The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had great societal and health consequences. Despite the availability of vaccines, infection rates remain high due to immune evasive Omicron sublineages. Broad-spectrum antivirals are needed to safeguard against
Aim: To assess the association serum levels of selenium (Se) and copper (Cu) with symptoms and IgG immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Patients & methods/materials: Blood samples and nasopharyngeal swabs were obtained from 126 COVID-19 patients with mild
Antibodies form an important component of our immune response to pathogens. A robust antibody response can lead to the swift clearance of infection. The protection offered by COVID-19 vaccines has been attributed in large measure to the antibodies
Bemnifosbuvir is an oral antiviral drug with a dual mechanism of action targeting viral RNA polymerase, with in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2. We conducted a phase 2, double-blind study evaluating the antiviral activity, safety, efficacy, and
Wastewater surveillance offers a rapid evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a community. We describe how a community group, the Yarmouth Wastewater Testing Team (YWTT), in Yarmouth, Maine, (population 8,990) utilized an asset-based community
Antibodies capable of neutralising SARS-CoV-2 are well studied, but Fc receptor-dependent antibody activities that can also significantly impact the course of infection have not been studied in such depth. As most SARS-CoV-2 vaccines induce only anti
A primary objective of active aging policies is to promote health and optimize care for individuals. In aging societies, the maintenance of good physical and mental health and the management of risk factors are of utmost importance. Few research
BACKGROUND: The provision of pain management programmes (PMPs) changed substantially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic with virtual delivery implemented in many services. Little is known about patient selection processes for virtual PMPs and how
The development of effective and flexible vaccine platforms is a major public health challenge, especially in the context of influenza vaccines that have to be renewed every year. Adenoviruses (AdVs) are easy to produce and have a good safety and
