Study shows COVID vaccination highly protective against death, especially for older age groups

Researchers from the UK used EAVE II, an individual-level, national surveillance system, to determine the frequency of COVID-19-related fatalities among fully vaccinated individuals and to define the clinical and demographic characteristics of COVID-19 deaths in fully vaccinated individuals since the beginning of the COVID-19 vaccination program in Scotland.

'Theta activity' in the brain found to be divergent for people with mental health conditions

A new review of current literature, conducted by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London, has found that irregular responses in the brain to challenging tasks and mistakes could be key to understanding common links between abnormal behaviors in a range of mental illness and cognitive disorders.

New application makes it possible to monitor the symptoms of people at risk for psychosis

A team from the UNIGE has developed an application that makes it possible to monitor the frequency and intensity of the symptoms of people at risk for psychosis on a daily basis, in order to be able to adapt their medical follow-up and determine the cause of the appearance of symptoms.

Routine surveillance helps detect asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infections

In a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers from Italy systematically monitored 2,397 HCWs who were fully vaccinated with BNT162 at the ASST Settelaghi hospitals in Lombardy, Italy during February 2021. HCWs who worked in 8 wards deemed at “high risk” for infection from attending patients had to undergo mandatory nasopharyngeal swab testing with SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction every two weeks. HCWs working in 8 “moderate-risk” wards were tested every four weeks.

Smart sensor equipped chair may help reduce office workers’ back pain problems

Low back pain (LBP) is no stranger to office workers. In Japan, 1 out of 10 otherwise healthy office workers suffer from LBP. Stretching and exercise help alleviate the pain, but workers often do this when it is too late. But what if our chairs could alert us before the pain worsens?

How do asymptomatic COVID-19 screenings affect a highly vaccinated university population?

In a recent study, a team of researchers from a variety of Canadian institutes reviewed the previous modeling of COVID-19 transmission in a university setting.

Immunogenicity and efficacy of heterologous ChadOx1/BNT162b2 vaccination amongst healthcare workers

The heterologous ChAd/BNT combination confers better protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection than the homologous BNT/BNT combination in a real-world observational study of healthcare workers.

Lack of sleep affects gait control, study reveals

Good sleep can be hard to come by. But a new study finds that if you can make up for lost sleep, even for just a few weekend hours, the extra zzz's could help reduce fatigue-induced clumsiness, at least in how you walk.
