SARS-CoV-2 virus can not only damage the respiratory system but may also pose a threat to other organs, such as the heart or vessels. This review focuses on cardiovascular complications of COVID-19, including acute cardiac injury, arrhythmias, biomarkers, accompanying comorbidities and outcomes in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The research was conducted on the databases: PubMed, Springer, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, Oxford Academic, Wiley Online Library, ClinicalKey. Fifty-six publications from 1 November 2020 till 15 August 2021 were included in this study. The results show that cardiac injury is present in about 1 in 4 patients with COVID-19 disease, and it is an independent risk factor, which multiplies the death rate several times in comparison to infected patients without myocardial injury. New-onset cardiac injury occurs in nearly every 10th patient of the COVID-19-suffering population. Comorbidities (such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes) severely deteriorate the outcome. Therefore, patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection should be carefully assessed in terms of cardiac medical history and possible cardiological complications.
Aim: The aetiology of micturition disorders in children is multifactorial and still unclear. The perinatal factors may play a role in the development of children's urinary incontinence. We compared each type of micturition disorders in terms of length of gestation, birthweight, family history of bedwetting and delivery type.Methods: Data were from 488 patients of the Department of Pediatrics and Nephrology,Children's Clinical Hospital of the Medical University of Bialystok, and included: age, sex, clinical diagnosis, perinatal history, constipation, history of vesicoureteral reflux, family history of nocturnal enuresis, urodynamic diagnosis, bladder capacity. We performed statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney and Spearman tests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
