Эта Специальная Коллекция включает Кокрейновские обзоры по следующим темам: лекарственное лечение, поведенческая поддержка и постепенный отказ от курения. Вмеша...ельства, имитирующие акт курения, в частности, электронные сигареты, были исключены из этой коллекции, поскольку риски, связанные с их использованием в связи с текущей пандемией, не ясны. Кокрейновская группа по табачной зависимости работает над тем, чтобы вся соответствующая информация была актуальна (обновлена), чтобы обеспечить поддержку людям, пытающимся бросить курить в это трудное время.

As new variants emerge people are wondering if they should wait until a more efficacious vaccine is available or if they should go ahead and get vaccinated now? Answering your questions on COVID-19 vaccines and variants in this episode of Science in 5 is WHO's Dr Soumya Swaminathan.
The NY Times variant tracker is perhaps the most accessible and relevant publication for non-molecular biologists and the general public
Each coronavirus contains nearly 30,000 letters of RNA. This genetic information allows the virus to infect cells and hijack them to make new viruses.
n light of the potential risk posed by SARS-CoV-2 variants, in January 2021 WHO organized an ad hoc consultation to discuss the development of an R&D agenda in response to existing and emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
The key objectives were to identify the critical research questions related to var...iants and agree on a research approach to address them. Six breakout groups covered a range of specific issues related to COVID-19 variants: Epidemiology and mathematical modelling; evolutionary biology; animal models; assays and diagnostics; clinical management and therapeutics; and vaccines.
This report is a summary of presentations and panel discussions.

Declarations of interests were collected from all external contributors and assessed for any conflicts of interest. Summaries of the reported interests can be found on the SAGE meeting website and SAGE Covid-19 Working Group webpage. This guidance should be considered along with the broader COVID-...19 policy advice to WHO member states and in particular the advice on how to reach the COVID-19 vaccination targets.
