These results suggest a possible link between long COVID and chronic epipharyngitis and emphasize the therapeutic potential of EAT in treating the symptoms of long COVID.

A case series of 30 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsing glomerular diseases (immunoglobulin A nephropathy as the most common) after COVID vaccination
The most common glomerular disease after COVID-19 vaccination was immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). The absolute risk of glomerular diseases increased after the second or third COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.
Sex-specific differences in gene transcriptomics in peripheral blood cells of vaccinated patients with post-COVID syndrome
Sex-specific differences in the transcriptome of peripheral blood cells in vaccinated patients with PACS indicate possible sex-specific differences in the pathophysiology of PACS.
Higher serum ferritin levels distinguish long COVID patients who subsequently developed a clinical diagnosis of ME/CFS from those who did not meet the ME/CFS criteria
This study revealed that patients with long COVID who developed ME/CFS based on all of the three internationally standardized criteria had increased serum ferritin levels, identifyng serum ferritin as a possible biomarkers for detecting the transition to an ME/CFS condition, especially in female patients.
De novo onset or exacerbation of psoriasis following the SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID vaccination
This study described a case series of 28 patients who experienced de novo onset or flares of psoriasis following infection with the SARS-CoV-2 or vaccination. All of these patients were successfully managed with anti-IL-17 or anti-IL-23 medications.
The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine alters the activity of human ovarian granulosa cells, which support the oocytes during folliculogenesis (possible link with menstrual disorders)
The BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine directly affects the activity of ovarian granulosa cells, which is a unique, independent mechanism for vaccine-related menstrual abnormalities.
The receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit binds to kidney injury molecule-1, which is highly expressed upon kidney injury
The receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 binds to kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM1), which is highly expresed only upon kidney injury.
Various time modes of proteomic recovery within two years after acute COVID-19Â
The results showed that different biological processes recovered in different time modes within two years after COVID-19, providing insights into the biological processes of the different long COVID syndrome phenotypes.
Leprosy following COVID-19 vaccination
This study investigated leprosy or immune-mediated complications known as leprosy reactions diagnosed in the Leprosy Clinic at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, London, within 12 weeks following COVID-19 vaccination.
A case series of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination
The largest case series of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination.
129Xe MRI red blood cells-to-alveolar tissue barrier ratio shows abnormal gas exchange in long COVID patients
A lower 129Xe MRI RBC-to-barrier ratio in long COVID patients suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection may have caused some microstructural abnormality to one or two volumes, such as pulmonary embolism, pulmonary blood flow alterations, or alveolar membrane thickening, which leads to decreased blood volume.
