SARS-CoV-2 enters host cells through the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and/or transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2). In this study, we investigated whether proteases increased SARS-CoV-2 infectivity using pseudotyped viruses

New therapies are needed to prevent exacerbations, improve quality of life and slow disease progression in bronchiectasis. Inhibition of cathepsin C (CatC) activity has the potential to decrease activation of neutrophil-derived serine proteases in

In early 2020, the Australian government implemented lockdown restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Our study aims to investigate the impact of lockdowns on sexual desire and enjoyment of sex among Australian women. We conducted an online

CONCLUSION: This study has identified factors influencing implementation of AMS E&T in UK hospitals and further identified where implemented, AMS E&T did not address real-world challenges. Current AMS E&T needs to be optimised to elicit practice

The relationship between N-antigen concentration and viral load within and across different specimens guides the clinical performance of rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) in different uses. A prospective study was conducted in Porto Velho, Brazil, to

We report a case of bilateral frosted branch angiitis (FBA) following mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccination. A 79-year-old male was referred to our hospital with a sudden onset of blurred vision in the right eye, which occurred during his return home after

CONCLUSIONS: Expanding access to SRH services for young people during disruptive events is critical to reduce disparities in HIV and other SRH outcomes.

CONCLUSION: Two months after infection by SARS-CoV-2, persistent symptoms were frequent in patients referred to a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic. Additionally, the SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as the persistence of symptoms, had a

CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19-infected patients suffering from a hip fracture have a high risk of thromboembolism, and therefore, require utmost attention for appropriate evaluation and prevention.
