Thousands of medical staff have been infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with hundreds of deaths reported. Such loss could be prevented if there were a serologic assay for SARS-CoV-2–specific antibodies for serological surveillance of its infection at the ...
Infants who were moribund, had congenital conditions that could contribute to the encephalopathy or had severe cardio-respiratory instability were excluded. Predictive values of the Thompson HIE score, modified Sarnat encephalopathy grade (MSEG) and specific individual signs at age 3–5 hours were ...
However, as a result of positive clinical experience with azithromycin used alone during the first few days of the flu-like illness caused by this coronavirus, we recommend formal clinical trials using azithromycin early in the course of a COVID-19 infection. There is one clinical trial ...
There is a lack of validated tools to assess potential disease progression and hospitalisation decisions in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a suspected infection. This study aimed to identify suitable blood biomarkers (MR-proADM
The first signs of a subsequent peak were in late February/early March. The use of masks has changed notably since January 2020, when public use was absent in the US, to July 2020 when most states required their use in public in some settings. There has been no federal mandate in this...
We evaluated a rapid antigen test against SARS-CoV-2 virus (Roche-SD Biosensor; RSDB-RAT) in children and adults with respiratory symptoms compared to those with nonrespiratory symptoms or asymptomatic. Also the performance of RSDB-RAT with respect to the duration of respiratory symptoms was asses...
Reduction of salivary volume and subsequent loss of the antibacterial properties of saliva may accelerate infection, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. Ocular complaints by SS patients include sensations of itching, grittiness, soreness, and dryness, despite the eyes having a normal appearance. ...
However, we could not conclude that the shorter surgical time in the SHG would contribute to a decrease in the surgical site infection rate because we did not evaluate the wound after 24 h postoperatively. Therefore, further studies are warranted. The use of contraceptive drugs is associated ...
X-rays can reveal the initial signs of pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma. Doctors useimaging scansto see where possibly cancerous fluids, tumors, or masses have formed within the body. These tests are often used early in the diagnostic process to rule out other conditions. ...
