Deposition distribution of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in the human airways upon exposure to cough-generated aerosol [PDF]
The new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been emerged as a rapidly spreading pandemic. The disease is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The pathogen of COVID-19 is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Treatment of bacterial respiratory infections
Acute respiratory tract infections are one of the most common reasons that result in general practitioner consultations. Viruses are the most common cause of both upper- and lower respiratory tract infections, however pneumonia is usually bacterial in ...

Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonists to prevent hyperinflammation and death from lower respiratory tract infection [PDF]
In severe viral pneumonia, including Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the viral replication phase is often followed by hyperinflammation, which can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, multi-organ failure, and death. We previously demonstrated that alpha-1 adrenergic receptor ($\alpha_1$-AR) antagonists can prevent hyperinflammation and ...

This multicenter retrospective cohort study suggested that postoperative infection (PI) after curative colorectal surgery (CRC) is associated with impaired oncological outcomes. Strategies to prevent PI and implement appropriate postoperative treatment may improve the quality of care and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing curative CRC surgery.

Respiratory tract infections and pneumonia [PDF]
Many organisms cause respiratory tract infections, and not all can be discussed in this review. Although many respiratory tract infections are nonlife-threatening, they are associated with a significant level of morbidity. The oral cavity acts as a portal of entry and as a reservoir for many bacterial, viral and fungal species.

A comprehensive analysis of the effect of ventilation and climatic conditions on covid-19 transmission through respiratory droplet transport via both airborne and fomite mode inside an elevator [PDF]
The risks of disease transmission due to these droplets are significantly high in confined public spaces like elevators. A numerical analysis using OpenFOAM has been performed in this work to investigate the droplet dispersion routes in an enclosed environment resembling an elevator.

Respiratory Tract Infections in Athletes
The average adult experiences between 2 to 5 upper respiratory infections (URTIs) a year, which is a leading cause of physician visits and missed days of work. URTIs are one of the most common medical conditions affecting athletes. Athletes are often in close contact with others in team locker rooms, at practice, or during travel, all of which increase
