BACKGROUND: The safety of transfusion of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in high plasma volume blood components to recipients without COVID-19 is not established. We assessed whether transfusion of plasma or platelet products during periods of increasing

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This randomized clinical trial found that a single HCW-collected throat specimen had higher sensitivity for rapid antigen testing for SARS-CoV-2 than a nasal specimen. In contrast, the self-collected nasal specimens had

The onset of the COVID-19 outbreak led to widespread adoption of mobility intervention policies, which were widely regarded as effective measures to control the spread of the virus. The initial pandemic wave, accompanied by the enforcement of

COVID-19 identification is routinely performed on fresh samples, such as nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, even if, the detection of the virus in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) autopsy tissues could help to underlie mechanisms of the

Outbreaks of COVID-19 in crowded work locations led to mass infection events during the pandemic that stressed health capacity in rural communities. This led to disparate responses - either isolating and restricting workers to facilities and

Background Published data on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are scarce and inconclusive, leading to an unmet need for further studies. Methods A retrospective, multicentered study of adult

Recent advances have demonstrated the significant potential and advantages to repurpose existing point-of-care reactions/devices to realize portable detection of nonoriginal targets, e.g., pathogen genes. However, pursuing this aim usually requires

Current clinical guidelines support the concomitant administration of seasonal influenza vaccines and COVID-19 mRNA vaccine boosters. Whether dual vaccination may impact vaccine immunogenicity due to an interference between influenza or SARS-CoV-2

COVID-19 pandemic had affected health services around the world, also reducing the diagnosis of lung cancer. On the other hand, examination of surgical specimens in patients with lung cancer and SARS-CoV-2 gave the opportunity to evidence early

CONCLUSION: A two-months intermission of performing elective cataract surgery does not cause an increase in complications. In contrast, we observe a reduction of postoperative complications. This implicates that refraining from cataract surgery for
