positive results […] do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.” Remarkably, in the instruction manuals of PCR tests we can also read that they are not intended as a diagn...
Test performance We utilized the training setting described in Hyperparameter settings for training section to train the models. The results are summarized in Table 1 and are compared with those from the current most advanced methods. Random, Bit-S and Bit-M are the models adopted in our labora...
3. Results 3.1. Space-time clusters of COVID-19 The prospective space-time Poisson scan statistic detected no significant clusters for the first 38 days of analysis. Therefore, the first cluster for the contiguous U.S. was identified in the Pacific Northwest region on March 1st, 2020 (Fig....
we note that there is a good portion of the paper that needed to perform data augmentation as a way to artificially increase the number of samples, especially for the COVID-19 classes. This type of process can lead to an overfitting set of results, meaning that the same samples can be ...
During COVID-19, society is like a mirror. Everyone needs to be recognized by the Other. Man’s desire is endowed meaning by Other’s desire. In the situation of COVID-19 infection, anxiety of lack results in a strong sense of stigma in COVID-19 patients’ mind. The shame of identit...

The accuracy of the method with the usage of pre-extracted RNA from 40 clinical samples was measured to be 93.8% in comparison with RT-qPCR results. However, the results obtained from the ITP based RNA extraction are less reliable, 3 out of 4 positive samples were detected, thus resulting ...

1. On/Go At-Home Covid-19 Rapid Self-Test The On/Go Covid-19 Antigen Home Test uses a shallow nasal swab that you can administer on yourself, with results in just 15 minutes. The company says its test detects the antigen protein of all known major Covid-19 variants, including o...
For significant results, we used the MR-Egger intercept test, Cochran Q heterogeneity test, and MR-PRESSO test to evaluate potential IV violations, and Causal Analysis Using Summary Effect estimates (CAUSE)26 to estimate horizontal pleiotropy. We also performed leave-one-out analyses to examine ...
