Copper Oxide Impregnated Textiles with Potent Biocidal Activities
TL;DR: Data is described showing that antifungal socks containing 10% w/w (weight/weight) copper-impregnated fibers alleviate athlete’s foot; antimicrobial fabrics (sheets) containing 10%, decrease bacterial colonization in a clinical setting; and these products do not have skin-sensitizing properties or any other adverse effects, demonstrate the wide preventive and curative potential of copper oxide-Impregnated apparel products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of human metapneumovirus, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza A virus lower respiratory tract infections in hospitalized young children.

TL;DR: The clinical pattern of HMPV more closely resembles that of RSV than that of influenza A LRI, yet the differences in age, radiographic findings and clinical diagnosis suggest that H MPV pathogenesis may differ from that ofRSV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 testing to detect asymptomatic carriers.
