Utilization of human ACE2 allowed several bat coronaviruses (CoVs), including the causative agent of COVID-19, to infect humans directly or via intermediate hosts. However, the determinants of species-specific differences in ACE2 usage and the

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. As of September 2023, there have been over 770 million confirmed cases of COVID-19

CONCLUSIONS: This measure can be used within high-income countries, particularly member countries within the OECD already in support of using tools to collect, publish and compare statistics. Our measure should be used by researchers and policy

The continued viral evolution results in the emergence of various SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as delta or omicron, that are partially resistant to current vaccines and antiviral medicines, posing an increased risk to global public health and raising

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and its severity is linked to the adverse outcomes of multiorgan involvement. We attempted to assess the clinical outcomes and determinants of mortality in patients admitted

INTRODUCTION: Amid the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), racially and economically marginalized communities experienced a disproportionate burden of disease and social consequences (e.g., unemployment, increased exposure). This study seeks

Influenza and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination are recommended in both solid organ transplant (SOT) candidates and recipients. In Puglia, Southern Italy, an active vaccination offer program has been activated targeting these patients

We report the application of ancestral sequence reconstruction on coronavirus spike protein, resulting in stable and highly soluble ancestral scaffold antigens (AnSAs). The AnSAs interact with plasma of patients recovered from COVID-19 but do not

CONCLUSIONS: Elevated D-dimer correlated significantly with severity of disease and LOS, while prolonged PT only correlated with disease severity. Our data suggest that D-dimer at presentation may predict a pediatric patient's need for ICU care or

Background: A sampling platform (or table) set at the patient's side in a zero-exposure screening center (booth) might be used for specimen collection during public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, repeated sanitization causes
