SARS-CoV-2 outbreak lead to an increased marketing of disinfectants, creating a potential environmental problem. For instance, pre-pandemic environmental levels of the disinfectant benzalkonium chloride (BAC) ranging from 0.5 to 5 mgL^(-1) in

Minimally invasive autopsy (MIA) is an alternative to full autopsy for collection of tissue samples from patient's bodies, using an instrument such as a biopsy needle. MIA has been conducted in many cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and

CONCLUSIONS: Results support the noninferiority of at-home testing versus onsite testing both in terms of participation in testing and adherence to weekly testing. Implementation of at-home COVID-19 screening testing should be part of schools'

BACKGROUND: Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a rare complication of adenoviral vector-based vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The syndrome is caused by antibodies against platelet factor 4 (PF4, CXCL4) that lead to
