including time savings (both during sampling and processing), cost savings and most importantly, ease of distribution and application—which can be done basically anywhere, including schools. This can help overcome COVID testing disparities for children and adolescents in medically...
Vaccination is a crucial measure to control the scale of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and mitigate the severity of COVID-19. To date, 38 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are in early use or have been approved for application in the general population1. However, the protective effect of the various ...
MDfrom the Harvard School of Public Health. As a major advocate for at-home, rapid testing, Dr. Mina explains how a $1 test could potentially curb COVID-19 spread in the United States and worldwide. In addition, he describes current barriers to making at-home rapid ...
Because of COVID, there were some problems with Dài-Gòu. And I was also trying to adjust my body status. I had less sex. So, I didn’t see there was a need for me to continue using it (PrEP). (GD19, 27 yrs, former PrEP user, PrEP source: Dài-Gòu). All of these obstacl...
(~1000 tests per day per testing system). The SPOT system has great potential to enable rapid and low-cost test-trace-isolate measures with minimal financial investment or training requirements, expanding the availability of testing and serving as a key tool to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. By...
Therefore, rapid, facile, cost-effective and accessible detections for large-scale screening, in-field testing and point-of-care diagnosis of the disease are of great importance and urgency for quickly controlling the highly contagious and rapid spread of COVID-19. In this work, we first review...
Correlation coefficients were determined using Pearson correlation (r) or Spearman correlation depending on if the normality test was accepted or rejected. 3. Results and discussion The load of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in wastewater can be used to follow the trajectory of COVID-19 infections in the...
To describe demographic characteristics and health-related social needs of families who accessed maternal-infant care through a mobile medical clinic (MMC) during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore feasibility, acceptability, perceived benefits, and barriers to care. Methods In this mixed-methods ob...
we developed Saliva-Dry LAMP, a rapid, near-patient saliva test for COVID-19 that uses lyophilized dual-target reverse transcriptase-loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) with fluorometric detection by the naked-eye11. This test can be performed on a portable and low-cost device that...
Extensive testing is essential to break the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, which causes the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we present a CRISPR-based diagnostic assay that is robust to viral genome mutations and temperature, produces results fast, can be a
