ASSOCIATIONS OF PRE-EXISTING CARDIOVASCULAR MORBIDITY WITH SEVERITY AND THE FATALITY RATE IN COVID-19 PATIENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of pre-existing cardiovascular comorbidities, including hypertension and coronary heart disease, with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity and mortality.Methods PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus were searched between January 1, 2020, and July 18, 2020, to identify eligible stu

Atoh1 (Math1) was the first gene discovered in ear development that showed no hair cell (HC) differentiation when absent and could induce HC differentiation when misexpressed.These data implied that Atoh1 was both necessary and sufficient for hair cell development.However, other gene mutations also result in loss of initially forming HCs, notably n

Petal growth is central to floral morphogenesis, but the underlying genetic basis of petal growth regulation is yet to be elucidated.In this study, we found that the basal region of the ray floret petals of Gerbera hybrida was the most sensitive to treatment with the phytohormones gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA), which regulate cell expans

Phonocardiography (PCG) signals that can be recorded using the electronic stethoscopes play an essential role in detecting the heart valve abnormalities and assisting in the diagnosis Snap Plug of heart disease.However, it consumes more bandwidth when transmitting these PCG signals to remote sites for telecare applications.This paper presents a dee

Abstract Background Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) is widely used in the diagnosis and management of nonobstructive azoospermia.However, its ability for predicting microdissection testicular sperm extraction in nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients with AZFc deletion remains uncertain.To investigate whether TESA affected Snap Plug the sperm
