The pandemic of Covid-19 has led to reluctance or resistance to wear a mask in countries that made it compulsory. The acceptance to wear a mask against respiratory diseases depends on conceptions of scientific authority and of the personality in the

Escape mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 are a major reason for Omicron breakthrough infections. After basal vaccination only very low titers of Omicron neutralizing antibodies are present. However, booster vaccinations induce higher

The human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem made of trillions of microorganisms. The composition can be affected by diet, metabolism, age, geography, stress, seasons, temperature, sleep, and medications. The increasing evidence about the

Experts have warned against the pandemic burden on healthcare workers early on, however little is known about the evolution of this burden with time, in addition to the long-term effects of post-COVID symptoms in healthcare workers. Staff at the

The historically dominant SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and the currently dominant Omicron variants carry a T492I substitution within the non-structural protein 4 (NSP4). Based on in silico analyses, we hypothesized that the T492I mutation increases viral

CONCLUSIONS: The oxygenation stretch index, which combines P(aO(2)) /F(IO(2)) and ΔP, is associated with mortality and may be useful to predict clinical outcomes in COVID-19 ARDS.

BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) provide essential evidence to inform practice, but the many necessary steps result in lengthy times to initiation, which is problematic in the case of rapidly emerging infections such as COVID-19. This

With the SARS-CoV-2 mutations evolving and prompt of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, no information is available on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status in Chinese patients with lung cancer. An electronic questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics

BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nonurgent surgeries were delayed to preserve capacity for patients admitted with COVID-19; surgeons were challenged personally and professionally during this time. We aimed to describe the impact of delays to
