Coronavirus disease 2019 has become a worldwide pandemic that is seriously jeopardising people's health. The National Health Commission and regional health administrations have issued regulations on the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019. Dentistry involves many invasive treatments, which differentiates it from other forms of medical practice. The following guidelines were produced by experts from the Stomatological Healthcare Service branch of the Chinese Stomatological Association to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 in dental clinics. The guidelines are in accordance with the relevant laws and documents from the health administration and range from technical guidelines to advice on how dental treatment should be conducted. Dental institutions can take these suggestions as a reference, based on the current local epidemic situation. It is anticipated that the guidelines will help dental institutions of different sizes to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

Spatial prediction of immunity gaps during a pandemic to inform decision making: A geostatistical case study of COVID-19 in Dominican Republic.

Background: To demonstrate the application and utility of geostatistical modelling to provide comprehensive high-resolution understanding of the population's protective immunity during a pandemic and identify pockets with sub-optimal protection.
Methods: Using data from a national cross-sectional household survey of 6620 individuals in the Dominican Republic (DR) from June to October 2021, we developed and applied geostatistical regression models to estimate and predict Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (anti-S) antibodies (Ab) seroprevalence at high resolution (1 km) across heterogeneous areas.
Results: Spatial patterns in population immunity to SARS-CoV-2 varied across the DR.
MEFV gene variations in COVID-19 pneumonia patients (Pilot study).

Background: The emergence of worldwide pandemic caused by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a radical change in everyday life. Patients diseased with FMF show manifestations and labs highly similar to COVID infected patients. In the current study, we evaluate the presence of variants in exon 10 of MEFV gene and the relation with severity of symptoms in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

BMJ Open
March 2025
Queen Mary University of London, London, UK.
Objectives: Racially minoritised communities (RMCs) were disproportionately affected by COVID-19, experiencing among the highest mortality rates of the UK's pandemic. We sought to understand the priorities for action to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and well-being of RMCs in the ethnically diverse and socioeconomically unequal area of East London, located in the northeastern part of London, England.
Design: Prospective surveys and a consensus meeting following the established James Lind Alliance priority setting partnership (PSP) methodology, adapted for a specific geographic location and ethnic groups.

Viral infectious diseases have been seriously affecting human life and health. SARS-CoV-2 was the pathogen that caused Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and the impact of COVID-19 is still existing. Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the primary pathogen of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), and no effective direct-acting antiviral drugs targeting EV71 has been approved yet.

To test the association between directly observed school masking behaviors and the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in school wastewater. We randomly sampled a subset of schools participating in a translational study on the effectiveness of passive wastewater surveillance in nonresidential K‒12 settings in San Diego County. Trained observers conducted biweekly systematic observations of masking behaviors between March 2 and May 27, 2022.
