CONCLUSION: We find that most respondents would have been willing to pay for faster access to COVID vaccines (jumping the queue), suggesting welfare gains from quicker access to these vaccines. This is an important result in light of potential future
A 21-year-old man on hemodialysis was hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia. After admission, he had a persistent high fever and developed erythema induratum on his extremities. Laboratory tests conducted 25 days after onset showed markedly increased
CONCLUSIONS: A single heterologous Ad26.COV2.S booster dose after two BBIBP-CorV doses was well tolerated and induced robust humoral and cell-mediated immune responses measured at day 28 in both interval groups.
The mechanistic factors hypothesized to be key drivers for the loss of infectivity of viruses in the aerosol phase often remain speculative. Using a next-generation bioaerosol technology, we report measurements of the aero-stability of several SARS
CONCLUSIONS: While Canadian HCW did not report worse mental health than demographically similar peers, mental health supports are needed for HCW providing direct patient care.
Monitoring of viral signal in wastewater is considered a useful tool for monitoring the burden of COVID-19, especially during times of limited availability in testing. Studies have shown that COVID-19 hospitalizations are highly correlated with
CONCLUSION: ECMO therapy may be associated with an up to a three-fold increase in ICU mortality and 3-month mortality compared to MVA despite the facilitation of lung-protective ventilation settings in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. We
CONCLUSION: Besides uncovering the concerns shared by these workers, we identified helpful coping strategies, resilience factors and certain occupational adaptations, which have implications for future pandemic planning and readiness.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan province in China in late 2019. Around 15% of patients that develop severe acute respiratory syndrome from COVID-19 also develop severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Since the pandemic's start
