Motion Analysis-Based Skills Training and Assessment in Pediatric Laparoscopy: Construct, Concurrent, and Content Validity for the eoSim Simulator

The eosin(®) is a simulator for pediatric laparoscopy. Three tasks were tested on the Pediatric Laparoscopic Surgery (PLS) and adapted to simulators. There were significant differences between the level of experience groups for eo Sim task completion times and PLS scores

Is the SPINK1 variant p.N34S overrepresented in patients with acute pancreatitis?

Serine Protease Inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) protects against premature intracellular activation of trypsinogen and development of acute pancreatitis.

False-negative results of initial RT-PCR assays for COVID-19: A systematic review

False-negative cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have important implications for isolation and risk of transmission. Up to 54% of COVID-19 patients may have an initial false-negative RT-PCR (very low certainty of the evidence) The collected evidence has several limitations, including the risk of bias issues, high heterogeneous results, and concerns about its applicability.

Providing Oncology Pharmacy Services During the Coronavirus Pandemic: French Society for Oncology Pharmacy (Société Francaise de Pharmacie Oncologique [SFPO]) Guidelines

Patients with cancer are at higher risk for contracting the COVID-19 infection and are more likely to have higher morbidity and mortality. These guidelines were developed by a working group of 7 experts in oncology pharmacy practice and assessed by 31 independent reviewers.

Rapid and Extraction-Free Detection of SARS-CoV-2 from Saliva by Colorimetric Reverse-Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification

Rapid, reliable, and widespread testing is required to curtail the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We developed a rapid colorimetric assay using reverse-transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) on human saliva samples without an RNA purification step.

Serial interval and incubation period of COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Combining findings of existing studies that estimate the average serial interval and incubation period of COVID-19 significantly improves the quality of evidence. We combined a total of 23 studies to estimate the overall mean serial interval of COVIid-19.

Infection and disease spectrum in individuals with household exposure to SARS-CoV-2: A family cluster cohort study

SARS-CoV-2 has a high frequency of transmission among household contacts. Children and adults are less likely to develop the symptomatic disease.

Immunopathological Changes in SARS-CoV-2 Critical and Non-critical Pneumonia Patients: A Systematic Review to Determine the Cause of Co-infection

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic originating from Wuhan, China is causing major fatalities across the world. The number of deaths caused by viral pneumonia is mainly due to secondary bacterial or fungal infection.
