2) The study analyzed the relationship between particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) levels and hospital admissions for respiratory and non-respiratory diseases in major cities in South Korea from 2016-2020. 
2) The study developed a numerical model to simulate the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 virus through droplets expelled during coughing and sneezing on the upper deck of a passenger ship. 
2) This was a prospective multicenter cohort study that examined long-term outcomes up to 12 months in 303 survivors of critical COVID-19 illness who were treated in ICUs in Sweden between May 2020-May 2021. 
2) The study aimed to understand the progression of long-COVID symptoms over time in a cohort of 403 patients from a Midwestern long-COVID clinic. 
2) This was a large prospective cohort study from Norway that investigated the trajectories of cognitive and physical symptoms before, during, and after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Over 120,000 participants were followed for up to 22 months. 
2) Neuroimaging techniques like FDG-PET scans have been used to study changes in the brain associated with COVID-19. These scans measure glucose metabolism as a marker of neuronal activity. 
2) Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4 viruses pose a pandemic threat as they can infect multiple species including humans. The viruses have been spreading globally among wild birds, poultry, and some mammals since 2022.

2) Cuba conducted a nationwide pediatric vaccination campaign in September 2021 using the heterologous SOBERANA-02-Plus vaccine scheme (2 doses of SOBERANA-02 followed by 1 dose of SOBERANA-Plus). Over 95% of children aged 2-18 were fully vaccinated by December 2021. 
2) ... that plays a crucial role in the immune system. They are located on the surface of immune cells and are responsible for recognizing specific molecules from pathogens, as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When TLRs detect these molecules ... 
2) The study aims to examine the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network between SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins and human host proteins. This can provide insights into potential therapeutic targets and drug repurposing opportunities for COVID-19 
2) The study analyzed 17 pediatric patients in Korea who experienced severe neurological manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Omicron variant-predominant period from January to April 2022. 
2) The study assessed the kinetics of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 among 137 employees of the Pasteur Institute of Tunis who had confirmed COVID-19 infection between September 2020-March 2021.
