Article Synopsis
- Tight-fitting masks and respirators are more effective than loose-fitting masks for controlling aerosol spread based on prior studies, but their real-world effectiveness in humans was unknown.
- In a study with 44 COVID-19 volunteers, various mask types (cloth, surgical, KN95, N95) were tested for their ability to reduce exhaled viral load, showing that all types significantly lowered the viral emissions.
- The duckbill N95 mask was the most effective, reducing viral load by 98%, suggesting N95 respirators should be standard in settings like nursing homes during viral outbreaks due to their superior performance.
Pediatric liver transplant recipients are particularly at risk of infections. The most cost-effective way to prevent infectious complications is through vaccination, which can potentially prevent infections due to hepatitis B (HBV) virus, hepatitis A virus (HAV), and invasive pneumococcal diseases. Here, we performed a retrospective analysis of HBV, HAV, and pneumococcal immunity in pediatric liver transplant recipients between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2020, to collect data on immunization and vaccine serology.

For the development of improved sediment transport models, the basic understanding of the interaction between the solid particle and the moving fluid (water) is important. In this article, current developments in the field of fluid-particle interaction are presented based on two research articles by Gold et al. (2023) and Worf et al.

Osterr Wasser Abfallwirtsch
June 2023
In a fundamental study the influence of coherent structures on the incipient motion of single fluvial grain was experimentally investigated. To fully characterize coherent structures, the three-dimensional velocity field must be known with high temporal resolution. Using a tr-3D PTV system (tr = time-resolved, PTV = particle tracking velocimetry) this could be achieved.

Patients And Methods: Initiated in 2017, IRONMAN (International Registry for Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer) is a prospective cohort of patients with advanced prostate cancer. The study will enroll 5,000 patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) or castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), recruited from Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
