To describe the immunological responses and clinical outcome of coronavirus (SARS) infected healthcare workers (HCW) who had been administered with convalescent plasma as a treatment.Convalescent (500 mL) was obtained from each three SARS patients transfused into HCW. Donors were blood type O seronegative for hepatitis B C, HIV, syphilis human T-cell lymphotropic virus types I II (HTLV-I -II). Serum antibody (IgG) titre >640. Apharesis performed CS 3000 plus cell separator followed by...

This was a preliminary study on ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation for SARS-CoV-2-contaminated hospital environments. Forty-eight locations were tested SARS-CoV-2 using RT-PCR (33.3% contamination rate). After series dosages of 222-nm UVC irradiation, samples from the surfaces negative at 15 s 2 cm length (fluence: 81 mJ/cm2).
Dietary supplements containing botanical forms of caffeine and ephedra alkaloids have been widely promoted used in the U.S. for weight loss athletic enhancement despite a lack adequate research on pharmacology these stimulants. In order to analyze dietary perform human pharmacokinetic studies, an analytical approach with good precision accuracy was needed sufficient sensitivity detect very low levels alkaloids. A liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) tandem...
Herein, we report that nosocomial infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may be mitigated by using surgical masks and closed looped ventilation for both non-critical critical patients. These preventive measures resulted in no viral contamination surfaces negative pressure environments.
