PubMed COVID-19 Clinical Care

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused millions of deaths, posing a substantial threat to global public health. Viruses evolve different strategies to antagonize or evade host immune responses. While ectopic

INTRODUCTION: The objective was to evaluate the predictive value of the ROX index and describe the evolution of a population of patients admitted to intensive care for COVID-19 pneumonia who required high-flow oxygen therapy.

Background: We examined patterns of smoking in relation to health-related socioeconomic vulnerability (HRSV) among U.S. women early in the pandemic and whether mental health symptoms mediated these relationships. Materials and Methods: Data were

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange coupled with mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is widely used for monoclonal antibody (mAb) epitope mapping, which aids in the development of therapeutic mAbs and vaccines, as well as enables the understanding of viral immune

The spread of SARS-CoV-2 has been geographically uneven. To understand the drivers of this spatial variation in SARS-CoV-2 transmission, in particular the role of stochasticity, we used the early stages of the SARS-CoV-2 invasion in Washington state

CONCLUSIONS: Disruptions in medical care during the pandemic were associated with a decrease in ABC testing. Future research is needed to assess whether blood glucose/A1c and BP testing returns to prepandemic levels and if reductions in these tests

Widespread school closures and other non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), used to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2, significantly disrupted transmission patterns of seasonal respiratory viruses. As NPIs were relaxed, populations were vulnerable to

Mathematical modelling studies have shown that repetitive screening can be used to mitigate SARS-CoV-2 transmission in primary schools while keeping schools open. However, not much is known about how transmission progresses within schools and whether

CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that combining two mRNA sequences may be an effective way to develop a broadly protective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine against a wide range of variant types. Importantly, we provide the optimal combination regimen and propose a

CONCLUSION: The present findings provide evidence on factors associated with the COVID-19 vaccination status of nurses in long-term care facilities in Germany for the first time. Further quantitative as well as qualitative studies are necessary for a
