Pathogens escape host defenses by T-cell epitope mutation or deletion (immune escape) and by simulating the appearance of human T cell epitopes (immune camouflage). We identified a highly conserved, human-like T cell epitope in non-structural protein
CONCLUSIONS: The study reveals the difficulties physicians face when caring for dying incarcerated patients. Provider-patient relationships are hardly continuous. The findings represent a starting point for further research. Support from the medical
CONCLUSIONS: Point-of-care testing should be positioned upstream close to homes and island populations that have prolonged rescue time contours. Geospatially optimized point-of-need diagnostics and distributed prehospital testing have high potential
There is an urgent need for stronger protection from aerosol-transmissible diseases in healthcare settings-for workers, patients, volunteers, and visitors. Concerned that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Healthcare Infection
CONCLUSIONS: In pregnant people with prior SARS-CoV-2, vaccination before delivery provided more durable maternally-derived antibody responses than infection alone in infants through 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS: Rates of RT and survival after RT remained consistent during the pandemic. Despite comparable RT frequency, packed red blood cells and platelet transfusions were reduced, likely reflecting resource expenditure minimization during the
This study aimed to analyze the trends and factors influencing the number of ophthalmic surgeries in Japan using the open data from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan published by the Ministry of
COVID-19 vaccines were originally authorized in the United States in December 2020 on the basis of safety, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, real-world vaccine effectiveness (VE) data are
