Difference in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Parameters After SARS-CoV-2 Infection During the Alpha and Delta Variant Dominance Periods by Magdalena Kal, Michał Brzdęk, Izabella Karska-Basta, Piotr Rzymski, Antonio Pinna, Jerzy Mackiewicz, Dominik Odrobina, Dorota Zarębska-Michaluk, Robert Flisiak

“…In conclusion, ocular microcirculatory changes differed between the two variants, with Alpha associated with foveal choroidal VD reduction and larger FAZs and Delta linked to lower SCP and DCP VD across multiple regions. These findings highlight the potential for SARS-CoV-2 variants to differentially impact ocular vasculature, underscoring the need for variant-specific follow-up in COVID-19 patients.…”

“…Abstract Female obesity is a worldwide health issue linked to chronic metabolic low-grade inflammation (metaflammation) causing multiple obesity-related co-morbid conditions. We aimed to assess the serum levels of wingless integration site family member 5 A (Wnt5a), leptin, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) as markers of obesity-associated metaflammation and investigate the association with toll-like receptors2 (TLR2) gene (Arg753Gln) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) among Egyptian females. …”
