Experimental testing of air filter efficiency against the SARS-CoV-2 virus: The role of droplet and airborne transmission

Cesare Saccani et al.

Summary: The capacity of different types of air filters to stop the propagation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus varies. An F8 filter can block virus propagation when there is no liquid flow, but if the air flow contains enough droplets to wet the filter, the virus can still spread. Even the absolute H14 filter fails to stop virus transmission under high droplet content conditions.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variants: Genetic Variability and Clinical Implications

Aakriti Dubey et al.

Summary: The sudden rise in COVID-19 cases in 2020 and the emergence of fast-spreading variants have created a worrisome situation worldwide. New variants with mutations that outcompete existing circulating variants are frequently reported, raising concerns about the efficacy of vaccines, increased transmissibility, immune escape, and diagnostic failures. Although not yet validated, it is believed that SARS-CoV-2 is acquiring new mutations to gain a fitness advantage for rapid transmission or to overcome immune resistance. Significant evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has been observed since its first appearance in 2019, but the impacts of these mutations in many variants have not been analyzed. This article provides a comprehensive review of the emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2, key mutations in the viral genome, and the possible impacts on current prevention and therapeutic strategies.

Real-time measurement of droplet size and its distribution of an air-induced air-assisted electrostatic nozzle

Manoj Kumar Patel et al.

Summary: This paper presents a critical assessment of droplet size and its distribution, focusing on the variations caused by different parameters such as high voltage, air pressure, liquid flow rate, nozzle position, and orientation. The results show that the electrostatic nozzle has the smallest average droplet size compared to the other nozzle types. Statistical analysis also reveals the mean, standard deviation, and variance of the droplet size for the electrostatic nozzle.

COVID-19 and antimicrobial resistance: A cross-study

Sidra Ghazali Rizvi et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a serious concern due to overuse of antibiotics, exacerbated by the increase in global antibiotic usage during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to higher concentrations of residual antibiotics in wastewater, posing a threat to natural water bodies. Urgent measures are needed to curb antibiotic usage and improve wastewater treatment to efficiently remove residual contaminants.
