Abstract Background Infection breakthrough after COVID-19 vaccination is a point of conflict in current literature not only because the estimation potential hazards and symptoms severity but also due to establishing policy measuring extent immunity addition waning humoral over time. To our knowledge, this first study stratify risk post-COVID-19 breakthroughs Upper Egypt. Methods In cross-sectio...

Diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) is a sensitizing chemical that can cause allergic contact dermatitis and asthma. Protective gloves and clothing are necessary to prevent skin exposure. Breakthrough times are used for the selection of chemical protective gloves and clothing. In the EN 374-3:2003 European standard, breakthrough time is defined as the time in which the permeation reaches the rat...

We thank Dr. Blennow and Dr. Kalin for their comments (1) relating to our recent paper (2). They argue that some of the cases included in our study as breakthrough fungal infections occurring while patients were taking posaconazole prophylaxis are not cases of “invasive” fungal infections (IFIs). To clarify, we agree that case 4 (culture-proven oral candidiasis), case 7 (culture-proven urinary ...

Breakthrough cancer pain is defined as transient pain exacerbation in patients with stable and controlled basal pain. Although variable, the prevalence of breakthrough cancer pain is high (33%-95%). According to the American Pain Foundation, breakthrough pain is observed in 50%-90% of all hospitalized cancer patients, in 89% of all patients admitted to homes for the elderly and terminal-patient...

BACKGROUND Sustained maintenance of health behaviors is a determinant of successful symptom reduction strategies for older adults with arthritis. This study examined whether or not short-term improvements in exercise involvement were maintained 8 months following a home-based arthritis self-management intervention as well as the moderating role of individual characteristics in the maintenance o...

Viral breakthrough is a recognized response pattern to interferon-based antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The emergence of drug-resistant HCV quasispecies variants is assumed to be a major mechanism responsible for viral breakthrough. By using a long reverse transcription-PCR protocol recently developed in our lab, multiple nearly full-length HCV quas...

OBJECTIVES In the use of activated carbon beds as adsorbents for various types of organic vapor in respirator gas filters, water adsorption of the bed and test gas humidity are expected to alter the accuracy in the estimation of breakthrough data. There is increasing interest in the effects of moisture on estimation methods, and this study has investigated the effects with actual breakthrough d...

BACKGROUND Parenting interventions that focus on enhancing the quality and consistency of parenting are effective for preventing and reducing externalising problems in children. There has been a recent shift towards online delivery of parenting interventions in order to increase their reach and impact on the population prevalence of child externalising problems. Parenting interventions have low...

The analysis of effects of competitive situations in our species may contribute to acquiring deeper knowledge about the effects of social stress and its relationship with different pathologies. The latest studies indicate that the neuroendocrine response to competition depends more on subjective factors related to the cognitive evaluation of the situation than on the outcome itself. Findings su...

Cancer may soon become the leading disease-related cause of human death in many countries of the world. In the United States, cancer is projected to surpass cardiovascular disease as the major cause of death. Nevertheless, there is good news forthcoming with respect to emerging breakthrough drugs that demonstrate our increased understanding of cancer at the molecular level, a greater focus on m...
