Published: December 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess changes in quality of life and pain alleviation in women with refractory Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder syndrome following a combined intravesical injection of Botulinum Toxin-A and Hyaluronic Acid instillation versus Hyaluronic acid instillation alone. Methods: Two groups of women with painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis were randomly divided (one to one randomization). Intravesical injections of botulinum toxin-A and intravesical Hyaluronic acid were given to Group (I). Only Hyaluronic acid was instilled intravesically in Group II. Patients were given voiding diaries, a visual analogue scale for pelvic pain, the International Cystitis Symptom Index and Problem Index, the Pelvic Pain Urgency/Frequency Patient Symptom Scale, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to assess the candidates' quality of life. The Student t-test and mean and standard deviation were used in statistical analysis, with p 0.05 considered as significant (IBM SPSS statistics) Results: Thirty-four women were included in this study. The pain severity (VAS) of group (I) cases dropped dramatically from 8.5 ± 1.5 at the start to 3.9 ± 2.4 after three months and 2.9 ± 2.1 after six months. Among group (II) cases, the pain score reduced dramatically from 8.6 ± 1.3 to 5.8 ± 1.4 to 4.3 ± 2.6. Conclusions: In patients with refractory Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Discomfort Syndrome, Botulinum Toxin-A injection combined with Hyaluronic Acid instillation improves pelvic pain and improves quality of life.

Published: December 2022

Introduction:

Sustainable development goals, adopted at the 2015 UN general assembly, aim to significantly boost water and sanitation globally and include two concrete targets for drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) as set out in objective 6. Improved water supply and sanitation results in a reduction of 23% and 36% respectively in morbidity due to diarrhea and an increase of around 2 billion school days. The present study was conducted to assess and to compare the WASH practices and its association with diarrheal diseases in residential and nonresidential schools at Wardha district.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional school-based study conducted using a prestructured and predesigned questionnaire carried out among residential and nonresidential schools in Wardha district. The study participants were the students of 8–13 years of age group or 3rd–7th standard. Data collection tools were prepared using the World Health Organization standards for WASH in Schools in Low-cost Settings and Monitoring Package developed by UNICEF for WASH in Schools which is adaptable in developing countries.

Results:

In residential school, out of 240 boys 96 (40%) and out of 231 girl students 30 (12.98%) were suffered from diarrheal disease in the past 3 months of interview. While in nonresidential school out of 178 male students 10 and 12 female students gives a history of diarrheal disease in the past 3 months; this association was statistically nonsignificant. When compared by Binomial Logistic Regression found that in residential school variables like Gender, Not Using “Urinals” provided in the school, Not using soap for washing hands found to be statistically significant, with an odds ratio of 0.433, 1.65, and 4.43, respectively.

Conclusion:

This study shows that male participants from residential schools have a high incidence of diarrheal disease compared with females from the schools, whereas in nonresidential schools females suffered from diarrheal comparatively more than males; improper water handling practices seem to be more in residential schools than that of nonresidential schools this may be the main reason of getting more incidence of diarrheal diseases in residential school.

Rapid Detecting Brachial Plexus Injury by Point-of-Care Ultrasonography
Authors: Chuang Cheng-Hsun , Huang Chao-Yen , Ho Sai-Wai , Chen Chia-Ching
Published: December 2022

Brachial plexus injury (BPI) is regarded as one of the most devastating injuries of the upper extremity. Brachial plexus neuropathy can have a high morbidity by seriously affecting the motor function and sensation of upper limbs with loss of activities of daily living. The use of computed tomography myelogram and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessing brachial plexus offers valuable details including the location, morphology, and severity of preganglionic and postganglionic injuries during the preoperative period. High-field-strength MRI with specific coil and specialized MRI sequences might be not available in every emergency setting and is time-consuming. Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) comes in handy and offers good image resolution of muscles and nerves that makes early detection of neuromuscular injury possible. Here, we present a case report of BPI that POCUS provides indirect evidence of cervical root injury and expedite time to MRI.
Oral health is overall health
Authors: Festejo Bernadette Cris L. , Bandola Maria Angela R. , Estrada Ma. Cristina L.
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND:

