research Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
The document concludes that rapid identification, isolation, and strict infection control are crucial to manage SARS outbreaks.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Immunoreactivity of the SARS-CoV-2 Entry Proteins ACE-2 and TMPRSS-2 in Murine Models of Hormonal Manipulation, Aging, and Cardiac Injury
Age affects how certain proteins involved in COVID-19 infection are expressed in mice, but sex hormones and heart injury do not.
research Basic Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Implications for Endocrine Systems
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research Insights Into the Scenario of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Male Reproductive Toxicity
COVID-19 may harm male reproductive health and lower testosterone levels, potentially affecting fertility and causing erectile dysfunction. More research is needed.
research Sex Hormones in SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility: Key Players or Confounders?
Sex hormones' effects on COVID-19 are unclear and more research is needed to understand their potential as treatment.
research Repurposing Existing Drugs for COVID-19: An Endocrinology Perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Sex Differences in COVID-19: The Role of Androgens in Disease Severity and Progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research Host Genetic Susceptibility and Impacts of Dietary Factors on COVID-19
Certain genes and nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and omega fatty acids affect COVID-19 severity and infection risk.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research From Bedside to Bench: Regulation of Host Factors in SARS-CoV-2 Infection
The conclusion is that certain genetic factors and blood types may affect COVID-19 severity, but changes in ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes are not clearly linked to it.
research COVID-19: Understanding Inter-Individual Variability and Implications for Precision Medicine
The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.
research COVID-19 and Sex Differences: Mechanisms and Biomarkers
Men are more likely to have severe COVID-19 cases and fatalities than women due to factors like lifestyle, aging, and biological differences.
research Immunological Aspects and Gender Bias During Respiratory Viral Infections Including Novel Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19): A Scoping Review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Roles of Steroid Receptors in the Lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
research Repurposing of H1-Receptor Antagonists Cetirizine, Loratadine, and Fexofenadine for Systematic Analysis of ClinicalTrials.gov Trials Using Semi-Automated Processes
Custom software found that common allergy drugs might have new uses for various conditions and could improve survival in some cancers.
research Post COVID-19 Sequelae in Adults: A Review
Post-COVID syndrome is a multisystem disorder affecting individuals after recovering from acute COVID-19, with symptoms lasting over three months. This review analyzed 14 studies and found that common symptoms include fatigue (71.4%), shortness of breath (64.1%), anxiety/depression (35.7%), and cognitive deficits (21.4%). Hair loss affected 14.2% of individuals. The review highlights the significant impact on various organs and the increased risks of cardiovascular issues, chronic pulmonary disease, and acute kidney injury. It emphasizes the need for further research to understand the pathogenesis and develop management strategies for these long-term effects.
research Association of Androgenetic Alopecia with a More Severe Form of COVID-19 Infection
Men with androgenetic alopecia and hypertension may experience more severe COVID-19.
research Therapeutics for COVID-19 and Post COVID-19 Complications: An Update
New treatments for COVID-19 show promise, but more effective antiviral drugs are needed.
research COVID-19 Pandemic: What About the Gonads?
