Although it was feared that the corona pandemic could worsen the balance sheet quality of banks and financial intermediaries, bank stabilisation has not yet been the focus of economic policy measures to overcome the effects of the corona pandemic. Rather, the effects of the lockdown have impacted several sectors of the real economy. So far, stationary retail trade, the tourism sector and hotels and restaurants have been hit by the lockdown. In addition, industry has been particularly affected by an interruption in supply chains. The automotive industry even temporarily halted production completely. The question now is to what extent the corona pandemic may destabilise the banking sector.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has set a strong quest for advanced understanding of possible tracks in abating and eliminating viral infections. In the view that several families of "pristine" small oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have demonstrated viricidal activity against SARS-CoV-2, we studied the effect of two NPs, with presumably different reactivity, on two viruses aiming to evaluate two "primary suspect" routes of their antiviral activity, either specific blocking of surface proteins or causing membrane disruption. The chosen NPs were non-photoactive 3.

As a result, there has been a decline in cancer screening and detection. However, it is uncertain how many more cancer cases among routine outpatients have been detected recently.

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing number of case reports documenting delayed seroma in patients with a history of breast surgery and reconstruction. The occurrence of these seromas has been associated with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection or SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. So far, there are few systematic analyses on postoperative complications in breast surgery since the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Background: Nursing care insurance companies in Germany have the legal mandate to develop measures to strengthen the health resources of residents of nursing homes. The present study aimed to examine a mindfulness-informed mind-body intervention (on-site and app) adapted for residents in nursing homes regarding their effect on health-related parameters.
Methods: A pilot study (DRKS00030409) was carried out with three groups in twelve nursing homes (RCT).

Since the corona pandemic, there has been more distrust towards the government and official institutions, more people are attracted to conspiracy theories and society has become more polarized. This increased distrust is also reflected in doctors' consulting rooms. It can be specifically aimed at medical interventions, the prescription of medication and the use of vaccinations, but also more broadly at the doctor as a representative of the established order.
