BACKGROUND: Previous comparative analyses of people admitted to hospital for COVID-19 versus influenza evaluated the risk of death, hospital readmission, and a narrow set of health outcomes up to 6 months following infection. We aimed to do a
The Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) and the College of Biochemists of Sri Lanka (CBSL) organized a virtual education symposium in 2021 funded by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular
The role of housing as a social driver of health is well-established, with stable housing being an important factor in reducing health inequities. During developmentally critical periods such as young adulthood, unstable housing and related social
CONCLUSION: Increased use of thoracic CT during the COVID-19 pandemic probably enabled improved detection of ITNs. In this large-scale study, the prevalence of thyroid nodules reported with thoracic CT was 3.82%, while thyroid cancer was detected in
EG.5.1 is a subvariant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron XBB variant that is rapidly increasing in prevalence worldwide. However, the pathogenicity, transmissibility, and immune evasion properties of isolates
Energetic local frustration offers a biophysical perspective to interpret the effects of sequence variability on protein families. Here we present a methodology to analyze local frustration patterns within protein families and superfamilies that
CONCLUSIONS: Comparison of the OHRQoL after rehabilitation with prostheses among patients with cancer and post COVID-19 associated mucormycosis showed that the OHRQoL scores, although much higher among patients with mucormycosis before rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: This study showed a significant increase in the incidence rate of CIN2/CIN3 lesions after the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings may be attributed to the temporary suspension of follow-up programs during the pandemic, although the study does
CONCLUSIONS: The LumiraDx™ SARS-CoV-2 & influenza A/B assay had moderate sensitivity for SARS-CoV-2 in symptomatic patients in primary care, with lower performance with high rtRT-PCR Ct. Negative results in this patient group cannot definitively rule
