Healthcare-associated infections in critical COVID-19 patients in Tunis: epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes
Description
CONCLUSIONS: During the COVID-19 era, the incidence of HAIs increased and MDR isolates remained frequent. A severe biological inflammatory syndrome, invasive devices, and elevated cumulative steroid dosages were related to HAIs. HAI was a significant
The CDC Foundation's COVID-19 emergency response pilot project: a case study in knowledge brokering for older adults and caregivers
Description
OBJECTIVE: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency has disproportionately affected older adults and their caregivers, requiring evidence-based and coordinated efforts to meet their health and social needs. This paper describes
Expression of TRIM56 gene in SARS-CoV-2 variants and its relationship with progression of COVID-19
Description
CONCLUSION: Further research is needed to characterize the impact of TRIM proteins on the severity of COVID-19.
The effect of clinical face shields on aerosolized particle exposure
Description
BACKGROUND: Face shields protect healthcare workers (HCWs) from fluid and large droplet contamination. Their effect on smaller aerosolized particles is unknown.

COVID-19 Detection from Respiratory Sounds with Hierarchical Spectrogram Transformers
Description
Monitoring of prevalent airborne diseases such as COVID-19 characteristically involves respiratory assessments. While auscultation is a mainstream method for preliminary screening of disease symptoms, its utility is hampered by the need for dedicated
Elevated BMI reduces the humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 infection
Description
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, these data showed that elevated BMI is associated with an impaired humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The impairment of infection-induced immunity in individuals with a BMI ≥ 25 kg m^(-2) suggests an added
Development of a scalable single process for producing SARS-CoV-2 RBD monomer and dimer vaccine antigens
Description
We have developed a single process for producing two key COVID-19 vaccine antigens: SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) monomer and dimer. These antigens are featured in various COVID-19 vaccine formats, including SOBERANA 01 and the licensed
Challenges for medical students in applying ethical principles to allocate life-saving medical devices during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study
Description
CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the importance of improving ethical reasoning under time constraints using virtual platforms. More than seventy percent of medical students identified justice as the predominant principle in allocating limited
