CONCLUSIONS: Telemedicine for medical abortion appeared to be effective, safe and acceptable to women, with less time spent in the clinic. However, due to the small sample size resulting from early cessation, the study was underpowered to confirm

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), has been implemented globally. However, there remains confusion about the number and frequency of samples to be collected; as well as which types of treatment systems can provide reliable specific details about

Interferons (IFNs) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) are the major players in the host innate immunity against viral infection. In a recent Nature paper, Xu et al. identified phospholipid scramblase 1 (PLSCR1) as a novel ISG that restricts

CONCLUSION: Post-exposure prophylaxis with KRT can prevent the onset of COVID-19 in close contacts after vaccination. More randomized clinical trials with larger samples are required to better evaluate KRT as a post-exposure prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2

CONCLUSION: Multiple dimensions of caregiver burden were experienced by family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer in the palliative context. Family-centred palliative care must be further developed.

Background and objective The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitated a sudden and drastic shift in patient management throughout the healthcare system, to curb the spread of the disease and deal with resource limitations. Many

CONCLUSION: While treatment with WJ-MSCs appeared safe and feasible in patients with SARS-CoV2 moderate or severe ARDS in this phase 2a trial, the treatment was not associated with an increased percentage of patients with P/F > 200 at 10d, nor did 90

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) expressing foreign antigens have great potential as mucosal vaccines. Our previous study reported that recombinant Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SK156 displaying SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 epitopes elicited humoral and cell

Background Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare and fulminant infection associated with high mortality. Plastic surgeons come across this infection in the settings of road traffic accidents, surgical site infections, and as a secondary infection with

CONCLUSION: High sCD163 and sCD14 levels, hematological parameters, and blood morphology reflect monocyte activation in COVID-19 infection. sCD163 is a potential marker of disease severity. These findings support further study of therapeutics