When it comes to health, the most overlooked aspect of health in the Philippines is oral health. Numerous studies have reported the possible association of maternal periodontal diseases with preterm birth (PTB). However, their association remains controversial. To our knowledge, this is the first local study to describe the prevalence of periodontal disease in pregnant women and its association with PTB.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to determine the association between PTB and maternal periodontal disease.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

PTB or cases (n = 28) included subjects who had spontaneous labor or rupture of membrane and delivered before 37 weeks of gestation. Full-term birth or controls were normal births at or after 37 weeks of gestation (n = 28). Sociodemographic and health-related characteristics were obtained through interviews and medical records. Full-mouth periodontal examination was performed on all mothers within 2 days of delivery. Three indices were utilized to assess periodontal diseases– oral hygiene index-Simplified, Modified Gingival Index and Lindhe Classification of Tooth Mobility. The number of missing teeth and the presence of dental caries, pus, and calcular deposits were likewise noted.

RESULTS:

Majority of the subjects had poor oral health care - 94.6% visit the dentist only as needed and 53.7% cannot recall their last dental consult. The multivariate logistic regression model, after controlling for other risk factors, demonstrated that gingivitis is a risk factor for PTB (P = 0.0057) with an odds ratio of 20.25. The presence of dental caries is another risk factor (P = 0232).

CONCLUSION:

With the findings of gingivitis and the presence of dental caries having a significant association with PTB, we recommend a review of current antepartum practice guidelines to include preventive dental care as part of routine prenatal care.

Authors: Singh Rajeshwar , Agrawal Mona , Thakur Sachin , Sharma Trapti , Sinha Abhishek , Razdan Rahul A.
Published: December 2022

Background:

One of the main purposes of root canal treatment is the complete debridement of root canals. Regardless of the instrumentation technique used 35% or more of the root canal surfaces have been observed to remain uninstrumented. To remove debris and address these uninstrumented surfaces, it is necessary to copiously irrigate the root canal. Many adjuncts have also been developed and being used in an effort to improve the delivery and effectiveness of these irrigants. Although much research have been conducted on different root canal treatment regime and irrigants used in dentistry, only a little data can be found on the widespread practice or acceptance of such methods.

Aims and Objectives:

The purpose of this survey was therefore to ascertain the current trends in the use of root canal irrigants and irrigation protocol followed by Endodontists and Postgraduate students across Central India (Madhya Pradesh).

Material and Methods:

A questionnaire-based survey was conducted and participants were asked to fill in responses to some questions regarding their preferences for root canal irrigation like irrigant selection, irrigant concentration, technique used for delivery and activation of irrigants, etc.

Results:

The majority of the respondents considered both irrigations as well as instrumentation to be of equal importance. Also, the majority of respondents prefer full-strength sodium hypochlorite (5.25%) while only a few have been found to use its lower concentration (3%).

Conclusion:

It is essential for future prospects to get an awareness of the properties and actions of irrigants and incorporate them into practice for executing a successful endodontic treatment.

Authors: Endreddy Ananda Reddy , Chennareddy Lakshmi Rajesh , Harshitha V.
Published: December 2022

Objective:

Depression can be a psychological reaction of a patient toward the diagnosis of neurocognitive disorder, and it can be a part of the complex biological response involving both illnesses. Both depression and neurocognitive disorders can cause low quality of life (QoL), especially in the elderly population. In this present study, we intended to assess the association of depression and the QoL among patients suffering from mild to major neurocognitive disorder at a tertiary hospital.

Methods:

This observational study was carried out at the department of psychiatry in a tertiary care hospital, among 100 patients, whose diagnosis was made according to DSM-5 criteria for mild to major neurocognitive disorder. Patients were administered semi-structured pro forma for collection of sociodemographic data, Addenbrooke'sCognitive Examination III R, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to assess the severity of mild and major neurocognitive disorders, Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia was administered to assess the depression, World Health Organization (WHO) QoL-BREF Scale to assess the QoL among patients with mild to major neurocognitive disorders.

