CONCLUSIONS: Despite CHCT following older patients with higher comorbidity burden, there appeared to be a protective effect. Patients followed by CHCT were more likely to present to acute care and less likely to die inpatient.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes a systemic inflammatory response and a temporary immunosuppression of hosts. Several reports have showed that reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is strongly associated with COVID-19. We
This study aimed to estimate lung and breast doses for individual patients using the size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) method, as well as calculating effective doses, in patients who underwent chest CT scans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cancer risk
Objective: To investigate the clinical features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) undergoing immunosuppressive therapy (IST) . Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we collected the demographic and
Individuals with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) may show no symptoms to moderate or severe complications. This variation may be due to differences in the strength of the immune response, including a delayed interferon (IFN) response in
CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the intricate interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic factors that shape antibiotic prescription decisions, underscoring the significance of addressing these factors in mitigating overprescribing.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, expedient vaccine production has been slowed by the shortage of safe and effective raw materials, such as adjuvants, essential components to enhance the efficacy of vaccines. Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) is a potent and
CONCLUSIONS: Detecting SARS-CoV-2 in samples with low viral loads using RT-qPCR can be challenging. However, our study suggests that RT-ddPCR, with its higher sensitivity and accuracy, is better suited for detecting low viral copies in samples
CONCLUSION: Separation challenged family function and destabilized family dynamics. Nurses provided emotional support, information about and contact with the patient and relatives. The patients' distorted perception of reality and lack of memory were
