Description
The single-stranded RNA virus, SARS-CoV-2, causing the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted daily life globally. It has been suggested to supplement the general population with vitamin D to reduce the impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless, no clear
Virtual Clinical Simulation Adoption and Use by Licensed Practical Nurse/Licensed Vocational Nurse Education Programs During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Description
CONCLUSION: As the adoption of virtual simulation increases, clear definitions of what constitutes clinical virtual simulation must be established. Additionally, rigorous inquiry to support evidence-based regulatory guidelines is needed.
Validated computational modelling to evaluate spatial inactivation of airborne pathogens by Far-UVC irradiation
Description
Recent experimental studies have indicated the potential for ultraviolet-C irradiation at 222nm (Far-UVC) to be used in occupied rooms to safely reduce exposure to airborne pathogens. We present simulations applying a Monte Carlo radiation transfer
Variation in biochemical parameters in COVID-19 patients admitted at a tertiary care dedicated COVID hospital: A prospective study
Description
CONCLUSION: We proposed cutoff values of certain biochemical parameters, which will help in judging the severity of the infection at admission. We developed a predictive model with a significant predictive capability for CRP and ferritin values
Vaccination coverage and breakthrough infections of COVID-19 during the second wave among staff of selected medical institutions in India
Description
India experienced the second wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection from April 3 to June 10, 2021. During the second wave, Delta variant B.1617.2 emerged as the predominant strain, spiking cases from 12.5 million to 29.3 million (cumulative) by the end of the
Vaccinations in hematological patients in the era of target therapies: Lesson learnt from SARS-CoV-2
Description
Novel targeting agents for hematologic diseases often exert on- or off-target immunomodulatory effects, possibly impacting on response to anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations and other vaccines. Agents that primarily affect B cells, particularly anti-CD20
Validation of a Satisfaction Scale with a Telemedicine COVID-19 Service: Satis-COVID
Description
Objectives: Despite being a widespread tool, telehealth was significantly incorporated during the COVID-19 pandemic period, but it still lacks analysis methodologies, greater digital security, and satisfaction assessment instruments that are still
Ventilation Improvements Among K-12 Public School Districts - United States, August-December 2022
Description
Improving ventilation has been one of several COVID-19 prevention strategies implemented by kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools to stay open for safe in-person learning. Because transmission of SARS-CoV-2 occurs through inhalation of
Vaccine effectiveness against transmission of alpha, delta and omicron SARS-COV-2-infection, Belgian contact tracing, 2021-2022
Description
CONCLUSIONS: While we observed VOC-specific immune-escape, especially by Omicron, and waning over time since immunization, vaccination remained associated with a reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2-transmission.