Results:

The mean age ± standard deviation of the study population was 70.31 ± 6.9 years. The sum of 43.3% of the study population belonged to the category of mild cognitive impairment, 46.7% the moderate, and 10% the severe type of cognitive impairment. The sum of 29.2% of the study population had depressive episodes, and 6.7% of the study population belonged to the category of definite major depression. Domain 2 of WHO QoL-BREF was maximum affected by mild and major neurocognitive disorders (p < 0.001).

Conclusion:

This study found that majority of the patients with neurocognitive disorders was affected by higher levels of depressive scores with a remarkable decrease in their QoL. Compared to neurodegenerative disorders, depression is much easily been effectively treated, this study stresses the importance of the aggressive diagnosis and treatment for depression for all patients with neurocognitive disorder.

Published: December 2022

Purpose An increasing number of patients with cancers are interested in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which lacks scientific evidence. This study aimed to determine how CAM was used and how media affected patients in online cancer support groups (OCSG).Materials and Methods Between August 18 and September 12, 2021, an online survey was conducted among the members of OCSG. The survey consisted of five parts: baseline characteristics, attitudes toward and experience with CAM, source of information and reliabilities, experience with anthelmintics, and online health information literacy and usage.Results Among the 644 responders, a total of 221 patients with cancer completed the survey, and 78.2% (173/221) used CAM. The users’ median age was 52 years; 46.8% were males, and 43.9% had metastatic disease. Fifty-three CAM users (30.6%) discussed their physicians about CAM. In addition, 16.2% (28/173) of CAM users had the experience of anthelmintics. The use of anthelmintics in patients with cancers was associated with younger age (odds ratio [OR], 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84 to 0.95), metastatic disease (OR, 10.88; 95% CI, 3.39 to 34.86), previous exposure to CAM information (OR, 5.57; 95% CI, 1.01 to 30.72), experience with more types of CAM (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.29 to 3.05), and side effects (OR, 5.10; 95% CI 1.46 to 17.75).Conclusion Use of anthelmintics, a CAM of which information is widespread online, is affected by several factors. This study will provide essential information for developing a CAM management strategy in this digital age.

Published: December 2022

This study investigates the use of MT by first-, second-and third-year translation students for different learning tasks. The results of a self-report survey suggest that most students make regular use of MT, although the frequency of use decreases as they progress through their studies, particularly for reading tasks. Our results highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to the development of MT knowledge and PE skills among undergraduate students, using the concept of MT literacy as a stepping stone.
Source or target first? Comparison of two post-editing strategies with translation students
Authors: Volkart Lise , Girletti Sabrina , Gerlach Johanna , Mutal Jonathan David , Bouillon Pierrette
Published: December 2022

We conducted an experiment with translation students to assess the influence of two different post-editing (PE) strategies (reading the source segment or the target segment first) on three aspects: PE time, ratio of corrected errors and number of optional modifications per word. Our results showed that the strategy that is adopted has no influence on the PE time or ratio of corrected errors. However, it does have an influence on the number of optional modifications per word. Two other thought-provoking observations emerged from this study: first, the ratio of corrected errors showed that, on average, students correct only half of the MT errors, which underlines the need for PE practice. Second, the time logs of the experiment showed that when students are not forced to read the source segment first, they tend to neglect the source segment and almost do monolingual PE. This experiment provides new insight relevant to PE teaching as well as the designing of PE environments.
Converse extensionality and apartness
Authors: Berg Benno van den , Passmann Robert
Published: December 2022

In this paper we try to find a computational interpretation for a strong form
of extensionality, which we call "converse extensionality". Converse
extensionality principles, which arise as the Dialectica interpretation of the
axiom of extensionality, were first studied by Howard. In order to give a
computational interpretation to these principles, we reconsider Brouwer's
apartness relation, a strong constructive form of inequality. Formally, we
provide a categorical construction to endow every typed combinatory algebra
with an apartness relation. We then exploit that functions reflect apartness,
in addition to preserving equality, to prove that the resulting categories of
assemblies model a converse extensionality principle.
Social Gerontology Theory
Authors: Rosenberg Ed
Published: December 2022

This paper presents a review of social theories of aging including early theories based on role, disengagement, activity, and continuity, and more recent theories based on modernization, feminism, gerotranscendence, and interactionism. The elements, assumptions and possible biases, and strengths and weaknesses of each major theory are discussed. Since gerontology is multidisciplinary, the variety of theoretical perspectives can be viewed as a strength of this particular field. Similarly, the theories have foci representing micro and macro approaches, functional and conflict approaches, social structural and social psychological approaches, and historical and economic approaches. The possibility of Euro-centric and male-centric biases of theory should not be ignored. Cross-cultural research can further contribute to refining and strengthening the social gerontology knowledge base and its value informing a wider diversity of areas, including public health and medicine.

