CONCLUSIONS: MH service users have increased risk of hospitalisation for many vaccine-preventable conditions. This may be due to reduced vaccination rates, more severe illness requiring hospitalisation, greater exposure to infectious conditions or
The paper assesses the performance and recovery of Mauritian MSMEs in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study probes into a series of internal measures and plans set out by MSMEs to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and also dwells into the
The Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is more infectious than the previous variants but less severe; more patients are being followed up without hospitalization. Identification of patients with severe
CONCLUSION: We conclude that SARS-CoV-2 Ct values of rRT-PCR alone does not have a role in aiding severity stratification among patients with COVID-19 since the viral dynamics and Ct value may vary due to the emerging variants that occur in different
In this paper, we study mathematically a two strains epidemic model taking into account non-monotonic incidence rates and vaccination strategy. The model contains seven ordinary differential equations that illustrate the interaction between the
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) has become a subject of increased interest among both researchers and practitioners, owing both to its recent inclusion in the DSM-5-TR and the growing evidence of widespread complications of bereavement in the context
The approval of mRNA-containing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for use in a vaccine against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the clinical utility of RNA-loaded nanocapsules has stimulated a rapid acceleration in
This paper examines factors associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) among newly married women in Nepal, and how IPV was affected by food insecurity and COVID-19. Given evidence that food insecurity is associated with IPV and COVID-19, we
Biochemistry is a core subject in the cross-disciplinary training on Biotechnology engineering courses. Metabolic pathways teaching has traditionally integrated hands-on laboratory experiences and traditional lectures, which detail a large number of
