Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a tool now increasingly proposed to monitor the SARS-CoV-2 burden in populations without the need for individual mass testing. It is especially interesting in metropolitan areas where spread can be very fast
CONCLUSIONS: Integration of simulation with human factor ergonomics and UCD, in partnership with mechanical engineers, facilitated a novel context to design and redesign a pediatric IACS to meet user needs and address safety concerns.
This research aims to understand the persuasion techniques used in Twitter posts about COVID-19 vaccines by the different vaccine sentiments (i.e., Pro-Vaccine, Anti-Vaccine, and Neutral) using the Elaboration Likelihood Model, Social judgment Theory
CONCLUSION: Despite some distinctive differences between COVID-19 and MERS patients prior to intubation, the respiratory and ventilatory parameters postintubation were not different. The higher initial CRP level in COVID-19 patients might explain the
Currently, several vaccines and antivirals across the globe are in clinical trials. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was reported to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 virus in antiviral assays. Here, it raises the curiosity about the molecular target of HCQ inside the
John and Curran have convincingly shown that Scanlonian contractualism is a valuable resource for evaluating pandemic response policies, and that we should reject cost-benefit analysis in favour of a contractualist framework. However, they fail to
The use of high-dose of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) as immunomodulators for the treatment of COVID-19-affected individuals has shown promising results. IVIG reduced inflammation in these patients, who progressively restored respiratory
