Tuberculosis (TB) remains a worldwide problem. Intestinal TB (ITB) is a serious public health problem in developing countries and has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality. TB is challenging due to the lack of specific clinical and laboratory features. At present, a combination of clinical, endoscopic, radiological, and pathological features continues to be the key to diagnosing ITB.

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a high incidence of thromboembolic events. Patients with severe form have a higher risk as well as those with embolic factors (high age, obesity, diabetes, etc.). Acute mesenteric thrombosis is among the complications to be feared during this pandemic even in patients who do not have embologenic factors. The objective of this study is to discuss and understand the mechanism of occurrence of acute mesenteric thrombosis during COVID-19 infection. The ...

In order to infect the target host cell, a virus like severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), whose lytic/virulent lifestyle involves the infection, replication and lysis of the host cell, must be able to penetrate its membrane for the release of viral progeny. For this purpose, its action takes place both on a biophysical and biochemical level. Viral action begins with the alteration of physiological interactions held by the target cell with extracellular aqueous electroly...

Pregnant women experience physiological changes such as pulmonary adaptation due to an elevated diaphragm and altered cell immunity. These factors can predispose pregnant women to enhanced susceptibility to severe viral pneumonia infection, leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with increased mortality and morbidity in neonates. Currently, the COVID-19 pandemic has reported over 230 million cases reported globally and generated evidence on raising concerns about maternal infection on ...
