A chatbot-based intervention with ELME to improve stress and health-related parameters in a stressed sample: Study protocol of a randomised controlled trial

C. Schillings et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the effects of a three-week chatbot-based intervention in reducing stress and improving various health-related parameters. A total of 130 adult participants in Germany will be recruited for this study, and they will interact with the chatbot through their smartphones twice daily for 10-20 minutes. The study will assess the participants before, after, and during a follow-up period to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2: A Review of Viral, Host, and Environmental Factors

Eric A. Meyerowitz et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, primarily spreads through respiratory transmission, with infectiousness peaking around a day before symptom onset. Most individuals do not transmit the virus, while a few can cause super-spreading events.

Performance of Saliva, Oropharyngeal Swabs, and Nasal Swabs for SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Detection: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Rose A. Lee et al.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs are considered the best sample for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2, but saliva, oropharyngeal (OP), nasal (NS) swabs, and combinations of OP/NS are promising alternatives. While some alternative samples had lower detection rates, a combination of OP/NS showed comparable performance to NP swabs. The absence of RNA extraction (saliva) and use of a more sensitive nucleic acid amplification test (NS) significantly reduced the positive yield of alternative samples.

A Flexible Transoral Robot Towards COVID-19 Swab Sampling

Changsheng Li et al.

Summary: A flexible transoral robot with a teleoperated configuration is proposed for swab sampling to address the high infection risks for surgeons during face-to-face COVID-19 swab sampling. The robot uses a flexible parallel mechanism and a master device for safer and easier operation. Experimental results demonstrate the high accuracy and feasibility of the robot for swab sampling tasks.
