INTRODUCTION: During the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, wearing masks not only prevented transmission of the virus but also reduced social anxiety to some extent. With the end of the epidemic, the intention to wear masks to prevent
Previous studies from our laboratory revealed that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP) administration to a genetically engineered model expressing the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; ACE2 receptor (i.e., hACE2 humanized mouse) mimicked the
CONCLUSION: Although the pandemic negatively affects the psychosocial status of MS patients, this effect can be reduced by identifying the groups that may be affected via telemedicine and taking necessary interventions.
Self-testing for COVID-19 using antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) shows high promise in the Philippines. Self-testing has the potential to provide broader access to testing, empowering individuals by bringing healthcare services
Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and tuberculosis (TB) are among the infectious diseases that cause high rates of mortality worldwide. The epidemiology of antibiotic resistance in correlation to people that
CONCLUSION: The ALBI grade 3 and FIB-4 index ≥ 3.25, higher PT-INR, hsCRP levels and lower albumin levels could be associated with mortality in non-cirrhotic CLD patients with COVID-19. Clinicians could assess the ALBI grade, FIB-4 index, PT-INR, hs
Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) has been found elevated during COVID-19 infection, and associated with systematic inflammation as well as a poor clinical outcome. However, how did CRP participated in the COVID-19 pathogenesis remains poorly understood
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we have demonstrated the utility of system dynamics modelling incorporating local intelligence and collaborative working during the pandemic to respond rapidly and take decisions to protect the population. This led to
