Vaccines have stemmed many infectious diseases, but when SARS-CoV-2 emerged, traditional vaccine development would not have been fast enough. This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognizes work that enabled the rapid development of mRNA

As an expert in the field of drug design and discovery, I tried, in this up-to-date perspective or commentary article, to recap and shed light on the previous and latest revolutionary strategies employed in medicinal and therapeutic chemistry to

Strengthening surveillance systems is a key aspect of outbreak response and was particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respiratory pathogens spread rapidly, and laboratory capacity is key to monitoring the spread. Prior to the pandemic

Owing to both vaccine- and infection-induced immunity, the COVID-19 seroprevalence is ~90% in most countries. It is important to examine the protective role of booster vaccines and hybrid immunity in the COVID-endemic state. Utilizing a hospital

Accurate pulse-oximeter readings are critical for clinical decisions, especially when arterial blood-gas tests - the gold standard for determining oxygen saturation levels - are not available, such as when determining COVID-19 severity. Several

CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to document the practical steps that will be adopted by US medical schools in delivering medical education, which were prompted and reinforced by their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study examined the persuasive effects of two-sided refutational conversion messages compared to one-sided advocacy messages in increasing pro-COVID-19 vaccination attitudes and reducing resistance to getting vaccinated among U.S. adults who self

CONCLUSIONS: This evaluation provided evidence that a clinical algorithm implemented within a large health system's electronic health records could detect patients in need of follow-up to determine hypertension status, and it identified key
