CONCLUSIONS: The most important result of our research was the statistically significant difference in tumor staging at the time of diagnosis between the "Before COVID-19" and "During COVID-19" groups, with a higher mean value in the latter. The
CONCLUSIONS: This pioneering approach within the field of grief research enabled us to leverage the extensive dataset collected during the pandemic, facilitating a deeper comprehension of the predominant factors influencing the grieving process for
CONCLUSIONS: Parallel integration of Illumina and nanopore sequencing strategies is a suitable solution to ensure both high-throughput and rapid response to cope with accelerating the surveillance demands of SARS-CoV-2 while also maintaining accuracy
STUDY QUESTION: Do involuntary definitive childless women have lower psychosocial adjustment levels than women with infertility diagnoses actively trying to conceive and presumably fertile women?
We argue that information from countries who had earlier COVID-19 surges can be used to inform another country's current model, then generating what we call back-to-the-future (BTF) projections. We show that these projections can be used to
To identify starting points for therapeutics targeting SARS-CoV-2, the Paul Scherrer Institute and Idorsia decided to collaboratively perform an X-ray crystallographic fragment screen against its main protease. Fragment-based screening was carried
The evolving clinical resistance in Plasmodium falciparum and the spike in malarial cases after the COVID-19 outbreak has triggered a search for new antimalarials effective against multi-drug-resistant P. falciparum strains. In this study, we
CONCLUSION: mRNA Booster vaccination provided moderate protection against symptomatic infections and high-level protection against severe diseases during the BA.5 epidemic in Japan.
