Three and a half years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the nature and durability of protection against SARS-CoV-2 still remains unclear. Current COVID-19 mRNA vaccines have been shown to provide minimal protection against infection with XBB variants but
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), an off-patent drug used to treat liver disease, is able to block SARS-CoV-2 entry into the cells downregulating ACE2 expression, a promising strategy to protect against infection. In this light, John et al. have recently
This study sought to determine complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods used by older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample for this descriptive study comprised 415 adults older than 65 years who completed an online
Our study aimed to determine the level of coronavirus-related health literacy among school administrators and the factors that influence this. The sample of this cross-sectional study consisted of 402 school administrators serving in primary
CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate a decrease in cancer diagnosis, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This decrease in the number of pathology reports may result in a stage shift causing a subsequent longer-term impact on survival patterns.
Technology brings new opportunities in terms of education and research, and global pandemics such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic require online education-style approaches. Visualisation is of great importance in digitised education. In this study
CONCLUSION: The combination of CNNs and RNNs enables the model to effectively capture spatial and temporal information, leading to improved performance in COVID-19 detection. The proposed hybrid architecture with transfer learning from X-ray images
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization named vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 threats to global health. The impact of hesitancy on the uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines was of particular concern, given the
