TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature on long COVID-19 syndrome is presented, which is driven by long-term tissue damage (e.g. lung, brain, and heart) and pathological inflammation (i.e. from viral persistence, immune dysregulation, and autoimmunity).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that persistent brainstem dysfunction may also be involved in long-term tissue damage, viral persistence, and chronic inflammation, and suggested that the brainstem contains numerous distinct nuclei and subparts that regulate the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and neurological processes.

TL;DR: The understanding of mechanisms does not yet complete the endeavor in applying probiotics to treat MDD, but probiotics offer some advantages over standard pharmaceutical antidepressants in terms of residual symptoms, side effects and stigma involved.

TL;DR: The reported evidence of solid organ rejections post-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination or COIVD-19 infection should not discourage vaccination against this worldwide pandemic, and the protective benefits offered by SARS- CoV- 2 vaccination far outweigh the risks.

TL;DR: This review has concisely summarized the current rare adverse events related and unrelated to BNT162b2, arguably for the first time in sufficient depth, to better communicate vaccine safety to the public.
