Objective: We aimed to investigate the vaccination status and risk factors for intensive care unit (ICU) support need of laboratory-confirmed breakthrough COVID-19 infection inpatients. Materials Methods: This multi-center point-prevalence study was conducted on inpatients, divided into two groups as ‘fully’ ‘partially’ vaccinated according status. Results: Totally 516 patients were included in...

Ligated ileal loops of adult rabbits were used to evaluate the prophylactic potential against cholera of a combined vaccine consisting of toxin-free crude flagella (CF) and glutaraldehyde-derived cholera toxoid (TV). The resulting fluid accumulation ratios were compared with those in rabbits immunized with saline (controls) and with CF and TV alone. Data for single vaccines confirmed the superi...
