CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 severity was increased in patients with COPD and decreased in those with asthma, eosinophilia, and non-eosinophilic asthma, independent of clinical confounders. These findings suggest that COVID-19 severity may be influenced by

The detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial for effective prevention and surveillance of COVID-19. In this study, we report the development of a novel detection assay named CENSOR that enables sensitive and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate the reliability of a shared ventilation system assembled using commonly available clinical components that allows titration of individual tidal volumes. This system may be useful as a strategy of last resort for Covid-19

BACKGROUND: Bivalent BA.1 booster vaccines were offered to adults aged 50 years or older and clinically vulnerable people as part of the 2022 autumn COVID-19 booster vaccination programme in England. Previously, all adults in England had been offered

Despite global vaccination efforts, immunocompromized patients remain at high risk for COVID-19-associated morbidity. In particular, patients with impaired humoral immunity have shown a high risk of persistent infection. We report a case series of

The ability to infer the timing and amplitude of perturbations in epidemiological systems from their stochastically spread low-resolution outcomes is crucial for multiple applications. However, the general problem of connecting epidemiological curves

CONCLUSION: The results show that when RT-PCR results are negative, chest CT could be considered as a complementary diagnostic method for the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients. A more comprehensive diagnostic method could be established by combining the

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of DKA at onset of type 2 diabetes was higher during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic than pre-pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 infection was not associated with DKA severity or insulin discontinuation within the first year of diagnosis in

CONCLUSION: The study indicated high COVID-19 vaccination acceptability among HCPs. However, some HCPs are hesitant to take COVID-19 vaccinations immediately. Increased adoption of COVID-19 vaccinations among HCPs and the broader Ghanaian population
