Background: Physical distancing and visiting restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic particullarly posed significant challenges in providing timely medical care in nursing homes. Virtual visits were pivotal in providing both scheduled and urgent
CONCLUSIONS: Greater variability in microvasculature perfusion occurs at sites of macular ischemia due to BRVO. We report a novel way for quantifying macular perfusion variability using OCTA. This technique may have applicability for studying the
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic demonstrated how rapidly vaccines and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) could be deployed when the field is prepared to respond to a novel virus, serving as proof of concept that the prototype pathogen
The intake of Vitamin D against COVID-19 has theoretical bases. In the 3-year period of the pandemic, hundreds of favorable observational studies and some small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been produced.However, to date, RCTs of larger
Introduction: Accurate and rapid diagnostics paired with effective tracking and tracing systems are key to halting the spread of infectious diseases, limiting the emergence of new variants and to monitor vaccine efficacy. The current gold standard
An effective worldwide vaccination campaign started and is still being carried out in the face of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. While vaccines are great tools to confront the pandemic, predominantly adenoviral vector-based
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) is a rare multisystem inflammatory disease affecting the eyes, ears, brain, skin, and hair. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new contagious infection that might trigger the onset of VKH disease, as previously
SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination elicit a broad range of neutralizing antibody responses against the different variants of concern (VOC). We established a new variant-adapted surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) and assessed the
During the COVID-19 pandemic we developed a post-graduate virtual learning environment (PGVLE) in the West Midlands region for higher trainees in oral and maxillofacial surgery. We continued to develop this following the pandemic and sought to
