BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the challenges associated with mental health and substance use (SU), with societal and economic upheavals leading to heightened stress and increased reliance on drugs as a coping mechanism. Centers for Di...
BACKGROUND: Methods that enable early outbreak detection represent powerful tools in epidemiological surveillance, allowing adequate planning and timely response to disease surges. Syndromic surveillance data collected from primary healthcare encount...
Changes in drug use in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic and their long-term consequences are not well understood. We employed natural language processing and machine learning to analyse a large dataset of self-reported rates of and...
Optical spectroscopy, a noninvasive molecular sensing technique, offers valuable insights into material characterization, molecule identification, and biosample analysis. Despite the informativeness of high-dimensional optical spectra, their interpre...
BACKGROUND: Several studies explored factors related to adverse clinical outcomes among COVID-19 patients but lacked analysis of the impact of the temporal data shifts on the strength of association between different predictors and adverse outcomes. ...
BACKGROUND: Remdesivir (RDV) was the first antiviral approved for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and for those patients at risk for progression to severe disease after clinical trials supported its association with improved outcomes. Real-world evidence (...
BACKGROUND: Serious pulmonary pathologies of infectious, viral, or bacterial origin are accompanied by inflammation and an increase in oxidative stress (OS). In these situations, biological measurements of OS are technically difficult to obtain, and ...

While star drugs like Paxlovid have shown remarkable performance in combating SARS-CoV-2, we still face serious challenges such as viral mutants and resistance. In this study, we employ a computational framework combining molecular dynamics (MD) simu...
Viral codon fitness (VCF) of the host and the VCF shifting has seldom been studied under quantitative measurements, although they could be concepts vital to understand pathogen epidemiology. This study demonstrates that the relative synonymous codon ...
