Cellular and humoral immune responses after a third dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine in lung transplant recipients in Japan
Description
CONCLUSION: Although the third dose of mRNA vaccine in LTx recipients was effective and safe, impaired cellular and humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were noted. Given lower antibody production and establishing vaccine safety, repeating
Comparative assessment of homemade ELISA and lateral flow assay (LFA)in the rapid, specific and sensitive detection of SARS-CoV-2 anti-nucleocapsid protein in sera of Egyptian patients
Description
Several diagnostic measures have been employed to precisely detect the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection using viral antigens, nucleic acids, and other serological approaches. The sensitivity and specificity of the serological tests remain a challenging
Changes in the Incidence of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Calgary, Canada, during the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic 2020-2022
Description
We describe the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic on invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Calgary. IPD declined significantly worldwide during 2020 and 2021. This may be due to the reduced transmission

Clear polyurethane coatings with excellent virucidal properties: Preparation, characterization and rapid inactivation of human coronaviruses 229E and SARS-CoV-2
Description
Commercial polyurethane (PU) coating formulations have been modified with 1-(hydroxymethyl)-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (HMD) both in bulk (0.5 and 1% w/w) and onto the coatings surface as an N-halamine precursor, to obtain clear coatings with high

Description
BACKGROUND: Older people with debilitating degenerative spine disease may benefit from surgery. However, recovery is described as a circuitous process. In general, they describe feeling powerless and receiving depersonalized care during
Clinical Accuracy and Utility of Plasma Microbial Cell-Free DNA Whole-Genome Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies or Coronavirus Disease 2019
Description
CONCLUSIONS: Aspergillus cfDNA detection strongly correlated with proven/probable IA diagnosed using EORTC/MSG definitions and could be used as an additional diagnostic tool for IA.
Challenges in Conducting Therapeutic Trials in Pregnancy: Emphasizing Recent Lessons Learned
