FRIDAY, Sept. 4, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Placing a hospitalized COVID-19 patient in a face down position to ease breathing -- or "proning" -- has steadily gained traction as a pandemic lifesaver. But a small new study warns that it may lead to permanent nerve damage.
COVID-19 ist eine Erkrankung, die primär die Lunge betrifft. Diese Infektion befällt die Bronchien und die Lunge, führt dadurch zu einer Lungenentzündung und kann in weiterer Folge auch andere Organe angreifen. Eine Studie an der Klinik Innsbruck zeigt erste Ergebnisse rund um Langzeitfolgen des Coronavirus.
Tirol ist ein Hotspot der Verbreitung des Coronavirus in Europa gewesen. Ärztinnen und Ärzte haben nun Langzeitfolgen in der Region untersucht. Ihr Fazit ist gemischt: Lunge und Herz können lange geschädigt bleiben, bei vielen Patienten bessern sich aber die Symptome.

This book offers readers critical insights into a region in crisis and explores different facets of the crisis from governance to gender to the politics of identity, the challenge of the environment and the enduring impact of demographic variables and technological change. Whilst exploring the nature of the crises, the book also explores how policy-makers have responded to these and what other alternatives there are in overcoming challenges posed. Whilst the focus is on the Middle East North Africa region as a whole, the authors are well aware of the unique characteristics of individual countries. Hence the book examines regional trends whilst also being conscious of the national specificities of each country. In combining the general with the particular, the book approaches its subject matter from both a quantitative and a qualitative perspective allowing one to understand regional trends and country specific peculiarities.
