CONCLUSION: Ortho-k was less affected by the COVID-19 home confinement, which is potentially a better therapy for children in this high-risk environment. Further investigations are warranted to validate this issue.
Disease surveillance systems provide early warnings of disease outbreaks before they become public health emergencies. However, pandemics containment would be challenging due to the complex immunity landscape created by multiple variants. Genomic
This study aimed examin the factors associated with the uptake and non-acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine booster doses among healthcare workers (HCWs) in South Africa. We used a mixed-methods design with data from a web-based self-administered survey
CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decrease in both facilities serving meals and patients' food consumption during hemodialysis. To prevent the loss of meal opportunities, establishing safe methods for food intake and alternatives in
Background: The unrelenting turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard on those in the healthcare field. This chronic stress has resulted in depleted compassion towards those we serve and with whom we work. Researchers have suggested
The initial interaction between COVID-19 and the human body involves the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the viral spike protein with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Likewise, the spike protein can engage with immune-related
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed model can be a voice biomarker for an alternative and cost-effective method of monitoring the progress of COVID-19 patients in care.
A key facet to typical undergraduate or graduate global public health programs is an applied practice experience (a practicum) that culminates in shared results and public presentations (e.g., research posters, conference and working papers, needs
We report the development of a new class of protease activity sensors called DNA-barcoded plasmonic nanostructures. These probes are comprised of gold nanoparticles functionalized with peptide-DNA conjugates (GPDs), where the peptide is a substrate
