We assessed the impact of national and regional lockdowns considering the French first epidemic wave of COVID-19 as a case study. In a regional lockdown scenario aimed at preventing intensive care units ...

PCSK9 might affect central nervous system development, neuronal apoptosis, and differentiation. We investigate the neurocognitive adverse events associated with the use of PCSK9 inhibitors (alirocumab and evolocumab) using pharmacovigilance reports. We used the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database (VigiBase) to perform a disproporti...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard in the etiological assessment of a persistent olfactory dysfunction (OD). While the utility of imaging in COVID-19-related OD has yet to be established, MRI is recommended in all patients with persistent OD. The high prevalence of the latter after SARS-CoV-2 infection means evaluating this strat...
