CONCLUSION: More than 70% of Kilifi residents and 90% of Nairobi residents were seropositive for anti-S IgG by the end of 2022. There is a potential immunity gap in rural Kenya; implementation of interventions to improve COVID-19 vaccine uptake among

CONCLUSION: A number of models were used to assess the potential impact of disruptions to essential health services on various outcomes. There is a need for collaboration among stakeholders to enhance the usefulness of any modelling. Future studies

CONCLUSION: Households in our setting experienced a lower 7-day attack rate than a recent meta-analysis indicated as the global average (23%-43% depending on variant), and infection is mostly asymptomatic in our setting.

Effective disinfection of contaminated surfaces is essential for preventing the transmission of pathogens. In this study, we investigated the UV irradiance and wavelength distribution of a 222-nm ultraviolet C (UVC) excimer lamp and its disinfection

CONCLUSION: Sequential SGBs for COVID-19-associated OD were safe and associated with modest improvements in subjective olfaction, odor identification, and olfactory-specific QoL. A placebo-controlled trial is warranted to determine the efficacy of

CONCLUSION: The proposed method is a promising technique for multi-parametric mapping and has potential use in patients with stroke.

BACKGROUND Patients with COVID-19 undergoing emergency or complex surgical procedures are at increased risk of developing perioperative complications. CytoSorb is a blood purification therapy used to remove circulating cytokines in conditions of

CONCLUSIONS: In this multicentre COVID-19 cohort, univariable admission factors that could indicate pulmonary thromboembolism were male sex, high neutrophil count and abnormal CXR with a greater CXR zonal severity score. The accuracy levels of

CONCLUSIONS: We effectively created a quality assurance tool for ED ICU boarders that ensures relevant and vital information is relayed between ED teams. Our analysis demonstrated that all relevant information is only sometimes present in the hand
