The present study aimed to investigate the importance and prognostic value of tumour budding (TB) in Gastric Carcinoma (GC). ⋯ In the present study, Bd was statistically significantly related to characteristics such as pathologic stage, lymph node involvement, and grade. The data obtained here suggest that Bd can be applied to GC and it might contribute to the standardisation of diagnosis and prognostic factors.

Clinical Characteristics and In-Hospital Mortality of Patients with COVID-19 in Chile: A Prospective Cohort Study.
To describe the Latin American population affected by COVID-19, and to determine relevant risk factors for in-hospital mortality. ⋯ The relationship between multiple prognostic factors has been scarcely reported in Latin American patients with COVID-19. By combining different clinically relevant risk factors, we can identify COVID-19 patients with high-, medium- and low-risk of in-hospital mortality.

Long COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A survey of elderly female survivors in Egypt.
This study aimed to investigate post-COVID-19 symptoms amongst elderly females and whether they could be a risk factor for developing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) later on. ⋯ From our findings, the presence of fatigue, cognitive impairment, stress, sadness, sleep disturbances and recurrent falls in the post-recovery period were all significantly associated with CFS-like symptoms. To conclude it would be reasonable to screen for long COVID and consider the potential for developing CFS later on. Whether it can be a risk factor for developing CFS-like other viral infections will need more larger scale studies to confirm this.
