CONCLUSION: Over time, a state of physical and mental exhaustion and work weariness among Chinese ICU nurses potentially results in job burnout and consequently promotes the level of job dissatisfaction. The results also found that turnover intention
The magnitude and duration of immune response to COVID-19 vaccination in older adults are known to be adversely affected due to immunosenescence and inflammaging. The threat of emerging variants warrants studies on immune response in older adults to
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic resulting in many deaths. As a result, vaccines to prevent the onset of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been developed and have demonstrated high
The recognition of viral nucleic acids by host pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is critical for initiating innate immune responses against viral infections. These innate immune responses are mediated by the induction of interferons (IFNs), IFN
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people used personal protective equipment (PPE) to lessen the spread of the virus. The release of microplastics (MPs) from discarded PPE is a new threat to the long-term health of the environment and poses challenges
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation is deeply embedded into diagnostic radiography and radiation therapy education. Evidence suggests that the growth of simulation may be slowing. Opportunities exist for the development of guidance, training and best practice
ObjectiveThis case study describes the development and outcomes of a new integrated and multidisciplinary care pathway. Spearheaded by allied health, the 'COVID community navigator team', applied established principles of reverse triage to create
Wastewater-based monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 has become a promising and useful tool in tracking the potential spread or dynamics of the virus. Its recording can be used to predict how the potential number of infections in a population will develop