Published: December 2022

The article examines the foreign experience of the formation and development of the innovative potential of entrepreneurial structures. The purpose of this study is to develop new recommendations for the formation, development and stimulation of the innovative potential of entrepreneurial structures in Kazakhstan based on the analysis of foreign experience. Given the rather rich world experience in the formation and development of the innovative potential of entrepreneurial structures, many economists believe that if we implement successful world experience and take into account the mistakes of other countries, we can accelerate the process of forming an innovative economy. In the article, the authors highlighted the experience of countries such as the USA, Japan and the EU countries, since these countries are the base of modernization, it is there that the centers of advanced technologies are located. The study showed that the decisive role in the formation and development of innovative entrepreneurship is played by the state, which, on the one hand, establishes the rules for the functioning of the national innovation system, on the other hand, provides a resource component, including financing. Therefore, in Western countries, special attention is paid to issues of state support for innovative entrepreneurship. The article also discusses the practices of creating industry development (growth) centers that provide comprehensive scientific, technical, financial, production, and information support for the innovation activities of business structures, creating a single operator for the development of innovations by merging development institutions, creating an information retrieval specialized independent platform for advanced technologies and innovative developments, the so-called Innovation Observatory. This study made it possible to develop a number of recommendations that are most adaptive to Kazakhstan to stimulate the innovative activity of business structures.

Published: December 2022

The quest for environmental sustainability is crucial to every serious government, most especially the emerging economies where environmental degradation poses greater threat to the path of growth. Thus, this study set out to investigate the agriculture-led environmental Kuznets curve in Nigeria to ascertain its validity. Data is sourced from the world-bank data from 2081 to 2019 for the purpose of estimation. The econometric procedure begins with the stationarity test which indicates a mixed order of integration. This suggests the adoption of the ARDL approach as the best method of estimation for the model of the study. The result revealed a no evidence of agriculture-led environmental Kuznets curve in Nigeria. Further result indicates that FDI inflow into Nigeria is pure and does not cause any hurt to economic growth of Nigeria. Energy consumption is discovered to be the key promoter of carbon emission. Therefore, policy guide is provided for the policy makers for the need to expand the agriculture activities and to manage it more efficiently thereby generating higher output. Alternative energy sources such as renewable energy is recommended for the economy of Nigeria for purpose of averting pollution

Authors: DAĞ Mustafa
Published: December 2022

Tanzimat Dönemi’nde düzenlenen ceza kanunlarıyla hapis cezasının infaz edildiği mekân olan hapishaneler ön plana çıkmıştır. Bunlardan biri de Suruç Hapishanesi’dir. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada, 1852 ile 1920 yılları arasında hapishanenin fiziki yapısı ve ıslah çalışmaları, idari personel ile görevliler, mahkumların mevcudu ile genel durumları ele alınmıştır. Hapishaneyle ilgili 19. yüzyılda detaylı bilgi olmasa da 1852 yılında müstakil bir binası olmayan bir hapishanenin mevcudiyeti saptanmıştır. Hapishanenin eski yapıya sahip olmasından dolayı 1920 yılına kadar sıklıkla ıslah çalışmalarına tabi tutulmuştur. Fakat hapishanenin yetersizliğine dair sorununun kronik bir hal alması engellenememiştir. Doküman inceleme metoduyla gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın temel kaynağı arşivi belgeleridir. Ayrıca hapishane kavramı ve Osmanlı hapishaneleriyle ilgili literatürde yer alan çalışmalardan istifade edilmiştir. Çalışma neticesinde, modern hapishaneye geçiş aşamasında çekilen sıkıntıların Suruç Hapishanesi’nde de yaşandığı, mekânın yetersizliği, personelin kifayetsiz olduğu ve mahkumların sağlık durumunun iyi olmadığı saptanmıştır. Mekân yetersizliği merkezi ve mahalli imkanlar kullanılarak çözülmeye çalışılmıştır. Personel yetersizliği ise mali sıkıntılardan dolayı çözüme kavuşturulamamıştır.

