The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants including the Delta and Omicron along with waning vaccine-induced immunity over time contributed to increased rates breakthrough infection specifically among healthcare workers (HCWs). genomic surveillance is an important tool for timely detection characterization circulating as well monitoring new strains. Our study first national HCWs in Lebanon.
In this study, we characterize the distribution of airborne viruses (influenza A/B) in hospital rooms patients with confirmed infections. Concurrently, monitored fine particulate matter (PM2.5 & PM10) and several physical parameters including room air exchange rate, temperature, relative humidity to identify corresponding correlations virus transport removal determinants. The results continue raise concerns about indoor quality (IAQ) healthcare facilities potential exposure patients, staff...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has emphasized urgent need for accurate and readily available diagnostic tools. Conventional methods, such as reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), are often labor-intensive time-consuming, which highlights necessity rapid point-of-care solutions. This study introduces an innovative, low-cost, highly sensitive platform swift detection. Our utilizes mass sensing properties of thickness shear mode...
In this paper, a highly sensitive portable multiband resonator is employed as sensor to instantaneously detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus. At its core, leverages interaction between resonating electromagnetic waves and sample under test extract resulting changes in corresponding scattering parameters. Once these are recorded, machine learning data analytics algorithms applied correlate with or absence virus sample. The proposed fabricated validated pre-clinical clinical settings....
Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is associated with significant global morbidity and mortality, especially among children under five years of age. Viruses are well established as etiologic agents since they the most common pathogens that contribute to disease burden in developing countries. Despite advances molecular diagnosis, a substantial proportion AGE etiology remain unresolved. We implemented viral metagenomics pipeline determine potential age Qatar undiagnosed etiology. Following enriching...
