Journal of Wellness
Introduction: This article presents a curated selection of the wellness literature from January to June of 2021. JWellness editors offer a summary of recent publications within the wellness domain to seek an understanding of both burnout prevention and, more importantly, thriving in the medical profession.
Methods: For the interval of Jan 1 to June 30, 2021, a UofL librarian queried PubMed for empirical research studies, review articles, and editorials related to healthcare professional wellness. Excluding papers related to COVID-19 (due to extensive prior coverage) and editorials/commentaries, the editors narrowed to 43 articles (systematic reviews, meta-analyses, general reviews, and clinical trials) …

Journal of Refugee & Global Health
Refugees are a vulnerable population who experience significant health disparities. They may also be at disproportionately high risk of adverse outcomes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper presents the results of a community needs assessment to investigate the impact of the pandemic on health and welfare in a refugee relocation community in the United States. A multilingual data collection team made up of refugees surveyed 179 participants (128 refugees vs. 51 non-refugees). Only 55.9% of refugee respondents said they would be able to provide enough food for their family this week, compared with 84.0% of non-refugees (p < 0.01), and this difference was even greater for food next week …
Covid-19 Serological Diagnostic Development Using A Sars-Cov-2 Rbd Foldon Fusion, Joey Emery Breckenridge Jr.
Covid-19 Serological Diagnostic Development Using A Sars-Cov-2 Rbd Foldon Fusion, Joey Emery Breckenridge Jr.
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Serological tests are conducted to assess humoral response against viral protein antigens, to assess viral exposure and protection from pathogens. The rapid development and modularity of serological assays have proven critical to managing the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 is within the trimeric Spike protein and serves as a highly immunogenic target for potentially neutralizing antibodies. Current receptor binding domain serological assays use recombinant monomers or dimers of the receptor binding domain. The receptor binding domain is presented to the immune system natively in the context of the Spike protein trimer. Therefore, a recombinant trimeric receptor …

Development Of A Real-Time Reverse-Transcription Pcr For Sars Cov-2 On The Luminex Aries® Platform, Subathra Marimuthu, Holly Aliesky, Brigid Connelly, Danial Arsalan Malik, Leslie A Wolf
The University of Louisville Journal of Respiratory Infections
The University of Louisville Infectious Diseases Laboratory followed the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) guidance for developing a molecular diagnostic test for SARS CoV-2 to help address the novel coronavirus pandemic. As a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment ‘88 (CLIA) certified, high-complexity clinical laboratory, the Infectious Diseases Laboratory chose to use the Luminex ARIES® platform to evaluate a laboratory developed test. This instrument was already familiar to the Infectious Diseases Laboratory and in use for molecular diagnostic testing for pathogens causing atypical pneumonia and two tick-borne pathogens. The FDA EUA guidance for molecular diagnostic tests …

We reviewed the COVID-19 vaccines that reached phase III of clinical development. For each of the 10 vaccines identified, we described the technology used for vaccine development, the available data from phase III clinical trials, data on vaccine safety, and the role of new SARS-CoV-2 variants on vaccine efficacy.
