Understanding the genetic risk and mechanisms through which SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes and comorbidities interact to impact acute and long-term sequelae is essential if we are to reduce the ongoing health burdens of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we
We present a chip-based extended nano-Coulter counter (XnCC) that can detect nanoparticles affinity-selected from biological samples with low concentration limit-of-detection that surpasses existing resistive pulse sensors by 2-3 orders of magnitude
The Tuscan Archipelago, with its great environmental and economic importance, is one of the highest oil spill density areas in the Western Mediterranean. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach, based on numerical applications and experimental
SARS-CoV-2 has posed implications for personal protective equipment supply. In this literature review we examine if elastomeric facepiece respirators (EFRs) are effective substitutes for N95 respirators through comparing their functionality and cost
The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decline in people's subjective well-being and emotional states. Digital travel based on 360° videos provides an alternate way for people to improve their mental health at home during this
CONCLUSIONS: The scatter plot combined with the 95% control lines was applied to compare the IPHs hit by COVID-19 and suggested for use with the hT-index in future studies, not limited to the field of public health as we did in this research.
CONCLUSION: Understanding the vaccine decision-making process of underserved populations likely to decline vaccination due to pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding status will help design tailored interventions to improve vaccine acceptance in
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare hyperinflammatory and immunosuppressed condition affecting children exposed to COVID-19. MIS-C has been associated with an over-exaggerated innate and adaptive immune response
