Researchers collaborate on a 15-month case study to analyze patient’s recovery from impaired adrenocorticotropic hormone

Recently, 'Long COVID' is becoming a significant issue worldwide. It refers to a variety of symptoms that persist over an extended period after the patient has recovered from a novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). In many cases, it is unclear what causes Long COVID symptoms, and there is insufficient information regarding recovery time.

Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with high blood viscosity have greater risk of death

Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 with high estimated blood viscosity are at higher risk of death from complications. High blood viscosity impairs flow to small vessels and increases the risk of blood clots. This measure of blood thickness can be used as a predictor of mortality.
