Impact of COVID-19 in patients with concurrent co-infections: A systematic review and meta-analyses

Soumya Sarkar et al.

Summary: Co-infections in COVID-19 patients increase the risk of mortality, with tuberculosis and influenza patients at higher risk, while the impact of HIV and chronic hepatitis on COVID-19 is relatively minor. Some countries are facing a dual epidemic of COVID-19 and dengue fever.

Stress Related Disorders and the Risk of Kidney Disease

Guobin Su et al.

Summary: Patients with stress related disorders (SRDs) are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to those without SRDs. The elevated risk of CKD progression remains consistent throughout the follow-up period, while the association with AKI is only observed in the first year after SRDs diagnosis. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms.

How did Sweden Fail the Pandemic?

Finn Diderichsen

Summary: Sweden has had a higher COVID-19 mortality rate compared to other Nordic countries, primarily among the elderly population. The country also exhibits significant socioeconomic and ethnic disparities in mortality. Differences in exposure to the virus and survival rates contribute to these disparities. The government's response to the pandemic, particularly in protecting the elderly in nursing homes, was inadequate.

Coronavirus Activates an Altruistic Stem Cell-Mediated Defense Mechanism that Reactivates Dormant Tuberculosis Implications in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic

Lekhika Pathak et al.

Summary: Adult stem cells may exhibit an altruistic defense mechanism to protect their niche, similar to bacteria, and demonstrate altruistic behavior against coronavirus infection in vivo. Reprogrammed stem cells in a mouse model showed direct antiviral activity, reducing viral load and promoting survival/proliferation of alveolar epithelial cells. In a Mycobacterium tuberculosis dormancy model, increased altruistic stem cells led to lower viral loads and potential reactivation of tuberculosis.

Unequal impact of the COVID-19 crisis on minority ethnic groups: a framework for understanding and addressing inequalities

Srinivasa Vittal Katikireddi et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected minority ethnic groups, with inequalities arising through six pathways: differential exposure to the virus, vulnerability to infection/disease, health consequences, social consequences, effectiveness of control measures, and adverse consequences of control measures. Current research only partially understands these pathways, highlighting the need for further investigation into the complex interplay of social and biological factors in ethnic inequalities.

Association of Vitamin D Levels, Race/Ethnicity, and Clinical Characteristics With COVID-19 Test Results

David O. Meltzer et al.

Summary: This study found that in Black individuals, the risk of COVID-19 positive results was 2.64 times higher with vitamin D levels of 30 to 39.9 ng/mL compared to levels of 40 ng/mL or higher, and decreased by 5% per 1-ng/mL increase in levels above 30 ng/mL. There were no significant associations of vitamin D levels with COVID-19 positivity rates in White individuals.

Drinking cultures and socioeconomic risk factors for alcohol and drug use disorders among first- and second-generation immigrants: A longitudinal analysis of Swedish population data

Won Kim Cook et al.

Summary: The study found that immigrants and second-generation immigrants from countries with high levels of alcohol consumption were at higher risks for alcohol and drug use disorders in Sweden. Immigrants with high SES had lower risks for alcohol and drug use disorders. Second-generation immigrants were at increased risk of developing alcohol and drug use disorders, particularly if they have lower SES.

Intermarriage and COVID-19 mortality among immigrants. A population-based cohort study from Sweden

Siddartha Aradhya et al.

Summary: The study suggests that language proficiency and institutional awareness do not significantly contribute to the excess mortality of immigrants from COVID-19. Instead, the findings indicate that differential exposure to the virus may play a larger role in explaining the increased mortality rates among immigrants.
