.3, CI95%: 3.8–5.0) and 2.1 times higher in the telephone survey (CIR = 2.1, CI95%: 1.8–2.6), and this behavior was also observed in the general population data. Both methods showed a capacity to detect COVID-19 transmission among students and schoolteachers, but the telephone survey estimates were probably closer to the real incidence rate.

Objective To assess the incidence of COVID-19 infection in the absence of a confirmatory test in persons suspecting they contracted COVID-19 and elucidate reasons for their belief. Methods We recruited persons with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis and persons who believed they may have contracted COVID-19 between December, 2019 and April, 2021 into a study of immunity against SARS-CoV-2. An intake questionnaire captured their perceived risk factors for exposure and symptoms experienced, including symptom duration and severity. ELISA testing against multiple SARS-CoV-2 antigens was done to detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. No participant had received COVID-19 vaccination prior to the time of testing. Results The vast majority of study subjects without Public Health confirmation of infection had no detectable antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Suspected infection with SARS-CoV-2 generally involved experiencing symptoms common to many other respiratory infections. Unusually severe or persistent symptoms often supported suspicion of infection with SARS-CoV-2 as did travel or contact with travelers from outside Newfoundland and Labrador. Rare cases in which antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were detected despite negative results of Public Health testing for SARS-CoV-2 RNA involved persons in close contact with confirmed cases. Conclusions Broad public awareness and declaration of pandemic status in March, 2020 contributed to the perceived risk of contracting COVID-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador from late 2019 to April 2021 and raised expectation of its severity. Serological testing is useful to diagnose past infection with SARS-CoV-2 to accurately estimate population exposure rates.

Objective: Official data on Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) show a low prevalence. This study assessed the seroprevalence of antibodies against the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the two main markets of Goma city, in the eastern DRC.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in 454 sellers in Kituku and Virunga markets between September 1st and November 08th, 2021. Participants were asked to answer a questionnaire survey on COVID-19 symptoms and their attitudes against COVID-19, including whether they had been vaccinated against COVID-19. Presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 in blood samples was investigated using QuickZen®.
Results: The median (minimum-maximum) age of participants was 27.4 years (13.4-88.3). Participants aged 15 to 40 years old made up 80.6 % of the participants enrolled in the study (n=454), with women accounting for 65.1 % of all participants. No participant in the study had been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.
The overall crude and adjusted seroprevalence rates of antibodies anti-SARS-CoV-2 were 73.8 % (95 % CI 69.7-77.9) and 82.7 % (95 % CI 79.2 % -86.2 %), respectively. COVID-19 symptoms were absent for 43,1% (n = 332) of the participants with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. During the same period, none of the participants with anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies required hospitalization.
Conclusion: We discovered a high seroprevalence of anti-SARS-Cov-2 antibodies in the sellers at the two main Goma markets without any record of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. No severe COVID-19 symptoms were reported among participants.

To assess the prevalence of COVID-19 in people living with HIV (PLWHIV), we performed an epidemiological survey from 1 April through 1 August 2020 in an HIV reference center in Northern France. PLWHIV completed a questionnaire about risk exposures and symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and performed a SARS-CoV-2 serology. Among the 600 PLWHIV included, 16 have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. Symptoms consistent with COVID-19 were frequent both in SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative patients (67% vs. 32%, p = 0.02). Among SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, one (6%) has been hospitalized and five (31%) have been asymptomatic. Close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case was the only factor associated with COVID-19 acquisition (40% vs. 13%, p = 0.01). The prevalence of COVID-19 in PLWHIV was 2.5%, half of the overall population estimate after the first wave of the pandemic in France. In conclusion, proportion of asymptomatic COVID-19 was high in PLWHIV. The prevalence of COVID-19 in PLWHIV was two times lower than in the general population.

Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) is defined as a neurological syndrome, which ranks second in terms of morbidity and mortality in the world. With the appearance of SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus, some scientific works present questions related to neurological complications. The present study aimed to verify the relationship between people diagnosed with COVID-19 and the appearance of a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), during the period of hospitalization in two medium-sized hospitals in the city of Vitória da Conquista - BA, at the beginning of December. January 2020 to February 2022. A quantitative and exploratory study was carried out, with a descriptive approach, based on the analysis of 100 medical records of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. For data collection, two instruments were developed, a sociodemographic questionnaire and a structured form to collect the data generated by SARS-CoV-2 and AVE. During the defined period, 12 medical records were analyzed. The results showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause neurological sequelae, such as stroke.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination began for healthcare workers in South Korea at the end of February 2021. This study investigated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody responses after various COVID-19 vaccinations in healthcare workers. Blood specimens of 497 vaccinated healthcare workers were collected. Inoculated vaccines were ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca/Oxford), BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech), JNJ-78436735 (Janssen), and mRNA-1273 (Moderna). Each specimen was tested for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 using Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S assay (Roche Diagnostics), SARS-CoV-2 IgG II Quant assay (Abbott), and R-FIND SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody kit (SG medical Inc.). A questionnaire was used to investigate adverse events related to vaccination. We found that 99.5% of the subjects showed a 96–100% positive rate in all three antibody assays, regardless of the vaccine type. The antibody-positive rate of completed vaccination groups reached 96–100%, and antibody quantities significantly increased 2 weeks after vaccination. The antibody values measured approximately 3 months after BNT162b2 inoculation significantly correlated with adverse events.

Background Monitoring of symptoms and behavior may enable prediction of emerging COVID-19 hotspots. The COVID Radar smartphone app, active in the Netherlands, allows users to self-report symptoms, social distancing behaviors, and COVID-19 status daily. The objective of this study is to describe the validation of the COVID Radar. Methods COVID Radar users are asked to complete a daily questionnaire consisting of 20 questions assessing their symptoms, social distancing behavior, and COVID-19 status. We describe the internal and external validation of symptoms, behavior, and both user-reported COVID-19 status and state-reported COVID-19 case numbers. Results Since April 2nd, 2020, over 6 million observations from over 250,000 users have been collected using the COVID Radar app. Almost 2,000 users reported having tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Amongst users testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the proportion of observations reporting symptoms was higher than that of the cohort as a whole in the week prior to a positive SARS-CoV-2 test. Likewise, users who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 showed above average risk social-distancing behavior. Per-capita user-reported SARS-CoV-2 positive tests closely matched government-reported per-capita case counts in provinces with high user engagement. Discussion The COVID Radar app allows voluntarily self-reporting of COVID-19 related symptoms and social distancing behaviors. Symptoms and risk behavior increase prior to a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, and user-reported case counts match closely with nationally-reported case counts in regions with high user engagement. These results suggest the COVID Radar may be a valid instrument for future surveillance and potential predictive analytics to identify emerging hotspots.

Introduction: At the beginning of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, there was
concern that infected sarcoidosis patients, likewise other patients with chronic lung disease, could be
at higher risk of a poor outcome and death. Moreover it was supposed that Sarcoidosis infected
patients could be at higher risk of poor outcome ùs as a consequence of comorbidities secondary to
chronic glucocorticoid treatment.
Methods:In order to determine whether sarcoidosis patients really showed high risk of poor outcome
and death during COVID-19 pandemic, an electronic survey of the impact of COVID-19 on
sarcoidosis patients was proposed together with the University of Cincinnati to the Italian Sarcoidosis
association Amici contro la Sarcoidosi (ACSI).
Results: The clinical features of 1542 sarcoidosis patients, were anonymously collected by telephone
survey and online questionnaire from April to June 2020). In this group,32 patients (2.1%) declared
that they had contracted SARS-CoV-19 infection. 6 patients of them (19%) were hospitalized (among
these, 2 patients were admitted to intensive care unit).
4 out of 32 patients (12%) were health care workers, while 15 (47%) reported having comorbidities
and 14 out of 32 (44%) have a form of pulmonary sarcoidosis only, 12 (37%) have both pulmonary
and extrathoracic involvement.
Contrary to initial concerns about prognosis, our results suggest that patients with sarcoidosis did not
have an increased risk of adverse outcome or death from COVID-19 infection compared to the general
population. Almost half of our patients with sarcoidosis and SARS-CoV-2 had at least one of the
following diseases: hypertension, asthma, COPD, diabetes and obesity. The subgroup of sarcoidosis
patients developing COVID infection in our sarcoidosis cohort was characterized by lung
involvement, high prevalence of comorbidities and treatment suggesting that these clinical parameters
may be potential risk factors of developing COVID-19.

