Feasibility of the 30 s Sit-to-Stand Test in the Telehealth Setting and Its Relationship to Persistent Symptoms in Non-Hospitalized Patients with Long COVID

Rodrigo Nunez-Cortes et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the feasibility of the 30s-STS test in the telehealth setting and its relationship to persistent symptoms in non-hospitalized patients with long COVID. The test was found to be feasible and related to fatigue, dyspnea, quality of life, and pain.

Assessment of respiratory function and exercise tolerance at 4-6 months after COVID-19 infection in patients with pneumonia of different severity

Laura Pini et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess respiratory function in patients who recovered from COVID-19 pneumonia after hospital discharge. The study found that patients hospitalized in the ICU had a higher prevalence of respiratory function abnormalities, and the types of abnormalities were more complex. Lung function tests and the six-minute walking test are important tools for monitoring the consequences of COVID-19 pneumonia.

Assessment of Exercise Capacity in Post-COVID-19 Patients: How Is the Appropriate Test Chosen?

Rodrigo Torres-Castro et al.

Summary: COVID-19 survivors often experience various sequelae, including physical impairment, which can impact their quality of life and ability to return to work. Assessing physical capacity through field or laboratory tests has proven useful for evaluating post-COVID-19 patients and those with other chronic respiratory, metabolic, cardiac, or neurological diseases. When traditional tests are not feasible, assessing physical function can serve as a good alternative, particularly for evaluating intervention effects. Choosing the appropriate test should be based on the individual characteristics of each subject.

Comparison of 2 Weekly Frequencies of Resistance Training on Muscular Strength, Body Composition, and Metabolic Biomarkers in Resistance-Trained Older Women: Effects of Detraining and Retraining

Matheus Amarante do Nascimento et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of resistance training on muscular strength, body composition, and metabolic biomarkers in older women. The results showed that older women can regain previous resistance training benefits following detraining, regardless of the weekly training frequency. However, some fitness components may take longer to reestablish than the initial training level.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, noninvasive respiratory support, particularly high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) treatment, has been commonly used for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Despite its reported benefits, concerns about the risk of infection transmission to healthcare workers have led to controversial recommendations from different scientific societies.

Pathomechanisms Underlying Hypoxemia in Two COVID-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Phenotypes: Insights From Thrombosis and Hemostasis

Satoshi Gando et al.

Summary: This article discusses the pathomechanisms and treatment strategies for hypoxemia in ARDS induced by COVID-19. The study found that COVID-19-associated ARDS is more vascular centric and different types of ARDS have different mechanisms of hypoxemia. The main reasons for hypoxemia in type H and L ARDS are right-to-left shunts and high VA/Q ratios, respectively. Early anticoagulation therapy may improve the prognosis of COVID-19 patients.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the association between Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score after discharge and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) results 1 year after discharge in COVID-19 survivors. The results showed a significant association between higher CCI score and poorer performance in the 6MWT.

Summary: This study provides evidence of the correlation between the severity of COVID-19 infection and preexisting medical conditions with functional decline after the infection. It suggests that healthcare practitioners should establish personalized care plans based on multidimensional geriatric assessment and evaluation of clinical severity.

The Effects of COVID-19 on Skeletal Muscles, Muscle Fatigue and Rehabilitation Programs Outcomes

Camelia Corina Pescaru et al.

Summary: Infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus can directly impact skeletal muscle, leading to musculoskeletal damage through inflammatory effects, cytokine storm, and muscle catabolism. Other factors such as myopathy, polyneuropathy, and corticosteroid therapy can also contribute to muscle fatigue and functional incapacity. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs and early mobilization play a crucial role in reducing dyspnea, increasing physical capacity, overcoming psychological disorders, and improving the quality of life in patients.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate chest CT imaging features, clinical characteristics, and laboratory values of COVID-19 patients who underwent CTA for suspected PE, revealing a high incidence of PE in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. PE was predominantly found in lung parenchyma affected by COVID-19 pneumonia with worse CT severity score and more lung lobar involvement. CT severity, lower saturation level, and elevated D-dimer levels could be indications for performing CTPA.

Long Covid-19: Proposed Primary Care Clinical Guidelines for Diagnosis and Disease Management

Antoni Siso-Almirall et al.

Summary: Long COVID-19 refers to patients who continue to have signs and symptoms four weeks after the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with an estimated frequency of around 10%. The long-term manifestations are similar to other coronaviruses like SARS and MERS, mainly affecting the respiratory, musculoskeletal, and neuropsychiatric systems. Managing long COVID-19 requires a structured primary care approach, multidisciplinary rehabilitation services, and empowerment of affected patient groups based on limited evidence.
