BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nonurgent surgeries were delayed to preserve capacity for patients admitted with COVID-19; surgeons were challenged personally and professionally during this time. We aimed to describe the impact of delays to

CONCLUSION: Despite there being no change in contraceptive methods compared to the pre-pandemic period, an increase in the number of unintended pregnancies, abortions and illegal abortions was observed. This may be indicative of an unmet need for

CONCLUSIONS: The oxygenation stretch index, which combines P(aO(2)) /F(IO(2)) and ΔP, is associated with mortality and may be useful to predict clinical outcomes in COVID-19 ARDS.

CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight key factors to consider for improving remote workers' physical and mental wellbeing and decrease their LBP burden.

The human gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem made of trillions of microorganisms. The composition can be affected by diet, metabolism, age, geography, stress, seasons, temperature, sleep, and medications. The increasing evidence about the

Escape mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 are a major reason for Omicron breakthrough infections. After basal vaccination only very low titers of Omicron neutralizing antibodies are present. However, booster vaccinations induce higher

BACKGROUND: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) provide essential evidence to inform practice, but the many necessary steps result in lengthy times to initiation, which is problematic in the case of rapidly emerging infections such as COVID-19. This

With the SARS-CoV-2 mutations evolving and prompt of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, no information is available on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status in Chinese patients with lung cancer. An electronic questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics

The historically dominant SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant and the currently dominant Omicron variants carry a T492I substitution within the non-structural protein 4 (NSP4). Based on in silico analyses, we hypothesized that the T492I mutation increases viral
