Several diagnostic measures have been employed to precisely detect the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection using viral antigens, nucleic acids, and other serological approaches. The sensitivity and specificity of the serological tests remain a challenging

We describe the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Calgary. IPD declined significantly worldwide during 2020 and 2021. This may be due to the reduced transmission

The main protease (M^(pro)) of SARS-CoV-2 is essential for viral replication, which suggests that the M^(pro) is a critical target in the development of small molecules to treat COVID-19. This study used an in-silico prediction approach to

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, novel vaccines have successfully reduced severe disease and death. Despite eliciting lower antibody responses, adenoviral vector vaccines are nearly as effective as mRNA vaccines. Therefore, protection against severe

Concerns about potential increases in suicidal behavior during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic arose in response to reported widespread mental health deterioration. Although early data did not corroborate such concerns, suicide

COVID-19 highlighted inequitable vaccine distribution and the urgent need for vaccine manufacturing capacity on the African continent. This resulted in a burst of scientific engagement and international funding to augment capacity on the continent

Commercial polyurethane (PU) coating formulations have been modified with 1-(hydroxymethyl)-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (HMD) both in bulk (0.5 and 1% w/w) and onto the coatings surface as an N-halamine precursor, to obtain clear coatings with high

INTRODUCTION: Alcohol consumption is a leading cause of mortality, morbidity and adverse social sequelae in Sri Lanka. Effective community-based, culturally adapted or context-specific interventions are required to minimise these harms. We designed a
