CONCLUSIONS: When determining disease testing cutoffs from small training data samples, we recommend using the extreme value based-methods when targeting a high specificity and the empirical quantile when targeting a lower specificity.

Quantitative assessment of the drivers behind the variation of six criteria pollutants, namely fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)), ozone (O(3)), nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)), sulfur dioxide (SO(2)), particulate matter (PM(10)), and carbon monoxide (CO)

CONCLUSION: Our findings provide the first insights into the characteristics of fatigue in individuals with long-COVID, particularly in terms of fatigue severity and cortisol levels. These results serve as valuable reference data for clinicians

BACKGROUND: Based on single case reports, the COVID-19 Related Obstetric and Neonatal Outcome Study (CRONOS) registry, sponsored by the German Society for Perinatal Medicine (DGPM), investigated the likelihood that SARS-CoV-2 infections of the mother

CONCLUSION: Strategies based on lifestyle adjustments are adequate for the improvement of quality of life and symptom severity in the long COVID-19 population.

Pandemic-related disruptions led to lower BCG vaccine coverage in Brazil. This study highlights a link between reduced vaccinations and increased tuberculosis pulmonary and extrapulmonary cases in infants. Addressing vaccine hesitancy and ensuring

CONCLUSIONS: PM10 and PM2.5 exposure was associated with increased in-hospital mortality and the need for ICU admission and mechanical ventilation among COVID-19 patients in South Korea.

Massive sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 genomes has urged novel methods that employ existing phylogenies to add new samples efficiently instead of de novo inference. 'TIPars' was developed for such challenge integrating parsimony analysis with pre-computed

Objective: The purpose of this study was to test whether COVID impact interacts with genetic risk (polygenic risk score/PRS) to predict alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms. Method: Participants were n = 455 college students (79.6% female, 51%

The decreasing efficacy of antiviral drugs due to viral mutations highlights the challenge of developing a single agent that effectively target multiple viral strains. One promising approach to this problem is to use host cell viral receptors as
