“…Obesity and respiratory diseases were the most common, while high cholesterol, rheumatic diseases, diseases affecting the circulatory system, and hypertension were the least common (see Figure 7 and Figure 8 ). Results are consistent with other studies that mention the population increase in these diseases since the appearance of the pandemic [ 71 , 72 , 73 ]. Even combinations of these diseases were accentuated, such as in overweight patients with rheumatism [ 74 ], arterial diseases with vascular pathologies [ 75 ], or the loss of physical and psychological adaptations of athletes due to lack of training caused by confinement [ 76 ].…”

Confinement as a result of COVID-19 had a strong impact around the world and restricted mobility. The university community started to take routine classes in a virtual and sedentary way, causing negative effects on their health and habits. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of confinement through surveys of students and interviews with university professors, in order to study the effects of confinement on physical activity, emotional state, and health. The methodology was as follows: (i) preliminary data; (ii) survey development, interviews, and information collection; (iii) data processing and multivariate presentation of the results, using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and multiple factor analysis (MFA). The results of 375 respondents show that there is a low level of physical activity (<300 METs, 49.6%), where women register sedentary behavior (73%). Emotionally, most of them show feeling bored. Some express anxiety, depression, discomfort, and frustration. In terms of health, there are rheumatic, circulatory, respiratory, and other diseases related to obesity. It is essential to create programs that promote physical exercise to reduce the consequences of sedentary lifestyles on the physical, social, and mental health of university students, especially engineering students, who experienced greater effects of confinement than those studying nutrition and social sciences.

“…Furthermore, a long-term history of diabetes and hypertension damages blood vessel structure and increases the risk of critical illness (Petrie et al, 2018). Patients with chronic heart illness are more likely to become infected due to weakened heart function and inadequate immunity, putting them at risk of developing acute cardiovascular events and severe disease if infected with COVID-19 (Alqahtani et al, 2022). Patients with a history of respiratory disease, such as COPD, have lower viral resistance and are more likely to develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (Saguil et al, 2020).…”

Background: There is currently no viable pharmaceutical therapy for COVID-19 illness that has been validated. The use of remdesivir is one of the medications for which there is no consistent evidence of a significant therapeutic benefit or a meaningful effect on survival. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was used in this study. The subjects in this study were confirmed clinically critical COVID-19 patients who were treated at Dr. M Djamil Hospital Padang, one of Indonesia's national referral hospitals, from January to June 31, 2021. The number of samples in this study was 90 patients. The Chi-square test was performed in bivariate analysis, and the odds ratio was calculated. SPSS version 17.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: The results of this study found that there was an association between ages 50-59 years (OR = 10.23, 95% CI 1.89-55.53), 60-69 years (OR = 4.58, 95% CI 1.25-16.76), and > 70 years (OR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.38 -9.59), comorbid diabetes mellitus (OR = 9.78, 95% CI 1.23-77.66), the number of comorbid > 1 (OR = 10.97, 95% CI 2.19-54.96, and the number of comorbid 1 (OR = 5.69, 95% CI 1.59- 20.41) with the outcome of confirmed clinically critical COVID-19 patients treated with remdesivir. Conclusion: The significance of age and comorbidities on the outcome of COVID-19 patients treated with remdesivir at Indonesia's national referral hospital was confirmed in this study. This study could assist in the management of patient therapy, potentially decreasing morbidity and even patient mortality.

“…Já a patogênese do desenvolvimento das arritmias está relacionada com a remodelação eletrofisiológica e estrutural ou disfunção dos canais iônicos, como também pode ocorrer distúrbios hidroeletrolíticos, como a hipocalemia, devido à relação do Sistema Renina-Angiotensina-Aldosterona com a COVID-19, favorecendo o aparecimento de alterações de condução elétrica do miocárdio (VARNEY et al, 2021;ALQAHTANI et al, 2022). Ademais, evidências demonstraram que a farmacoterapia utilizada para tratamento da infecção, como corticosteroides, antivirais, dentre outros levam a efeitos adversos no sistema cardiovascular (BANSAL, 2020).…”

Pesquisas relataram aumento da gravidade da doença causada por um novo coronavírus (COVID-19) denominado coronavírus da síndrome respiratória aguda grave 2 (SARS-CoV-2), em pacientes com diabetes mellitus. Tendo em vista a interação com outros fatores de risco, a hiperglicemia pode modular respostas imunes e inflamatórias, predispondo os pacientes a desenvolver COVID-19 grave e possíveis desfechos letais. O objetivo do estudo foi por meio de uma revisão sistemática, identificar e sumarizar as evidências disponíveis sobre a relação, as complicações e os prognósticos em pacientes diabéticos que foram infectados com COVID-19. A revisão sistemática seguiu as recomendações do PRISMA. Para o levantamento dos estudos, foram utilizadas as bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS, LitCovid e Google Scholar. A busca bibliográfica entre janeiro de 2020 e abril de 2022, em inglês, português e espanhol. Foram identificados 435 artigos, dos quais 311 foram excluídos por não se relacionarem com o tema, 28 por serem duplicados, seis não estarem dentro dos idiomas definidos dos critérios de inclusão, quatro por não ter associação positiva e 40 por não serem artigos originais. Vinte e seis estudos preencheram os critérios de elegibilidade e foram incluídos na análise qualitativa. Os achados demonstraram que o diabetes está associado ao aumento das chances de hospitalizações, desenvolver formas mais graves de COVID-19, evoluir para necessidade de ventilação mecânica e em alguns casos pode levar o paciente a óbito. Hipertensão arterial, doenças cardiovasculares e obesidade combinada de diabetes podem gerar mais risco de sintomas graves e óbito, principalmente em homens idosos.
