The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent travel restrictions led to a considerable reduction in tourism and human activity on Maui, presenting a unique opportunity to study debris accumulation on local beaches during changing levels of human activities
CONCLUSION: There was an effectiveness of three-dose inactivated vaccines against Omicron subvariant BF.7. Our findings supported the importance of booster vaccination.
CONCLUSION: While further interrogating the accuracy of denominator estimates for the urban population, incorporating findings into pandemic preparedness and response will ensure uninterrupted childhood vaccination during emergencies. Addressing the
CONCLUSIONS: Burkholderia outbreaks at the time of COVID-19 were associated with high mortality. Rapid detection and response by a dedicated experienced team (as in the second outbreak) can reduce mortality and prevent superimposed cross-transmission
CONCLUSION: This systematic review has identified several key vulnerability features related to urban areas in the context of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. The findings underscore the importance of improving policies related to urban exposures and
CONCLUSION: In this study, we propose the framework of DSIFL that achieves improvements over the conventional FL approach. We conduct empirical studies with two kinds of medical images. We compare the performance by variants of FL vs. DSIFL
CONCLUSIONS: Limited contingencies within the health system IT infrastructure - what we call a lack of system resilience - was compensated for by a resilient workforce. Within the context of the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic, this was an enormous
CONCLUSION: The estimated low seroprevalence (which indicates a relatively limited spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Quebec) might change rapidly-and this tool, developed using blood donors, could enable a rapid update of the prevalence estimate in the absence
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 is here to stay. Hepatic dysfunction in COVID-19 signals severe COVID-19 infections. Patients with chronic liver disease have higher mortality from COVID-19 than general population. It is important to remember the lessons learned
