CONCLUSION: During the COVID-19 pandemic period, we observed a significant increase in maternal morbidities, exclusive breastfeeding, and NICU admissions in infants born at ≥35 weeks gestation. The increase in NICU admission during the COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: High leukocyte count, low platelet count, high NLR, high CRP level, and high D-dimer on admission predicted mortality of COVID-19 patients. In addition, CRP was found to be the most dominant predicting factor of mortality in moderate
CONCLUSION: Reporting their views before the pandemic, barely more than half of the professionals surveyed saw self-care as fundamentally important to the individuals they served. This changed to 86% as a result of the pandemic. Patient/client
Most life activities in organisms are regulated through protein complexes, which are mainly controlled via Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs). Discovering new interactions between proteins and revealing their biological functions are of great
Access to accurate viral genomes is important to downstream data analysis. Third-generation sequencing (TGS) has recently become a popular platform for virus sequencing because of its long read length. However, its per-base error rate, which is
It is well recognized that COVID-19 lockdowns impacted human interactions with natural ecosystems. One example is recreational fishing, which, in developed countries, involves approximately 10% of people. Fishing licence sales and observations at
