CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol-specific policy restrictions implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with reduced consumption. However, the magnitude and direction of change was moderated by area-based deprivation level, albeit
CONCLUSION: We suggest supporting countries to develop a roadmap for influenza vaccine uptake and utilization, assessment of barriers, and burden of influenza, including measuring the economic burden to enhance vaccine acceptance.
During nursing education, few practical hours are devoted to comprehensively preparing students to care for a dying patient. Contact with a dying patient is a key element of the job of every working nurse in the profession. Therefore, it is necessary
Surface antigens of pathogens are commonly targeted by vaccine-elicited antibodies but antigenic variability, notably in RNA viruses such as influenza, HIV and SARS-CoV-2, pose challenges for control by vaccination. For example, influenza A(H3N2)
INTRODUCTION: The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has remained a public health concern since it first emerged in 2012. Although many potential treatments for MERS-CoV have been developed and tested, none have had complete
CONCLUSION: Chinese CBOs serving vulnerable populations affected by HIV/AIDS are instrumental in building resilience in their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they can play significant roles in providing uninterrupted services during
In this work, a novel sensing structure based on Au nanoparticles/HfO2/fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (AuNPs/HfO2/FDSOI) MOSFET is fabricated. Using such a planar double gate MOSFET, the electrostatic enrichment (ESE) process is proposed for the
Sepsis has a high mortality rate, and treating sepsis remains a significant challenge worldwide. In former studies, our group found that traditional Chinese medicine, Shen FuHuang formula (SFH), is a promising medicine in treating coronavirus disease
CONCLUSION: Medical students were not ready for virtual clerkships. There will be a need to integrate novel learning modalities such as patient simulations and case-based learning in order to meet future demands of the medical profession and enhance
