Preventing Urban Firearm Homicides during COVID-19: Preliminary Results from Three Cities with the Advance Peace Program

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

The years 2020-2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic witnessed increases in firearm violence in many cities across the USA. We present data from Sacramento, Stockton, and Richmond, California that suggests firearm homicides during the pandemic did not increase in all communities or disproportionately burden the African American community. More specifically, we found that in these cities, there was a 5-52% decrease in gun homicides during the 2020/2021 period compared to the 2018/2019 period for...

SARS-CoV-2 Seroconversion in Response to Infection and Vaccination: a Time Series Local Study in Brazil

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

The investigation of antibodies raised against different severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) antigens can help to determine the extent of previous SARS-CoV-2 infections in the population and track the humoral response to vaccination. Therefore, serological surveys can provide key information to better manage the pandemic and/or to implement the most effective vaccination program. Here we describe a time series anti-nucleocapsid, anti-spike IgG serological survey analysis...

Interactive tool for clustering and forecasting patterns of Taiwan COVID-19 spread

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

The COVID-19 data analysis is essential for policymakers to analyze the outbreak and manage the containment. Many approaches based on traditional time series clustering and forecasting methods, such as hierarchical clustering and exponential smoothing, have been proposed to cluster and forecast the COVID-19 data. However, most of these methods do not scale up with the high volume of cases. Moreover, the interactive nature of the application demands further critically complex yet compelling...

Hazardous Shortcuts in Standard Binding Free Energy Calculations

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

Calculating the standard binding free energies of protein-protein and protein-ligand complexes from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent is a problem of central importance in computational biophysics. A rigorous strategy for carrying out such calculations is the so-called "geometrical route". In this method, two molecular objects are progressively separated from one another in the presence of orientational and conformational restraints serving to control the change in...

Regeneration of Capto™ Core 700 resin through high throughput and laboratory scale studies and impact on production of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

During the development of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, raw materials shortages, including chromatography resins, necessitated the determination of a cleaning in place (CIP) strategy for a multimodal core-shell resin both rapidly and efficiently. Here, we describe the deployment of high throughput (HT) techniques to screen CIP conditions for cleaning Capto™ Core 700 resin exposed to clarified cell culture harvest of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate...

Relationship Between Optimism-Pessimism Levels of Mothers and Anxiety Levels of Children in Turkey During COVID-19 Pandemic

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that mental health of children has been adversely affected during the pandemic and this has important implications for designing and implementing interventions aimed at reducing anxiety levels of children and determining protective and risk factors associated with anxiety in the face of adversity.

The nervous system during COVID-19: Caught in the crossfire<sup></sup>

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID)-19, has become a persistent global health threat. Individuals who are symptomatic for COVID-19 frequently exhibit respiratory illness, which is often accompanied by neurological symptoms of anosmia and fatigue. Mounting clinical data also indicate that many COVID-19 patients display long-term neurological disorders postinfection such as cognitive decline, which emphasizes the need to further elucidate the effects of COVID-19 on the...

‘It was the worst possible timing’: the response of UK Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships to Covid-19

Di |2022-06-30T01:00:00+02:00Giugno 30th, 2022|Categorie: Coronavirus PubMed|

Covid-19 has altered medical education worldwide. Given recent events, UK Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs), which are relatively new innovations, may have changed in structure and delivery, or may have demonstrated resilience. Collating the responses and experiences of UK institutions may yield transferrable recommendations for institutions wishing to develop sustainable LICs. A mixed-methods survey concerning LIC prevalence, variety, and experiences of responses to Covid-19 was...