Authors: GÜRÜN KARATEPE Seçil
Published: December 2022

İş Hukukunun en önemli konularından olan ücret alacağı sadece işçiyi değil tüm topluma etki yapacak bir alacaktır. İşçinin ücret hakkının düzenlenmediği bir ortamda kendisi ve ailesinin zor duruma düşmesinin yanı sıra devlet üzerinde de ağır yükler oluşabilecektir. Bu kapsamda başta 4857 sayılı İş Kanunu olmak üzere Türk İş Mevzuatında işçiyi koruyucu ve ayrıntılı düzenlemeler yapılmıştır. İşçinin ücretinin ödenmemesi durumunda, iş sözleşmesini haklı nedenle feshetme hakkı, ücretini faiziyle talep etme hakkı ve iş görmekten kaçınma hakları tanınmıştır. Bununla birlikte ücretin haciz, takas ve kesinti yapılmasına ilişkin sınırlamalar, ücret garanti fonu gibi düzenlemeler de ücret alacağının korunması kapsamında son derece önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, iş sözleşmesinin güçlü tarafı olan işveren karşısında, genellikle geçim kaynağı ücret olan işçinin muhtemel ücret uyuşmazlıklarındaki koruyucu önlemlerin, hukuki boyutunun önemli noktalarını ortaya koymaktır. Bu kapsamda Türk İş Mevzuatında ücret alacağı ilgili Kanunlar çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda ücret alacağının korunmasına yönelik pek çok düzenleme Mevzuatta bulunmakla birlikte ücret hakkının sahibi olan işçinin, korumalar noktasında farkındalığının artırılması gerekliliğine ulaşılmıştır. Kamu kurumları, sendikalar, sivil toplum kuruluşları ve akademisyenlerce oluşturulacak eğitim planlamalarıyla işçi statüsünde olan çalışanların bilinçlendirilmesi son derece önem arz etmektedir.

The study was aimed to develop the methodological basis for the medical and sanitary support of the nuclear industry enterprise personnel radiation safety during the nuclear legacy elimination on the example of Siberian Chemical Plant (SCP, Seversk). The study involved the data of the SCP employees' medical and dosimetric register containing information about all cases of death (with an indication of the cause) of former and current employees of the enterprise. The study results were used to justify selection of the area for development of scientific and methodological support of activities in the field of medical and sanitary support of radiation safety during the nuclear legacy elimination. Death rates and the risk of dying from cancer of certain localizations (trachea, bronchi, lung, skin, stomach, colon, lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissues, breast and prostate glands) in the nuclear industry enterprise employees were assessed. The directions for improving the medical support of the nuclear enterprise employees and the population of the surveillance zones during the nuclear legacy elimination were defined. The findings will make it possible to adjust the medical support of the nuclear industry enterprise employees in order to extend their working longevity, as well as to reduce the adverse radiation-induced health effects in people engaged in the nuclear legacy elimination.

Indonesia used car market is predicted to register a CAGR of about 5.74% in 2027. As there is an increase in the number of Indonesian used car players in the future, in order to remain competitive in the market, developing a buyer persona is one of the most essential solutions. Currently, in Indonesia, persona development in the automotive industry is very limited, due to limited research and digital players in the market. There are approximately 50k auto dealers in Indonesia. However, some of them, mostly SMEs auto dealers, still have limited resources, especially to do some research about market conditions. Therefore, this research could be a reference for automotive businesses to understand customers’ motivations. The data collection used in this study is by using quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative methods will be used for buyer persona development by using an online survey questionnaire. There are three variables that will be used in developing buyer persona for used car buyers, such as biographic information, users buying triggers, and consumer behaviors. Cluster analysis will be used to analyze the result of the survey questionnaire in developing the persona. After the persona is developed, then a qualitative method will be used to map the customer journey on the certain personas by using an in-depth interview.