Nowadays, the issue of health safety is gaining importance, and the last months of the pandemic confirm the legitimacy of the interest in this topic. In order to effectively minimize health risks, especially those related to neglect in the area of public health, decisive educational activities should be undertaken, prior to the diagnosis of the level of knowledge and beliefs in this area. The effectiveness of these activities will largely depend on the ability to properly identify educational needs, but also to know the barriers that may hinder this process. The aim of this study is to present the methodology of researching students’ opinions on health safety, with particular emphasis on the structure and principles of using the proprietary questionnaire. The designed research tool – a questionnaire for researching students ‘opinions on health safety in a pandemic state (BOS-Bezp’21) – is designed to identify students’ opinions on selected aspects of institutional activities as well as personal beliefs and activities undertaken in the context of the prevailing virus pandemic Sars-Cov-2. The conducted statistical analyzes allow for the recognition of BOS-Bezp’21 as a reliable diagnostic tool.

Full textAbstract:
The training and activities of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, although stimulating, motivating, and satisfactory, are not exempt from technical and psychological challenges. Residency training programs aim to develop the necessary skills of resistance and rational decision-making under pressure in clinical, outpatient, and complex hospital interventions. Furthermore, these programs also require the fulfillment of activities outside the operating room, such as issuing diagnoses and planning high-complexity procedures with a high risk of complications. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of burnout in attending surgeons and residents from oral and maxillofacial surgery residency programs located in the State of Ceará, Brazil, during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease pandemic. This observational, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was conducted on attending surgeons and residents registered at the Regional Council of Dentistry – Ceará Section. Data were obtained through an online questionnaire with three sets of questions: 1) professional factors; 2) the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory instrument; and 3) sociodemographic aspects. Quantitative data were analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Science software. Nonparametric statistical analysis (Fisher and Kruskal-Wallis Exact tests) was used, in addition to the Chi-square test, adopting a significance level of 5%. A sample of 78 participants was obtained, in which most attendings (58.7%) and residents (40%) demonstrated moderate levels of burnout. We can conclude that the levels of burnout in oral and maxillofacial attending surgeons and residents from the State of Ceará during the COVID-19 pandemic were moderate, not resulting in high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.

Background & Objective: The SARS-COV-2 virus has mutated frequently, giving rise to multiple variants with more threatening characteristics. Our study aims to assess knowledge and attitude among university students regarding the emergent variants. Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was utilized in this study where knowledge, attitude, and worry towards the emergent variants were tested using an online self-administered questionnaire distributed among 417 Jordanian public university students on an interactive social media platform. Results: 60% of participants believed that new COVID-19 strains can be potentially dangerous and should be dealt with, while 16% of participants believed that they weren’t an important threat. Knowledge scores among participants were low as the mean score out of 18 was x̄ = 9.14/18 (SD = ± 5.22). Worry scores among participants were moderate, as the mean score out of 35 was x̄ = 22.6 (SD = ± 5,53). Finally, we found a significant and positive correlation between knowledge and worry. (r = 0.218, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The relatively low knowledge and moderately worry scores found among a Jordanian public university students regarding COVID-19 variants shows the urgency of implementing educational programs aimed at enriching awareness in this regard.

The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has been causing a great impact on the world economy since 2020. This study analyses the impact of the pandemic on innovative agri-food companies from different branches of agro-industrial activity located in Extremadura (Spain) to determine which activities have been most affected and whether there are differences between the actions and changes carried out depending on the nature of the product, process or services. The information was obtained using an online questionnaire in which the research questions were proposed (what consequences, actions or changes has the pandemic had on the development of your activities?). Data were analysed descriptively, studying statistically the existence of independence or not between the effects and the actions carried out depending on agri-food industry branches of activity. The main results have shown that in general, all the agro-industrial branches have incorporated changes in their products and services, mainly by providing new and better customer benefits and improving product formats and forms of payment to suppliers

The global changes caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid 19), have drastically brought about changes in people's daily lives, especially in countries where the virus has spread in large numbers among the population. Since our country also found itself in a difficult situation, a large number of professions focused their daily activities on working from home, ie working at a distance, including education. In this article, we will examine the attitudes of primary school students about attending private lessons during online classes. We will examine the attitudes of students about the way the subject teachers from the school work and their up-to-dateness during online classes. We will try to find out if, and in what number, students sought help through private lessons. We will examine which students (which grade) attended the most private lessons and from which subjects. Accordingly, we will try to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between students regarding the attendance of private lessons, taking into account the school class and the subject from which they attended private lessons. We will apply the descriptive-analytical method, the survey technique, and as an instrument we will use a questionnaire construct for the needs of research. Our intention is for the students of the fifth to the eighth gradefrom the Pomoravlje district to participate in the research, ie students from primary schools from the territory of the city of Jagodina and the municipality of Svilajnac. The research will be conducted in May 2021 by filling out an online questionnaire.

