CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights an association between the occurrence of autoimmune diseases and COVID-19 vaccination, while findings related to diabetes, asthma, and hypertension did not display significant associations. The results emphasize the
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the combination of GITC and Triton X-100 detergent is a highly efficient method for RNA extraction and direct RT-LAMP detection of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples, providing a valuable tool for the rapid and cost
BACKGROUND: Some studies indicate that pregnant Kenyan women were concerned about Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) exposure during maternity care. We assessed concern regarding COVID-19 exposure and any impact on antenatal care (ANC) enrollment
CONCLUSIONS: Hospital rehabilitation in the early period after stroke improved locomotion efficiency and balance, and reduced the risk of falls in post-stroke patients, both with and without COVID-19 infection.
Severe course of COVID-19 is largely determined by hyperactivation of the immune system, or cytokine storm, in which immune cells (lymphocytes, monocytes, etc.) play a major role. Using low-voltage scanning electron microscopy, we studied the
We studied the ability of the polyphenolic complex from Maackia amurensis, the active substance of Maksar, to inhibit the cytopathogenic effect induced by the SARS-CoV-2 and to reduce the concentration of viral RNA in infected Vero E6 cells
Protection of the Critically Endangered East Asian Pangolin species is hampered by the vulnerability of captive individuals to infection. Studies have previously shown the pangolin to have a unique pseudogenisation of many immunity genes (including
Coping with the COVID-19 pandemic had implications for athletes' mental well-being. This mixed-methods study examined the influence of self-compassion on athletes' coping during the pandemic through the mediator of cognitive appraisal. The
