The impact of unfavorable and toxic environmental conditions on autonomic tone modulations while wearing N95 face masks

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering
The wearing of respirators has significantly increased over the last years mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The prolonged wearing of respirators may have impacted the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) of the consumer.

Applying heat and humidity using stove boiled water for decontamination of N95 respirators in low resource settings.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Global shortages of N95 respirators have led to an urgent need of N95 decontamination and reuse methods that are scientifically validated and available world-wide. Although several large scale decontamination methods have been proposed (hydrogen peroxide

Post‐Mortem Nasal Swab Testing to Reveal Hidden Respiratory Pathogens: Unlocking Public Health Insights in Bangladesh

Medicine Advances, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 401-407, September 2026.
Respiratory deaths in Bangladesh are frequently assigned non‐specific causes because of limited diagnostic information. Through stakeholder consultations, key informant interviews, microbiologist consultations, and literature review, 11 priority respiratory pathogens were identified for potential detection using post‐mortem nasal swab testing and ...

Successful Treatment of Mycobacterium caprae Infection in Two UK Cats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This article describes the first cases of successful treatment and long term resolution of clinical signs of two cats infected with Mycobacterium caprae. This suggests that the “triple antibiotics therapy” (rifampicin, azithromycin and pradofloxacin) used for other Mycobacterium tuberculosis‐complex infections in cats can be used safely and effectively

Impact of the COVID‐19 Pandemic on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to Avian Influenza Among Poultry Workers in Cambodia

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Live bird markets (LBMs) are high‐risk environments for the amplification and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIVs). In Cambodia, limited data exist on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among poultry workers, who represent a key occupational risk group.
