Objective We sought to explore the prevalence and immediate clinical implications of acute myocardial injury in a cohort patients with COVID-19 region China where medical resources are less stressed than Wuhan (the epicentre pandemic). Methods prospectively assessed records, laboratory results, chest CT images use medication presenting two designated covid-19 treatment centres Sichuan, China. Outcomes interest included death, admission an intensive care unit (ICU), need for mechanical...
Much remains unknown about the transmission dynamics of COVID-19. How severity index case and timing exposure is associated with disease in close contacts patients COVID-19 clinical presentation those developing not well elucidated.To investigate association between development among to evaluate whether who develop COVID-19.This study used a large, population-based cohort 730 individuals (index patients) received diagnosis Zhejiang Province, China, from January 8 July 30, 2020, along contact...
Abstract Aims We estimated the association between outdoor light at night residence and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) within a prospective cohort older adults in Hong Kong. Methods results Over median 11 years follow-up, we identified 3772 incident CHD hospitalizations 1695 deaths. Annual levels participants’ residential addresses were using time-varying satellite data for composite persistent night-time illumination ∼1 km2 scale. used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate...
Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) asymptomatic cases are hard to identify, impeding transmissibility estimation. The value of COVID-19 is worth further elucidation for key assumptions in modelling studies. Through a population-based surveillance network, we collected data on 1342 confirmed with 90-days follow-up all cases. An age-stratified compartmental model containing contact information was built estimate the symptomatic and difference case depended age most distinct...
The effect of norovirus dose on outcomes such as virus shedding and symptoms after initial infection is not well understood. We performed a secondary analysis human challenge study by using Bayesian mixed-effects models. As the increased from 4.8 to 4,800 reverse transcription PCR units, total amount shed in feces 4.5 × 10
Abstract Background Older adults often mount a weak immune response to standard inactivated influenza vaccines. To induce stronger and better protection, high-dose (HD) version of the Fluzone vaccine is recommended for individuals >65 years age. While immunogenicity protection against strain has been shown, it not known if HD also induces robust antibody heterologous strains. Methods We fit bayesian multilevel regression models hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) data from an cohort...
The protective effects of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2-associated semen impairment remain underexplored. We investigated associations between BBIBP-CorV vaccination and the quality in males recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. This single-center retrospective cohort study included 1,496 infection at a tertiary hospital Urumqi, China (February-May 2023). Participants were categorized into long-term short-term groups based on interval collection their most recent assessed...
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental impact on healthcare system. Patients with kidney failure and related disease are notably vulnerable to pandemic. However, it remains unclear how mortality trends associated have evolved over past three years. In this study, we investigated temporal in excess failure-related during first years United States. We aim estimate time-varying mortality, which is defined as difference between observed expected predicted by Poisson log-linear...
Background Previous study revealed that social isolation and loneliness are associated with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the long-term effects of on population T2DM have not been known. This aims to evaluate potential associations all-cause cause-specific mortality in individuals T2DM. Methods The prospective cohort included 26 549 UK adults diagnosed at baseline. Social were evaluated through a self-reported questionnaire. Mortality data was obtained from National...
Abstract Background Although smoking is considered the primary cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there a growing realization that may be important secondary risk factors. Tuberculosis lead to lung impairment; however, whether residual damage results in clinically significant, long-term outcomes, independent smoking, has not been well studied. We aimed investigate association between tuberculosis and subsequent development COPD using large, population-based cohort study....
In early 2025, Sudan virus (SUDV) caused an self-limited outbreak in Uganda. We preliminarily assessed the transmission characteristics of disease, estimating mean serial interval 13.7 days (95% CrI: 12.2, 15.8), and secondary attack rate 17.8%, we found a high heterogeneity with 6.1% 3.3, 12.5) cases generated 80% all events. Timely continuous monitoring SUDV circulation, real-time risk assessment were required at local community level.
Emerging studies examined the associations of particulate matter constituents with nonaccidental and cardiorespiratory diseases, but few have investigated more specific causes diseases or other system especially in Asia. We estimated association between respirable (PM10) a spectrum deaths using quasi-Poisson time-series model Hong Kong. Positive were identified cause-specific elemental carbon, organic carbon (OC), nitrate, potassium ion (K+), only for OC K+ robust two-constituent models...
Maternal exposure to ozone (O3) may cause systemic inflammation and oxidative stress contribute fetal growth restriction. We sought estimate the association between maternal O3 term birth weight small for gestational age (SGA) in United States (US).We conducted a nationwide study including 2,179,040 live singleton births that occurred across 453 populous counties contiguous US 2002. Daily county-level concentrations of data were estimated using Bayesian fusion model. used linear regression...
Most countries are dependent on nonpharmaceutical public health interventions such as social distancing, contact tracing, and case isolation to mitigate COVID-19 spread until medicines or vaccines widely available. Minimal research has been performed the independent combined impact of each these based empirical data.We obtained data from all confirmed cases January 7th February 22nd 2020 in Zhejiang Province, China, fit an age-stratified compartmental model using human information before...
As COVID-19 continues to spread, public health interventions are crucial minimize its impact. The most desirable goal is drive the pathogen quickly extinction. This generally involves applying as strongly possible, which worked for SARS, but so far has failed COVID-19. If fast eradication not achievable, next best delay spread and cases burden on care system until suitable drugs or vaccines available. suppression approach also calls strong interventions, potentially applied a long time.
Abstract Pre-existing health conditions may exacerbate the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to estimate case-fatality rate (CFR) and ratios (RR) for patients with hypertension (HBP) diabetes mellitus (DM) in New York state. obtained age-specific number COVID-19 confirmed cases deaths from public reports provided by State Department Health, prevalence HBP DM Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System 2017. calculated CFR RR based on reported comorbidity divided...
A novel flexible magnetoelastic biosensor based on PDMS/FeSiB/QDs was proposed to detect the P72 protein of African swine fever virus. The assay shows high sensitivity, stability and selectivity for ASFV detection.