Introdução: A Covid-19 causada pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2) teve início na China em dezembro de 2019. Diante do alto índice de propagação do vírus, a Organização Mundial da Saúde declarou pandemia. Em vista disso, foram adotadas diversas medidas a fim de mitigar a disseminação do vírus, entre elas o distanciamento social. No entanto, a adesão ao distanciamento social tem propiciado o surgimento sintomas de depressão e ansiedade, tornando mais propenso o desenvolvimento de transtornos mentais comuns, principalmente em pessoas diabéticas, as quais são grupo de risco. Objetivo: Verificar a prevalência de transtorno mental comum em pessoas com diabetes mellitus durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Material e métodos: Estudo transversal, de caráter exploratório, com amostra de 111 pessoas. Desenvolvido em duas Comunidades Virtuais (CV) do Facebook® voltadas ao diabetes mellitus. Os participantes foram recrutados por meio de mensagens públicas postadas nos fóruns das CV escolhidas e caso aceitassem participar do estudo teriam que declarar seu consentimento na participação por meio de um formulário eletrônico no Google Forms. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário de sintomas denominado Self Report Questionnaire-20 (SRQ-20). Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva por meio do software IBM SPSS, versão 26. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Piauí. Resultados: A prevalência de transtorno mental comum entre as pessoas diabéticas foi de 37,8%. No grupo de humor depressivo-ansioso, os sintomas mais prevalentes demonstraram que 64% das pessoas com diabetes se sentiram nervosas, tensas ou preocupadas. Quanto ao decréscimo de energia vital, 51,4% dos diabéticos relataram que se cansaram com facilidade. Para os sintomas somáticos, identificou-se que 30,6% apresentaram sensações desagradáveis no estômago. Quanto aos pensamentos depressivos, verificou-se que 31,5% tiveram dificuldade para tomar decisões. Conclusão: A saúde mental das pessoas com diabetes mellitus, por meio da análise do estudo, tem se mostrado frágil durante o distanciamento social, pois a presença de sintomas ansiosos e depressivos foram prevalentes na amostra. Por isso, torna-se relevante desenvolver estratégias e intervenções que minimizem os impactos causados neste segmento populacional e que proporcionem a melhoria da qualidade de vida.

Full textAbstract:
The world`s health crisis was started and the area of higher education was significantly challenged by the spread of the virus SARS-CoV-2. The academic community was forced to rethink its ways of learning and teaching dynamically. It transformed the understanding of the faculty competence as an essential component of the continuity of qualitative education, which emphasizes the need to increase the competence to work in a technology-enhanced study environment and to support students in achieving learning outcomes remotely. The aim of the article is to explain the pedagogical digital competence of faculty, which reflects one of the research aspects covered in the State Research Programme (SRP) dedicated to mitigating the consequences of COVID-19. The research methodology consists of a set of quantitative data, which was obtained by surveying 349 faculty from 33 higher education institutions of Latvia. In turn, a questionnaire was developed based on the obtained conclusions, performing an analysis of literature and educational guidelines. Patterns of the use of educational technologies of faculty were analyzed and described in the framework of the research. The wide analysis performed during the research can be summarized in several conclusions. (1) Skills that faculty have self-assessed as the highest primarily characterize the use of technologies and technological solutions (TTS – analogous to hardware and software) to meet students basic learning needs. In turn, skills in the use of TTS, which would help students to develop digital competence and achieve study results in line with labor market trends, are assessed lower. (2) Faculty consider themselves to be more proficient in using TTS to promote students’ cognitive skills than in acquiring practical skills. (3) Faculty feel more proficient in providing feedback to students, rather than collecting it from them and performing summative rather than formative assessment. (4) The improvement of pedagogical digital competence (PDC) of faculty is driven more by cooperation with students than by administrative pressure.
