Post-COVID-19 complications, such as acute kidney injury, arrhythmia, and stroke, pose significant challenges to public health. Despite extensive research on COVID-19 complications, a comprehensive understanding of the risk factors remains elusive due to the potential confounding variables present in the data. Traditional statistical models, while insightful, may not fully capture the causal relationships between these risk factors and post-COVID-19 complications. Motivated by this gap in the literature, we propose a novel approach using causal inference models to predict the likelihood of post-COVID-19 complications based on patient demographics and pre-existing conditions. Our model, trained on a dataset of COVID-19 inpatients in Wuhan Province, China, estimates the causal effect of these factors on the likelihood of patients experiencing post-COVID-19 complications. This approach allows us to isolate the causal impact of each factor while accounting for potential confounders, providing a more accurate understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving these relationships. Unlike traditional models that predict the probability of certain outcomes, our model provides insights into the causal relationships between risk factors and complications, offering a more reliable and comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This approach can help identify at-risk patients, inform targeted interventions, and contribute to the development of effective prevention and treatment strategies. Our work aims to contribute to the current understanding of the virus and inform public health policies and interventions.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"81 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139629504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to genetic mutations leading to structural abnormalities in hemoglobin and morphological changes in red blood cells, red blood cells lose their deformability in hypoxic environments, leading to vascular blockage, causing severe pain and partial tissue ischemia in patients. Oxygen needs to be transported to various parts of the body through red blood cells, thereby affecting the transportation of oxygen in the body. In general, red blood cells are circular and elastic, making them easy to move in blood vessels. However, in sickle cells, these red blood cells are compressed and deformed, causing the transportation of oxygen in the blood to become stiff and viscous, potentially slowing or blocking blood flow. The most common complication of SCA is blockage of blood vessels, which leads to pain. Although this is a complex phenomenon, HbS aggregation is a fundamental pathological physiological phenomenon in SCA. HbS aggregation can lead to malignant changes in the shape and physical properties of red blood cells, leading to hemolytic anemia and preventing blood flow, especially in small blood vessels, which may damage some organs. Clinical manifestations include anemia, immunodeficiency, multiple organ damage, severe acute and chronic pain, and premature death. The quality of life of the patients was seriously affected.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"68 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139535621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neurotransmitters play an essential role in operating our bodys crucial functions, such as emotional regulation and sleep, so much neuroimaging evidence suggests they are critical to forming anxiety and insomnia. Previous longitudinal studies suggest that insomnia is a significant index and predictor of mental health and, therefore, can also be generated from mental disorders due to their comorbidity. This short review will posit the formation of insomnia caused by the presence of anxiety disorders in patients with both insomnia and anxiety symptoms. This review further discusses some therapies that enhance and improve sleep quality among insomnia problems. It mostly debates the thesis that anxiety is the driving factor and precedes insomnia and its related neuropathological developments that can be highlighted from neurotransmitter systems and sleeping models such as the hyperarousal model. Overall, it is significant that individuals with anxiety-related disorders have lower sleeping qualities that cause functional impairment and lower subjective living qualities.","PeriodicalId":489336,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical and Natural Science","volume":"215 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139628686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
