The humoral response after the fourth dose of a mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 has not been adequately described in elderly recipients, particularly those not exposed previously to SARS-CoV-2. Serum anti-RBD IgG levels (Abbott SARS-CoV-2 IgG II Quant
Development of specific signal reporters with signal amplification effect are highly needed for sensitive and accurate detection of pathogen. Herein, we design a colorimetric immunosensing nanosystem based on liposome encapsulated quantum dots-sized
Community-based organizations (CBOs) are on the frontlines offering resources and support to residents during times of distress. Through a community-academic partnership, an interdisciplinary team developed, collected, and analyzed 91 surveys from
CONCLUSIONS: There was a strong correlation between IgG anti-S1/RBD and nAb IC50 after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Clinical comorbidities, such as prior COVID infection and renal function, impacted this correlation. These results may assist the
CONCLUSIONS: Co-developing health messages in response to health emergencies is possible. Adopting more context-relevant, participatory, people-centred, and reflexive multidisciplinary approaches could help develop solutions that are more responsive
This report presents selected highlights from 2022 final birth data on key demographic, healthcare utilization, and infant health indicators. The number of births, general fertility rates (GFRs) (births per 1,000 females aged 15-44), age-specific
The utilization of healthcare services serves as a barometer for current and future health outcomes. Even in countries with modern healthcare IT infrastructure, however, fragmentation and interoperability issues hinder the (short-term) monitoring of
Respiratory viruses cause the highest number of morbidities and deaths annually among all infectious pathogens. This article discusses the current epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, and drug treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome
In 2022, new research studies influenced the field of pediatric asthma with improvements in diagnosis and evaluation; new treatment options including biologic therapies; changes in risk factors for asthma; and increased discussion about the impact of
