Leptin deficiency, caused by malnutrition, makes you susceptible to sars-cov-2 infection but could offer protection from severe Covid-19
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021)
In much of the developing world, severe malnutrition is the most prevalent cause of immunodeficiency and affects up to 50% of the population in some
impoverished communities. As yet, we do not know how severe acute ...
Covid-19 and cancer therapy: Interrelationships and management of cancer cases in the era of Covid-19
(Hindawi, 2021)
'e COVID-19 global epidemic poses this generation’s biggest worldwide public health challenge probably since the 1918
influenza epidemic. Recent reports on two new variants have triggered a dramatic upsurge in research ...
Marburg virus disease outbreak amidst COVID-19 in the Republic of Guinea: A point of contention for the fragile health system?
(Elsevier, 2022)
In August 2021, the Marburg virus disease (MVD) outbreak was confirmed amid the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic in the Republic of Guinea. This is the first time it is detected in Guinea and West Africa.
Marburg ...
Mathematical modeling and impact analysis of the use of COVID alert SA app
(AIMS Press, 2022)
The human life-threatening novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona-virus-2
(SARS-CoV-2) has lasted for over a year escalating and posing simultaneous anxiety day-by-day globally since its first report in the late ...
Inhibitory potential of repurposed drugs against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease: A computational-aided approach
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
The exponential increase in cases and mortality of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has called for a need to develop drugs to treat this infection. Using in silico and molecular docking approaches, this study investigated ...
To use face masks or not after Covid-19 vaccination? An impact analysis using mathematical modeling
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
The question of whether to drop or to continue wearing face masks especially after being
vaccinated among the public is controversial. This is sourced from the efficacy levels
of COVID-19 vaccines developed, approved, ...
Dispersal dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 lineages during the first epidemic wave in New York City
(Public Library of Science, 2021)
During the first phase of the COVID-19 epidemic, New York City rapidly became the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States. While molecular phylogenetic analyses have previously highlighted multiple introductions and ...
A novel nano therapeutic using convalescent plasma derived exosomal (CPExo) for Covid-19: A combined hyperactive immune modulation and diagnostics
(Elsevier, 2021)
Extracellular vesicles like exosomes are important therapeutic tactics for treating COVID -19. By utilizing
convalescent plasma derived exosomes (CPExo) from COVID-19 recovered persistence could accelerate the
treatment ...
Functional landscape of SARS-CoV-2 cellular restriction
(Cell Press, 2021)
A deficient interferon (IFN) response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been implicated as a determinant of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To identify the molecular ...
Mathematical study of transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 with waning immunity
(AIMS Press, 2022)
The aim of this work is to provide a new mathematical model that studies transmission
dynamics of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The model ...
