This editorial of the Special Issue "Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic on Global Diseases and Human Well-Being" aims to portray the repercussions of the novel COVID-19 emergency on a wide range of health issues [...].This editorial of the Special Issue "Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic on Global Diseases and Human Well-Being" aims to portray the repercussions of the novel COVID-19 emergency on a wide range of health issues [...].
According to this study and considering the extremely small number of subjects involved in these rare adverse effects (3 to 10 cases per million), it is possible that the thrombotic thrombocytopenia caused by the COVID-19 vaccine may be multifactorial or deeply influenced by genotype; otherwise, several hypotheses exist: it may be caused by the possible cross reactivity of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with PF4, interactions between spike protein and platelets, the platelet expression of adenoviral proteins and the resulting immune response [5,6]. When dealing with the high spread of the novel acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus-19, the most vulnerable patients were considered the most important. [...]most patients suffering from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and hypercholesterolemia were classified into the high-risk category. [...]a higher risk of mortality for elder patients has been registered too [9]. Since the previously mentioned higher risk of mortality and adverse outcomes in patients with chronic diseases is a pressing issue, it is fundamental to assess patients’ increased risk when attending hemodialysis treatments, peritoneal dialysis follow-up or after-transplant visits. [...]caregivers’ burden was mainly related to their patients’ physical difficulties (assessed by Caregiver Burden Inventory—Physical Burden) and perception of losing time (assessed by Caregiver Burden Inventory—Time-dependence Burden). [...]caregivers perceived their quality of life as very low (assessed by Short Form-12 Health Survey Physical and Short Form-12 Health Survey Mental Health).
