The upper airways represent the point of entrance from where Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection spreads to the lungs. In the present work, α-tocopheryl-polyethylene-glycol succinate (TPGS) micelles loaded with
CONCLUSIONS: This data suggests LGG is associated with prolonged time to COVID-19 infection, reduced incidence of illness symptoms, and gut microbiome changes when used as prophylaxis ≤7 days post-COVID-19 exposure, but not overall incidence. This
CONCLUSIONS: Although HARP did not significantly reduce the rate of falls, this pragmatic study showed that the program was feasible to deliver in low-income senior housing and was acceptable among residents. There was effective collaboration between
CONCLUSION: The new screening methods for GDM have poor accuracy and a high risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Comparatively, targeted screening tests to detect GDM according to the risk level are more effective in an emergency. In the future, the
BACKGROUND: Morbidity and mortality are higher in immunocompromised patients affected by COVID-19 than in the general population. Some authors have successfully used antiviral combination, but never in the early phase of the infection.
Energetic local frustration offers a biophysical perspective to interpret the effects of sequence variability on protein families. Here we present a methodology to analyze local frustration patterns within protein families and superfamilies that
CONCLUSIONS: Comparison of the OHRQoL after rehabilitation with prostheses among patients with cancer and post COVID-19 associated mucormycosis showed that the OHRQoL scores, although much higher among patients with mucormycosis before rehabilitation
CONCLUSIONS: This large-scale study from Toyonaka City suggests a 5.2 % prevalence rate for persistent COVID-19 symptoms 4 weeks post-infection, potentially indicating a lower prevalence of long COVID in Japanese populations after the rise of the
