Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian transplant journeys: a mixed methods study
Description
CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated many of the challenges that individuals on transplant journeys experience. It will be critical for transplant programmes to consider these factors in future care provision.
A broadly reactive antibody targeting the N-terminal domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike confers Fc-mediated protection
Description
Most neutralizing anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) target the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein. Here, we characterize a panel of mAbs targeting the N-terminal domain (NTD) or other non-RBD epitopes of S. A subset of
A roadmap to high-speed polymerase chain reaction (PCR): COVID-19 as a technology accelerator
Description
The limit of detection (LOD), speed, and cost of crucial COVID-19 diagnostic tools, including lateral flow assays (LFA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and polymerase chain reactions (PCR), have all improved because of the financial and
Factors influencing the mental health status of support nurses and their workload during the COVID-19 epidemic
Description
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to their counterparts in the plains, nurses working in isolated plateau regions who were caring for children and lacked family support, were more likely to have mental health issues. There was a positive correlation between the
Epidemiology, clinical characteristics and outcomes of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children
Description
CONCLUSION: An age-based variation in the clinical presentation of MIS-C was demonstrated. Our findings suggest MIS-C could manifest in a spectrum, including single-organ involvement. Despite the high requirement for PICU admission, the prognosis of
Distress, demoralization, and fulfillment among palliative care providers during the COVID-19 pandemic
Description
OBJECTIVES: Prolonged distress is a risk factor for burnout among health-care providers (HCP) and may contribute to demoralization. We examined sources of distress during the COVID-19 pandemic and associations with demoralization.
Assessing COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Trust in Home Health Workers in New York City: A Pilot Study

The meaning of dignity in care during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study in acute and intensive care
Description
CONCLUSIONS: Dignity should be enhanced by all healthcare professionals, not only those in palliative care or end-of-life but also in emergency departments.
Clinical Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies in Oral Fluids Following Infection and Vaccination
Description
BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to circulate globally, even within highly vaccinated populations. The first-generation SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit neutralizing immunoglobin G (IgG) antibodies that prevent severe COVID-19 but induce only weak
