The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has prompted great interest in novel broad-spectrum antivirals, including perylene-related compounds. In the present study, we
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the urgent need for new treatments for coronavirus infections. Nucleoside analogs were successfully used to inhibit replication of some viruses through the incorporation into the growing DNA or RNA chain. However, the
The unique challenges posed by the COVID vaccination continue to affect multiple healthcare specialties. Although short-term studies have shown that COVID-19 vaccines are both safe and effective, reports of side effects continue to emerge
Aim: To assess the association serum levels of selenium (Se) and copper (Cu) with symptoms and IgG immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Patients & methods/materials: Blood samples and nasopharyngeal swabs were obtained from 126 COVID-19 patients with mild
Zoonotic coronaviruses (CoVs) caused major human outbreaks in the last two decades. One of the biggest challenges during future CoV disease is ensuring rapid detection and diagnosis at the early phase of a zoonotic event, and active surveillance to
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic was caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses transmitted mainly through exposure to airborne respiratory droplets and aerosols carrying the virus.
SARS-CoV-2 has posed implications for personal protective equipment supply. In this literature review we examine if elastomeric facepiece respirators (EFRs) are effective substitutes for N95 respirators through comparing their functionality and cost
CONCLUSION: The majority of participants perceived medium risk perception and subjective norms related to Mpox. Furthermore, we observed a significant association between the study parameters and the sociodemographic characteristics of our study
