Excess mortality and COVID-19 deaths in Italy: A peak comparison study
Description
During a sanitary crisis, excess mortality measures the number of all-cause deaths, beyond what we would have expected if that crisis had not occurred. The high number of COVID-19 deaths started a debate in Italy with two opposite positions: those
Estimating time-dependent contact: a multi-strain epidemiological model of SARS-CoV-2 on the island of Ireland
Description
Mathematical modelling plays a key role in understanding and predicting the epidemiological dynamics of infectious diseases. We construct a flexible discrete-time model that incorporates multiple viral strains with different transmissibilities to
Effectiveness of tocilizumab in non-intubated cases with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Description
CONCLUSION: Among non-intubated severe COVID-19 cases, tocilizumab reduces the risk of invasive mechanical ventilation and mortality compared to standard-of-care treatment.
Evaluation of workplace infection prevention and control measures for COVID-19: A prospective cohort study in Japan
Description
CONCLUSIONS: Employees restricted from reporting to work when ill had significantly lower COVID-19 infection rates than those who did not follow this measure. The results indicated that not coming to work when ill was effective in reducing COVID-19
Elevated interleukin (IL)-6 as a predictor of disease severity among Covid-19 patients: a prospective cohort study
Description
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that elevated IL-6 is significantly related to prolongation of hospital stay in Covid-19 patients. Although not significant, the occurrence of death among patients who had increased IL-6 in the time of admission was
Evaluating the impact of multiple factors on the control of COVID-19 epidemic: A modelling analysis using India as a case study
Description
The currently ongoing COVID-19 outbreak remains a global health concern. Understanding the transmission modes of COVID-19 can help develop more effective prevention and control strategies. In this study, we devise a two-strain nonlinear dynamical
Experiences of maintaining awake prone positioning in non-intubated patients with COVID-19: A qualitative study
Description
CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare staff should clarify the mechanism underlying the effectiveness of the awake prone position to patients to eliminate any doubts that they may have. Psychological support and appropriate supervision should be emphasised. Pain
Enantioselective Effect of Chiral Small Molecules in SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine-Induced Immune Response
Description
Although numerous chiral small molecules have been discovered and synthesized, the investigation on their enantioselective immunological effects remains limited. In this study, we designed and synthesized a pair of small molecule enantiomers (R/S
Evaluating the Effect of Activity and Environment on Fall Risk in a Paradigm-Depending Laboratory Setting: Protocol for an Experimental Pilot Study
Description
CONCLUSIONS: In the field of fall prevention, a more precise fall risk model will have a significant impact on research leading to more effective prevention approaches. Given the described burden related to falls and the high prevalence, considerable
