(
Future Medicine
, 2016 , Article)
Wound dressings play an important role in a patient’s recovery from health problems,
as unattended wounds could lead to serious complications such as infections or,
ultimately, even death. Therefore, wound dressings since ...
Duration of immune protection of SARS-CoV-2 natural infection against reinfection.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2022 , Article)
The future of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic hinges on virus evolution and duration of immune protection of natural infection against reinfection. We investigated duration of protection afforded by natural infection, the effect ...
