CONCLUSIONS: Monovalent mRNA booster doses provided additional protection against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection during BA.2/BA.2.12.1 and BA.4/BA.5 subvariant circulation, but protection waned over time.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic forces athletes to perform their workout at home with alternative training methods. Exercise resistance bands, often used for this purpose, can cause damage when they recoil or tear. Potentially

CONCLUSIONS: One week of mask re-use increased the number of low-abundance taxa on the face but did not impact the upper respiratory microbiome. Thus, face mask re-use has little impact on the host microbiome, though whether minor changes to the skin

CONCLUSIONS: Monovalent mRNA booster doses provided additional protection against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection during BA.2/BA.2.12.1 and BA.4/BA.5 subvariant circulation, but protection waned over time.

It has been three years since SARS-CoV-2 emerged and the world plunged into a "once in a century" pandemic. Since then, multiple waves of infection have swept through the human population, led by variants that were able to evade any acquired immunity

CONCLUSIONS: Due to insufficient data, further research is necessary. Further studies and follow-up are recommended, which would make possible an assessment of remote effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy and vital parameters of the newborn.

CONCLUSIONS: Vaccine effectiveness were comparable between HCW and non-HCW for the delta variant, but significantly higher in HCW than non-HCW for the omicron variant. Both HCW and non-HCW got increased protection from a third dose.

Community residents exposed to nuclear power plant (NPP) accidents have long-term worry about the effects of radiation. After the 2011 Fukushima NPP accident, those who experienced traumatic events during the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE) tended

CONCLUSION: The UNOS policy change improves access to heart transplantation for higher acuity patients without increasing early post-transplant rates of treated rejection or hospitalization for rejection or infection, factors which portend risk for
