In comparison, a single intranasal dose of ChAd-SARS-CoV-2-S induced high levels of neutralizing antibody and anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin A (IgA) and conferred virtually complete protection against infection in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts in mice expressing hACE2 receptor after...
In subject area:Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of upper and lower motor neurons resulting in gradual paralysis, muscle atrophy, and respiratory failure. ...
Thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) is associated with a knowledge gap regarding its mechanisms in lung protection and reduction of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Driving pressure (ΔP), an alternative indicator of alveolar strain, is closely linked to reduced PPCs with lower ΔP value...
The rest of the paper is structured as follows: Section2and Sect.3present the proposed psychophysiological estimation method and its experimental evaluation, respectively. In particular, the PP estimation approach, the experimental setup, and the protocol of the robot-aided rehabilitation session are pr...
The upper airway is an important site of infection, but immune memory in the human upper airway is poorly understood, with implications for COVID-19 and many other human diseases1,2,3,4. Here we demonstrate that nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs can be used to obtain insights into these challen...
d) lower body Chambers of the Heart The human heart is made up of four different chambers: two atria (right and left) and two ventricles (right and left). The atria both function in receiving blood that is returning from different places in the body. The ventricl...
age ranges (preschoolers vs adults), populations (both healthy and unhealthy participants), types of respiratory tract infections (aggregating upper and lower, bacterial and viral respiratory tract infections), outcome measurement (severity, duration, number) and laboratory confirmation of respiratory tract...

Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), also known as common cold, is the most frequently experienced disease among humans. • The acute URTI can cause physical discomfort and high health care costs but there are no universally accepted therapies. ...
Although studies and applications of vitamin D and 1α, 25 (OH)2 vitamin D3 derivatives have been accomplished, the application of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OHD) has not been advanced. Regarding the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and lower limb muscle strength, Bischoff...
