Introduction: Understanding how RNA viral load changes (viral load kinetics) during acute infection in SARS-CoV-2 can help to identify when and which patients are most infectious. We seek to summarise existing data on the longitudinal RNA viral load kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 sampled from different parts of the respiratory tract (nose, nasopharynx, oropharynx, saliva and exhaled breath) and how this may vary with age, sex, ethnicity, immune status, disease severity, vaccination, treatment and virus variant.
Methods And Analysis: We will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis, using studies identified through MEDLINE and EMBASE (via Ovid).
In the past decade, significant advances have been made in the field of chiral separation, which is crucial for biological and pharmaceutical applications. Enantioselective membranes have emerged as a promising platform for efficient chiral separation due to their unique properties such as large surface area, tunable pore size, and high selectivity. These membranes are particularly effective in separating enantiomers because of their ability to facilitate selective interactions between the membrane material and chiral molecules.
