Опубликована: Июль 5, 2024

This study investigates the effects of home-based Kakao health care breathing exercises and stretching on respiratory function fatigue in COVID-19 cured patients. A total 35 participants performed four movements exercise five muscle times a week for weeks. Respiratory was measured using FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF. Fatigue assessed Severity Scale (FSS). Data analysis Independent Samples Paired T-tests SPSS 24, with significance level set at p < 0.05. After weeks Home based Breathing Exercise, there were significant increases PEF values observed training group (T.G.) after intervention (p 0.05). Such an increase when comparing these pre-exercise measurements. In contrast, no statistically difference outcomes before control (C.G.) > The FSS scores within (T.G.). >0.05). 4-week Exercise found to be capable improving some functions COVID-19-recovered patients, but it showed improvement levels.

Background: The long-term effect of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is not fully known. Severe cases COVID-19 have resulted in disability that can be assessed a biopsychosocial manner with International Classification Functioning, Disability and Health World Organization Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) questionnaire. This study aimed to evaluate effects on three years after post-acute rehabilitation using WHODAS 2.0. Methods: single-center cohort included patients severe who underwent immediate post-discharge intervention. Three later, were via telephone Results: Of 69 identified hospital database, 27 responded. A total 16 refused respond due emotional distress. mean age was 63.4 ± 8.6 years, 81.5% independent community, 55.3% had been previously admitted ICU, median hospitalization duration 18 (11.5,24) days. Comorbidities type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (55.5%), grade high blood pressure (62.9%), ulcers (37%), peripheral neurologic deficits central neurological (14.8%). ICU admission significantly correlated advanced needs (measured by level (p < 0.01) longer hospitalizations days 0.001). overall score 35.09%, influenced DM deficits. Conclusions: Central are associated higher scores. Tailored programs, ongoing medical assessment, integrated care models, patient education essential for improving outcomes disease.

Objective: To evaluate and characterize the cognitive changes in COVID-19 participants at 6-month follow-up, to explore a possible association with clinical symptoms, emotional disturbance disease severity. Methods: This single-center longitudinal cohort study included aged 20 60 years old exclude impairment age-associated confirmed infection. The initial evaluation occurred 10 30 days after hospital or ambulatory discharge, subsequent follow-up 6 months. Patients who had history of impairment, neurological conditions, serious psychiatric disorders were not included. Information on demographics laboratory results was gathered from medical records. Cognitive outcomes assessed neuropsychological battery including attention, verbal visual memory, language executive function tests. Results: A total 200 study, 108 completed visit.

From February 2022 to April 2023, people without who were treated for coronavirus infection was conducted Kazakhstan.Methods: Participants invited via social media voluntarily participate study. A total 417 surveys included study, comprising 212 205 diabetes. We compared persistent complaints after recovery (DM), as well status.Results: The study self-reported symptoms prolonged COVID show that more than half those infected severe acute respiratory (SARS-CoV-2) Kazakhstan have at least one symptom recovery. Based list COVID-19 reported by DM (T2DM), exertional dyspnoea, fatigue, discomfort, headaches, sleep disturbances are among most common ongoing conditions, many cases last 3 months COVID-19.Conclusion: Patients T2DM experience Additionally, lowers hospitalization risk decreases need adjusting hypoglycemic therapy, such insulin treatment, recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Background In this study, we aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) six months after their hospitalization and compare it that non-hospitalized mild COVID-19 healthy controls. Methodology Participants were enrolled between September 2021 April 2022 included hospitalized at General Hospital Athens "Hippocration" who had been discharged least prior enrollment, COVID-19, Collected data demographics, severity, medication history, comorbidities. completed a EuroQol 5 Dimensions 5Levels (EQ5D5L), Short Form 36 version 2 (SF36v2), Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F), Post-COVID-19 Status Scale (PCFSS) regarding HRQL before infection acute respiratory syndrome 2. case controls, two sets questionnaires apart. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25 software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results A total 151 participants enrolled. Hospitalized demonstrated statistically significant deterioration most parameters SF36v2 as well both EQ5D5L FACIT-F questionnaires. exhibited worse results when compared controls those (p < 0.05). women, particular, shown fare than other women associated mental/psychological physical health 41 60 years old drop scores all three main previous status 61 80 similar trend, but statistical significance achieved fewer parameters. decline greater age groups milder counterparts.

The stress translated into lasting deterioration, especially for aged 41-60 old. use questionnaires, such implemented might help early detection could benefit rehabilitation programs. Psychological, social, support is crucial alleviate burden post-COVID-19 symptomatology expedite recovery group patients.
