Article Synopsis
- - Norovirus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE), and the study aimed to gather data on its prevalence and impact in Panama while following COVID-19 safety protocols.
- - The research involved monitoring children under two years old through community and hospital-based surveillance, with 400 participants contributing data over several months from January to September 2020, despite interruptions due to the pandemic.
- - The results indicated a total of 185 AGE cases in the longitudinal study, with a specific incidence of norovirus-related cases being relatively low (0.3 episodes per 100 child-months), highlighting the need for ongoing research and effective preventive measures.

3D printing is a method of manufacturing in which materials, such as plastic or metal, are deposited onto one another in layers to produce a three dimensional object, such as a pair of eye glasses or other 3D objects. This process contrasts with traditional ink-based printers which produce a two dimensional object (ink on paper). To date, 3D printing has primarily been used in engineering to create engineering prototypes.
