Pundits have speculated that the spread of conspiracies and misinformation (termed "misbeliefs") is leading to a resurgence of right-wing, reactionary movements. However, the current empirical picture regarding the relationship between misbeliefs and
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest a need to balance between the benefits conferred by public health restrictions versus the mental health burden that may result among certain groups, including ICs, who experience higher negative mental health
CONCLUSIONS: Depression, anxiety, and suicidality among mental health professionals were highly prevalent after China's Dynamic Zero-COVID Policy ended. Effective measures should target central and bridge symptoms identified in this network model to
The binding of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the host cell receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the first step in human viral infection. Therefore, understanding the mechanism of interaction
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), an avian coronavirus, has caused considerable damage to the poultry industry. In Korea, indigenous KM91-like and newly introduced QX-like lineages belonging to the GI-19 lineage have been prevalent despite constant
Delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) is a relatively rare inflammatory-associated neurometabolic complication. In this article, we present a case report of a 50-year-old male patient with a history of carbon monoxide

Zinc deficiency, affecting more than 2 billion people globally, poses a significant public health burden due to its numerous unfavorable effects, such as impaired immune function, taste and smell disorders, pneumonia, growth retardation, visual
Pooled testing combined with molecular diagnostics for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 is a promising method that can increase testing capacities and save costs. However, pooled testing is also associated with the risks of decreased test sensitivity and
