(2020)
Abstract:
Obesity is on the rise worldwide and is one of the most common comorbidities of asthma. The chronic inflammation seen in obesity is believed to contribute to this process. Asthma and obesity are associated with ...
Multiple early introductions of SARS‑CoV‑2 into a global travel hub in the Middle East
(2020)
