Bacterial and fungal secondary and co-infections are commonly identified with viral respiratory infections. This study was undertaken to determine the incidence and factors associated with bacterial and fungal infections in patients with COVID-19 as
COVID-19 patients suffer from the detrimental effects of cytokine storm and not much success has been achieved to overcome this issue. We sought to test the ability of selenium to reduce the impact of two important cytokine storm players: IL-6 and
The chemical composition of COVID test swabs has not been examined beyond the manufacturer's datasheets. The unprecedented demand for swabs to conduct rapid lateral flow tests and nucleic acid amplification tests led to mass production, including 3D
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that sexual distancing measures are difficult to maintain for a long period of time. Other measures, such as confinement to a small network of known partners, might be more effective for longer pandemics in
CONCLUSIONS: Together, our findings indicate that elevated LFTs found in our patient cohort are not due to direct viral parenchymal infection with SARS-CoV-2 but rather likely a consequence of systemic complications of COVID-19. This work aids in the
CONCLUSIONS: Three clusters with distinct characteristics and outcomes were identified. Such clusters could facilitate the identification of targeted populations for the next trials.
Bangladesh faces distinct challenges as a resource-poor country due to the combined effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and simultaneous dengue outbreaks. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to infection and death from COVID-19. While overall
We explored the impacts of the remote and return-to-in-person work periods on sleep and well-being as reported by faculty (n = 22) and non-teaching staff (n = 21) with and without disabilities. Participants were recruited through college platforms
