CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare leaders need to secure PPE supply chains and evaluate the effectiveness and side-effects of different PPE designs to minimise occupational harms associated with prolonged PPE use.

The present study is based on the derivation of a new extension of the Poisson distribution using the Ramos-Louzada distribution. Several statistical properties of the new distribution are derived including, factorial moments, moment-generating

Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic roundworm that is present worldwide and can cause lifelong, often asymptomatic, infection. Immunosuppression, particularly by corticosteroids, is a risk factor for hyperinfection syndrome and disseminated

Recent publications have questioned the efficacy of using therapeutic or intermediate doses of low molecular weight heparin in COVID-19 patients, especially in the most severe patients. In order to update these recommendations, a non-systematic

Early detection of increased infections or new variants of SARS-CoV-2 is critical for public health response. To determine whether cycle threshold (Ct) data from PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2 could serve as an early indicator of epidemic growth, we

CONCLUSIONS: The review identified a need for future research to explore the barriers among under-represented groups of academics in Schools of Nursing across a broader geographical area; and what works for various sub-groups of academics. It also

BACKGROUND: Standards of care and guidelines acknowledge insufficient evidence that defines frequency of flushing for implanted vascular access devices (IVADs). Manufacturers recommend 4 weeks, but guidelines suggest that extending to 12 weeks is

Aging population is a global reality that forces public policies based on transdisciplinary research focused on older adults. This raises a series of issues, such as feasability, inequalities, inequities, vulnerability, access to the products

Worldwide, measles remains a major cause of disease and death; the highest incidence is in the World Health Organization African Region (AFR). In 2011, the 46 AFR member states established a goal of regional measles elimination by 2020; this report

Respiratory viral infections are a major global clinical problem, and rapid, cheap, scalable and agnostic diagnostic tests that capture genome-level information on viral variation are urgently needed. Metagenomic approaches would be ideal, but remain
