COVID‐19 comorbidities, associated procoagulant extracellular vesicles and venous thromboembolisms: a possible link with ethnicity? by Inal, Jameel

“…In a meta-analysis of seven studies (1,576 infected patients) the co-morbidities included hypertension (21.1%), diabetes (9.7%), cardiovascular disease (CVD), (8.4%) and respiratory system disease (1.5%). Of the critically ill COVID-19 patients with these co-morbidities and an associated hyperinflammatory state admitted to intensive care units (ICUs), up to 31% suffered thrombotic episodes (even with thromboprophylaxis), in particular, venous thromboembolisms (VTE), one of the important sequelae of COVID-19.…”

Wide stopband planar Microwave bandpass filter design by Riaz, Muhammad, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…Simulation results reveal that the proposed design enables the upper and lower transmission zeros to be adjustable independently by (±16.5%) prior to fabrication. Moreover, the coupling scheme employed allows the filter’s centre frequency to be adjusted by 8.69% and 3dB fractional bandwidth by 7.1% with insignificant effect on the stopband characteristics. …”

A systematic review examining alcohol dependence and sexual dysfunction across genders by Banbury, Samantha, Nercessian, Tiga-Rose, Chandler, Chris, Lusher, Joanne

“…Research looking at alcohol dependence and sexual dysfunction in cisgender women, and even more so intersex, transgender and gender non-conforming people has received comparatively less attention than for cisgender men, with a 1:5 ratio. Consensus of the included literature indicated that alcohol dependence does impact sexual functioning, which includes erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation for cisgender men and sexual desire and orgasmic difficulties for cisgender women. …”
