CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decrease in both facilities serving meals and patients' food consumption during hemodialysis. To prevent the loss of meal opportunities, establishing safe methods for food intake and alternatives in

Effect of the quality of sample-based RNA on COVID-19 real-time RT-PCR results was investigated. The purity of the extracts was dependent on the extraction method (P<0.0001) and affected the test interpretations (P = 0.002). Gross RNA concentration negatively correlated with Ct values (P < 0.0001). The presence of impurities contributed to inconclusive test results.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, a better understanding of service continuation, support practices, and experiences related to COVID-19 will prepare us for future environmental and health crises by identifying areas for improvement, intervention, and policy

Several studies on COVID-19 pandemic have shown that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) originating from human stool are detected in raw sewage for several days, leading to potential health risks for workers due to the

CONCLUSIONS: At follow-up, CT scans performed at least 6 months after COVID-19 pneumonia onset showed %LAAs that were inversely associated with %DLCO and could be considered a marker of irreversible lung damage.

CONCLUSIONS: National health policy is a guide for health development, and uncertainty in health policy can affect not only the implementation of policy by managers but also the health-seeking behavior of the people. Here, we conclude that changes in

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common condition, particularly in the COVID-19 pandemic, which is distinguished by sudden onset of respiratory insufficiency with tachypnea, oxygen-refractory cyanosis, reduced lung compliance and diffuse infiltration of

CONCLUSIONS: Quality of Dutch ICU care based on seven indicators significantly improved from 2009 to 2019 and between-ICU heterogeneity is medium to small, except for pressure ulcers. The COVID-19 pandemic disturbed the trend in quality improvement

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are used in consumer and industrial products, including disinfectants. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, disinfectant use has increased, purportedly increasing loads to wastewater treatment plants and the environment

Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) is presented as a tool for evaluation of the effectiveness of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems for the disinfection of indoor air. The QMRA is developed in the context of UVGI system
