Ivermectin has been widely used for antiparasitic drug, and has recently shown a broad-spectrum antiviral activity, including anti-Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, the pharmacokinetic property of ivermectin has

At the end of 2021, we observed an increase in N-gene target failures (NGTF) with the TaqPathTM COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit from Thermo Fisher Scientific (TaqPath). We subsequently used whole-genome sequencing (Oxford Nanopore Technology) to identify

The extensive use of biocide surfactant benzalkonium chloride (BAC) during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to the buildup of this hazardous chemical in waste, surface and groundwater. e The study aims to elucidate whether various low-cost household

During the initial diagnosis of urgent medical conditions, which include acute infectious diseases, it is important to assess the severity of the patient's clinical state as quickly as possible. Unlike individual biochemical or physiological
