Respiratory viral infections, such as SARS-CoV-2 or influenza, can lead to impaired mucociliary clearance in the bronchial tree due to increased mucus viscosity and its hyper-secretion. We develop in this work a mathematical model to study the
The propagation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is constantly paralyzing our healthcare systems. In addition to the pressure of antibiotic selection, the roles of non-antibiotic compounds in disseminating antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are a
CONCLUSIONS: Community risk assessment plays an important role in COVID-19 management on college settings. Improving the ability of individuals to rapidly and conservatively respond to changes in community disease levels may help assist in self
The first target of the Convention for Biological Diversity (Aichi target 1) was to increase public awareness towards the values of biodiversity and actions needed to conserve it - a key prerequisite for other conservation targets. Monitoring success
We rely on the ESG ratings assigned by four distinct agencies (MSCI, Refinitiv, Robeco, and Sustainalytics) to study the link between ESG scores and firms' cost of debt financing during the Covid-19 pandemic. We document the existence of a
The world has recently been plagued by a new coronavirus infection called SARS-CoV-2. This virus may lead to severe acute respiratory syndrome followed by multiple organ failure. SARS-CoV-2 has approximately 80-90% genetic similarity to SARS-CoV
Propagation of respiratory particles, potentially containing viable viruses, plays a significant role in the transmission of respiratory diseases (e.g., COVID-19) from infected people. Particles are produced in the upper respiratory system and exit
A 17-year-old boy presented during the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2021 with intractable fevers and hemodynamic instability with early gastrointestinal disturbances, resembling features of the pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally
