CONCLUSIONS: People living alone have poorer mental health and lower life satisfaction. During the pandemic, this gap in self-reported distress remained; however, there was a narrowing of the gap in service use.
CONCLUSION: Equity issues were rarely explicitly considered in the development COVID-19 formal recommendations focused on specific disadvantaged populations. Guidance is needed to support the consideration of health equity in guideline development
CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis provides useful insight on whether and how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced HAI incidence and death in Italian ICUs, highlighting the need of evaluating the long-term effect of the pandemic.
Emerging in South Africa, SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant was marked by the expression of an exaggerated number of mutations throughout its genome and by the emergence of subvariants, whose attributes developed by them have been associated with amino acid
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that screening for latent strongyloidiasis in COVID-19 patients in endemic areas using high-sensitivity diagnostic methods, particularly ELISA, before receiving suppressive drugs should be given more consideration.
Interaction-driven modeling of diseases over real-world contact data has been shown to promote the understanding of the spread of diseases in communities. This temporal modeling follows the path-preserving order and timing of the contacts, which are
CONCLUSION: Most HIS scores increased during this COVID-19 pandemic period; there was a small, significant negative correlation between the composite quality score and exposure to state policies for older adult protection. Further research is needed
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis objectively described deficits in fundamental surgical skills for incoming interns whose medical school education was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A targeted surgical skills curriculum partially remediated these
The use of soluble recombinant ACE2 (rACE2) as a decoy capable of blocking SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells has been envisaged as a therapeutic strategy to reduce viral loads in patients suffering from severe COVID-19. We engineered a novel form of rACE2
