The present study revealed that low FFMI and handgrip strength were closely related to disease severity.Background Higher mortality due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is reported among some immunocompromised patients; however, the relation between immunosuppression due to HIV infection and severity of COVID-19 infection remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the severity and mortality of COVID-19 infection in HIV-infected patients. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study on all COVID-19 suspected and confirmed cases hospitlized in Iran between Febuary 19 (epidemic onset date) and April 8, 2020, whose data were recorded in the national database for Medical Care Monitoring Center. Hospitalized patients were followed from admittion to death/discharge. Patients' HIV status was recorded based on their self report. Logistic and Cox regression models were used to evaluate the association between HIV infection and the severity (according to the Glascow-Coma Scale situation, need for intubation and hypoxemia) and mortality of COVID-19 infection, respectively. Analyses were performed separately for COVID-n was not a risk factor to increase the severity and risk of death among COVID-19 infected patients.Background Undoubtedly, economic and social value added depends on the functions of universities. Moving toward third-generation universities (3rd GU) is an inevitable process. These universities need different functions than traditional ones; therefore, identifying and determining their functions is essential. The purpose of this study is to collect, match and explore the functions of universities in the transition to 3rd GU and ultimately offer a functional model of the 3rd GU for the use of professors, academics and policymakers in order to evaluate and promote universities. Methods A critical review method was adapted. Literature was included based on their relevant empirica
