In the context of the COVID-19, inflammation emerges as a prominent characteristic. C-reactive protein (CRP) serves as a commonly employed marker for the evaluation of inflammation. This study aimed to examine the correlation between CRP levels and
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that our COVID-19 vaccine candidate drove HNEpCs into immunologically competent cells that not only exerted anti-viral innate immune responses but also potently induced MoDCs maturation.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with COVID-19 who were followed up on IMV had a high incidence of PI, and prolonged ICU stays and intubations duration as well as low albumin and hemoglobin levels increased the occurrence of PI. Hence, it is recommended that
INTRODUCTION: Carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are a major threat to global health and hospital-onset CRE infections have risen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Novel antimicrobials are now available for the treatment of CRE infections. There
For our special issue on stress, we asked scientists about recovering from the stress of the pandemic, including some who shared insights with us in mid-2020. They discuss the importance of teamwork, reassessing priorities, and the added stresses of
Hematologic malignancies and chemotherapy are risk factors for COVID-19 progression and mortality. Immunocompromised hosts, particularly those with severe B-cell depletion, can shed viable viruses for extended periods, which can lead to persistent
CONCLUSIONS: A growing body of evidence has suggested that radiation represents a double-edged sword, not only for cancer, but also for non-cancer diseases. At present, clinical evidence has shown some beneficial effects of radiotherapy for
Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus that mainly causes diarrhea and death in suckling piglets and also has the potential for cross-species transmission, threatening public health. However, there is still no
