CONCLUSION: Acute stroke hospitalizations significantly decreased per month during the 1st wave of COVID-19, with a delayed effect on the transition from AS to IRF care.

Literature review suggests that studies on biomedical waste generation and disposal behaviors in North America are limited. Given the infectious nature of the materials, effective biomedical waste management is vital to the public health and safety

For the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, emergence of variants accumulating immune-escape mutations remains a major concern. We analyzed the anti-variant (n = 10) neutralization activity of sera from COVID-19 patients infected with Wuhan (B.1), Kappa

D-dimers represent the breakdown products of fibrin. Thus, elevated plasma D-dimers will arise following a thrombotic event, such as a deep vein thrombosis or a pulmonary embolism, and therefore, a nonelevated D-dimer is used to effectively exclude

CONCLUSION: Very elderly COVID-19 patients have a high risk for mortality. The Barthel index, SCr, WBC count, D-dimer level, and corticosteroid use were independently associated with mortality.

CONCLUSIONS: Fibrin sheath formation around indwelling ECMO cannulae is an unresearched complication of ECMO cannulation. We would recommend an individualized approach to the management of these fibrin sheaths and have provided three examples of

The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants and their respective phenotypes represents an important set of tools to understand basic coronavirus biology as well as the public health implications of individual mutations in variants of concern. While

With burgeoning human disease genetic associations and single-cell genomic atlases covering a range of tissues, there are unprecedented opportunities to systematically gain insights into the mechanisms of disease-causal variation. However, sparsity
