Theatre ventilation
We present an overview of operating theatre ventilation systems and the respective evidence with relation to surgical site infection (SSI) and airborne pathogen transmission in light of COVID-19.METHODS: A literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Cochrane Library and MEDLINE databases. Search terms included "COVID-19", "theatre ventilation", "laminar", "turbulent" and "negative pressure".FINDINGS: Evidence for laminar flow ventilation in reducing the rate of SSI in orthopaedic surgery is widely documented. There is little evidence to support its use in general surgery. Following previous viral outbreaks, some cent...

Quarantine alone or in combination with other public health measures to control COVID-19: a rapid review
CONCLUSIONS: The current evidence is limited because most studies on COVID-19 are mathematical modelling studies that make different assumptions on important model parameters. Findings consistently indicate that quarantine is important in reducing incidence and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic, although there is uncertainty over the magnitude of the effect. Early implementation of quarantine and combining quarantine with other public health measures is important to ensure effectiveness. In order to maintain the best possible balance of measures, decision makers must constantly monitor the outbreak and the impact of t...

Association between serum amyloid A levels and predicting disase severity in COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: High circulating SAA levels were markedly associated with COVID-19 severity, especially for subjects aged less than 50 years, compared with patients with mild COVID-19. SAA concentrations were also significantly higher in patients with critical COVID-19 compared with those with severe COVID-19. Further studies in large cohorts are needed to confirm whether the SAA is a useful tool in discriminating among patients with stable COVID-19, those with acute exacerbations, and subjects without disease.PMID:34286504 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202107_26255

The vital role of physiotherapy during COVID-19: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: The current study findings support that physiotherapy interventions facilitate recovery in COVID-19 patients and act as a protective barrier. Further results include a reduced length of stay in intensive care and reduced treatment cost since this outbreak has brought a significant economic burden to many countries.PMID:34719461 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-210450

Smell and taste dysfunction during the COVID-19 pandemic: an infodemiological analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show the level of the general population's interest for early symptoms, suggesting that their interest in SARS-CoV-2 infection symptoms, such as SD and TD, was scarce but peaked during the pandemic outbreak.PMID:34730225 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202110_27017

Cytokines in COVID-19 Patients with Diabetes: Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: The pathophysiological mechanisms linked to cytokine storms in diabetic patients may lead to design the treatment strategies in the future to improve early diagnosis or therapeutic strategies and mitigate cytokine storm-associated morbidity and mortality.PMID:35040414 | DOI:10.2174/1573399818666220118100743