The value relevance of accounting information, including sustainability reports, is attractive to companies because of its impact on the company's competitiveness. Analyzing the potential factors that have an impact on the disclosure of sustainability reports can provide additional insight for stakeholders about the transparency of corporate actions to mitigate impacts and risks. Sustainability reporting in times of crisis due to the pandemic will be more important than ever to increase trust among all stakeholders. The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence of the effect of company characteristics and good corporate governance on the disclosure of sustainability reports. The type of research used in this study is quantitative research that emphasizes theory testing through measuring research variables with numbers and analyzing data with statistical procedures for multiple linear regression analysis which is done with Eviews 10. The results of the study empirically prove that company size affects sustainability report disclosures while profitability, liquidity, audit committee, and the board of directors do not affect the sustainability report disclosure.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease whose incidence and prevalence have increased globally, this pathology is associated with multiple morbimortalities, especially in the cardiovascular field (Ewen et al.,2019). This risk rises much more if the disease reaches terminal level with the need for the use of hemodialysis, reaching more than half of these patients with cardiac comorbidities. These cardiovascular complications are extensive, notably coronary heart disease, arrhythmias and valvular diseases that eventually lead to death. We will focus on the latter. In earlier stages, heart valves show calcification and, consequently, stenosis. It is for this reason that, according to Ewen et al. the prognosis of CKD depends on the vitality of the heart valves. Thus, in a patient with end-stage CKD, progression to significant valve destruction occurs 10 times faster than in a person with healthy kidneys. It is for these reasons that the evaluation of valvular disease, especially of the aortic valve, is of utmost importance.

A New Cosmic Architectural Vision
Authors:   Architect-Urbanist, Hungary, Joo Denes
Published: December 2022

Adopting the classical Vitruvian definition of the ARCHITECTURE as unity of the Form-Function-Structure trinity, on cosmic level results the extended definition of the COSMIC ARCHITECTURE as quaternionic resultant of the three-interactional systemic components Dynamic/Cyclic Form- Evolution Function-Dual Structure. Starting from the WHOLE PERIODIC SYSTEM with 558 chemical elements, Gluon and Quark preelements, and the start/transitional IOVITZU’S ETHERON, and extending it with the 9th BIONIC/ETHERONIC axis perpendicular to the well-known 8 axes/16 semiaxes, resulted a GENERALIZATION of this EXTENDED WHOLE PERIODIC SYSTEM within a fractal-like structured octavic system. The Dynamic Duality of the Evolution being present everywhere at all times, on micro- and macro-cosmic levels alike, in form of nucleonic and bionic structures based on the sphere-torus reciprocal dual relations, we can distinguish nucleonic and bionic atomic structures, respectively nucleonic structured/octavic/light and bionic stuctured/pentatonic/dark cosmic evolutionary phases, with meaningful consequences of this new world concept/view of life. The DUALITY implying the SPLITTING possibility, the ancient Greek „a-tom”=unsplittable is followed by its successive discovered components proton-neutron-quark-gluon-ETHERON-BION, and on higher cosmic levels the Lightness/Darkness (determined by the etheronic-bionic balance within the spheric-toroidal structures), Life, Chaos, Gravitation. Every dual system or cosmic formation is splittable, it is „only” an energetic barriers question! The other-quaternionic- structural principle leads us to the Menora-like gradual structural diversity of the GRAVITATION, in correlation with the above mentioned energetic barriers.
SARS-CoV-2 Cellular Entry and Antigen Recognition: Modulating Immunological Responses
Authors:   Founder and President, immunePCS LLC, Greater Boston Area, MA, USA, Murphy Joseph F
Published: December 2022

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to an enormous collaborative international effort within the medical and scientific community. This effort resulted in the development of several vaccines stemming from various platforms within an unprecedented timeframe. The binding of the spike protein, a specific region on the virus surface, to specific regions on certain adhesion molecules is critical at this port of entry. Once infected, the virus begins to replicate, destroys the host cells, and spreads to other cells, leading to disease. This review outlines some of the specific receptors expressed on endothelial and epithelial cells mediating the entry of the virus into the host cells via the virus-binding ligand, the spike protein. This is a key factor to be considered for developing new vaccines and therapeutic strategies against both current and potential future variants
