Long COVID is a SARS-CoV-2 infection-associated chronic condition with great potential to impact health and socioeconomic outcomes. The research efforts face the challenges related long have resulted in substantial amount of publications, which warrants need for bibliometric profiling. This large-scale PubMed-based analysis more than 390,000 COVID-19 publications. overall aim was update profile publications comparison rest scientific literature through December 2024. estimated proportion relatively low (2.3% all publications), although cumulative frequency (n = 8928) continues pose challenge proper information management. Currently, “treatment” “mechanism” appear be most predominant topics literature. Interestingly, this evaluation revealed distinctive literature, clear preponderance “case report” when compared other also identified ranked prolific journals production COVID-related study may improve visibility contribute management growing knowledge on COVID.

Epipharyngeal Abrasive Therapy (EAT) Has Potential as a Novel Method for Long COVID Treatment

Viruses, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(5), С. 907 - 907

Опубликована: Апрель 27, 2022

COVID-19 often causes sequelae after initial recovery, referred to collectively as long COVID. Long COVID is considered be caused by the persistence of chronic inflammation acute infection. We found that all patients had residual in epipharynx, an important site coronavirus replication, and some symptoms are similar those associated with epipharyngitis. Epipharyngeal abrasive therapy (EAT) a treatment for epipharyngitis Japan involves applying zinc chloride anti-inflammatory agent epipharyngeal mucosa. In this study, we evaluated efficacy EAT The subjects study were 58 who treated outpatient department once week one month (mean age = 38.4 ± 12.9 years). intensities fatigue, headache, attention disorder, which reported frequent COVID, assessed before using visual analog scale (VAS). reduced epipharynx significantly improved intensity may related myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). These results suggest has potential novel method treatment.

Background Robust data comparing long COVID in hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients middle-income countries are limited. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted Brazil, including patients. Long diagnosed at 90-day follow-up using WHO criteria. Demographic clinical information, the depression screening scale (PHQ-2) day 30, compared between groups. If PHQ-2 score is 3 or greater, major depressive disorder likely. Logistic regression analysis identified predictors protective factors for COVID. Results total of 291 1,118 with COVID-19 were included. The prevalence 47.1% 49.5%, respectively. Multivariable logistic showed female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 4.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.51–8.37), hypertension (OR 2.90, CI 1.52–5.69), > 6.50, 1.68–33.4) corticosteroid use during hospital stay 2.43, 1.20–5.04) as patients, while 2.52, 1.95–3.27) 3.88, 2.52–6.16) Conclusion prevalent both Positive 30 post-infection can predict Early helps health staff to identify a higher risk COVID, allowing an early diagnosis condition.

Visual analysis of hotspots and trends in long COVID research based on bibliometric

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(2), С. e24053 - e24053

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

After severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, a series of symptoms may persist for long time, which is now called COVID. It was found that COVID can affect all patients with COVID-19. Therefore, has become hot topic. In this study, we used the WOS database as sample data source to conduct bibliometric and visual analysis 1765 articles over past three years through VOSviewer R package. The results show countries/authors in Europe United States America contribute most articles, their cooperation also active. Keyword co-occurrence identified four clusters, important topics including mechanism, clinical symptoms, epidemiological characteristics, management/treatment Themes such "cognitive impairment", "endothelial dysfunction", "diagnosis", "biomarkers" are likely be focus new attention coming period. addition, put forward possible research opportunities on researchers practitioners facilitate future research.

Опубликована: Окт. 29, 2022

A good amount of research has evolved just in three years COVID-19 transmission, mortality, vaccination, and some socioeconomic studies. few bibliometric reviews have already been performed the literature, especially on broad theme COVID-19, without any particular area such as or vaccination. This paper fills this gap by conducting a review transmission first its kind. The main aim study is to conduct literature dynamics. We conducted analysis using descriptive network methods RStudio, Openrefine, VOSviewer, Tableau. reviewed 1103 articles published 2020-2022. result identified top authors, disciplines, patterns, hotspots gave us clear directions for classifying topics area. New areas are rapidly emerging area, which needs constant observation researchers combat global epidemic.

Waste Management & Research The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 42(3), С. 244 - 259

Опубликована: Июнь 18, 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented amount of medical waste, presenting significant challenges for the safe disposal hazardous waste. A systematic review existing research on and waste can help address these by providing insights recommendations effective management massive generated during pandemic. This study utilized bibliometric text mining methods to survey scientific outcomes related drawing data from Scopus database. results show that spatial distribution is unbalanced. Surprisingly, developing countries rather than developed lead this area. Especially, China, a major contributor field, highest number publications citations, also centre international cooperation. main authors institutions are mainly China. And multidisciplinary field. Text analysis shows organized around four themes: (i) personal protective equipment; (ii) Wuhan, China; (iii) threats environment (iv) would serve better understand current state provide some implications future research.
