Pandemics greatly affect transportation, economic and household activities and their associated air pollutant emissions. In less affluent regions, household energy use is often the dominant pollution source and is sensitive to the affluence change
Outbreaks are complex multi-scale processes that are impacted not only by cellular dynamics and the ability of pathogens to effectively reproduce and spread, but also by population-level dynamics and the effectiveness of mitigation measures. A timely
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a heavy toll in people's life all over the world. Not only it effected the physical aspect of normal life, it also affected the day to day life in every country. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of
CONCLUSION: This study was unique in simultaneously running a structured in situ protocol across numerous diverse institutions during a global pandemic. This initiative found similar categories of threats across sites, and the protocol developed
COVID-19 can induce lung inflammation, and inflammatory factors play an essential role in its pathogenesis. This inflammation can be controlled to a great extent by microRNAs(miRs). This study evaluated miR-146a-5p expression levels in the serum of
CONCLUSIONS: There were large decreases in the utilization of PCI during COVID-19, with the percentage of decrease being highly sensitive to patient acuity. By the second quarter of 2021, prepandemic volumes were nearly restored for all patient
CONCLUSIONS: Few evaluations rigorously evaluated the effect of health systems interventions on improving health services and outcomes. Results will inform upscaling successful intervention components, and strategies to mitigate the effect of COVID
The insertion/deletion (indel) mutation profiles of SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Omicron, remain unclear. We compared whole-genome sequences from various lineages and used preserved indels to infer the ancestral relationships between different
CONCLUSIONS: The high prevalence of anxiety and depression recorded among HCP during the pandemic suggests that mental health intervention and support are necessary to ensure the psychological well-being of HCP.
