Physical, cognitive, and mental health impacts of COVID-19 after hospitalisation (PHOSP-COVID): a UK multicentre, prospective cohort study.

Rachael A. Evans, +780 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of COVID-19-related hospitalisation on health and employment, to identify factors associated with recovery, and to describe recovery phenotypes were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early Predictors of CPAP Use for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

TL;DR: There was no association between baseline anxiety and depression scores, as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and subsequent machine use, and 'initial problems' (reported at autotitration), 'recent life-events' and 'living alone' were associated with lower machine use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pro-inflammatory effects of e-cigarette vapour condensate on human alveolar macrophages.

TL;DR: ECVC is significantly more toxic to AMs than non-vaped ECL and inhibition of phagocytosis suggests users may suffer from impaired bacterial clearance, and is cautioned against the widely held opinion that e-cigarettes are safe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity, metabolic syndrome and sleep apnoea: all pro-inflammatory states.

TL;DR: It is proposed that activation of nuclear factor kappa B by stress hypoxia and/or by increased adipokines and free fatty acids released by excess adipose tissue is the final common inflammatory pathway linking obesity, OSAS and the metabolic syndrome both individually and, in many cases, synergistically.
