Neurological manifestations were more frequent in patients with diabetes (p b 0.05), in whom persistent hyperglycemia and thrombocytopenia were observed.
ConclusionsIn patients with late hospitalization due to COVID-19, neurological manifestations may be more frequent in those with diabetes and might be related to a negative outcome.
Literary portraits of the beautiful woman in medieval Iberia tend to emphasize several physical features, such as long, blond hair, or light-colored and hairless skin. This study examines the specific features of the beautiful woman in several major works and genres from medieval Iberia. It also traces the rhetorical sources of these portraits to the Classical and medieval Latin traditions, whose influence is evident in other early vernacular literatures of Europe. It then analyzes several medieval cosmetic treatises in Latin and in vernacular languages that attest to medieval women's beautifying practices, such as the use of hair-dyes, depilatories, and skin-whitening creams. The comparison of the literary and cosmetic evidence shows a canonical view of feminine beauty that encompasses different cultural areas in medieval Iberia. This view is also consistent with ancient as well as with twenty-first century conceptions of beauty. The findings suggest that the ideal of feminine beauty in medieval Iberia is not unique, but rather a manifestation of near-universal male preferences shaped by sexual selection in the course of human evolution.
increased exacerbated by exertion, along with cold allodynia and tinnitus. Physical examination showed hypertension, anomic aphasia, cold allodynia with left hemitremor; dysesthesias, pain and weakness in left upper limb; lower limbs hyperreflexia; and bilateral Hoffman and Marinescu. Bloodwork showed elevated ESR and CRP. SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG were positive. MRI showed Chiari Malformation and syringomyelia/syringobulbia.
ResultsThe patient received COVID-19 treatment improving all features. Anecdotally when corticosteroids were weaned off pain returned; imposing a new corticosteroid regimen after which pain subsided returning to her daily living activities.
ConclusionsThis is the first case report of an exacerbation of syringomyelia/ syringobulbia symptoms after COVID-19. We propose substance P as a key mediator for this kind of features.
ConclusionsCOVID-19-related GBS had a better clinical outcome than non-COVID-19-GBS. However, epidemiological considerations cannot be deemed due to the small sample. More follow-up studies are warranted for the functional recovery evaluation of these patients.
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.
