One of the many challenges facing doctors in training during the COVID-19 pandemic was a significant reduction in postgraduate medical education in the form of formal teaching. Consequently, we sought to provide a blended and asynchronous teaching
Health economics seek to provide the information which can contribute to the rational decision making, towards the appropriate allocation of scarce healthcare resources. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone has recognized that healthcare resource
CONCLUSION: The data presented shows a decrease in annual RBC concentrate sales over an 11-year period and no further change over the past 2 years. A weekly monitoring of blood components detects acute problems in RBC provision and supply. Close
Mask wearing and bleach disinfectants became commonplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bleach generates toxic species including hypochlorous acid (HOCl), chlorine (Cl(2)), and chloramines. Their reaction with organic species can generate additional
Emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 possess mutations that prevent antibody therapeutics from maintaining anti-viral binding and neutralizing efficacy. Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) shown to neutralize Wuhan-Hu-1 SARS-CoV-2 (ancestral) strain have reduced
BACKGROUND: In late 2022, the SARS-CoV-2 omicron (B.1.1.529) BA.5 sublineage accounted for most of the sequenced viral genomes worldwide. Bivalent mRNA vaccines contain an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain component plus an updated component of the omicron
CONCLUSIONS: WBTs for CFH collection are a promising application of health information technology, resulting in more comprehensive CFH and a significantly greater percentage of participants completing genetic counseling and testing.
CONCLUSIONS: Genome sequencing, a key strategy in genomic surveillance systems, helps to detect and monitor the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, monitor the viral evolution of SARS-CoV-2, identify new variants for disease prevention, control, and
