Bed bug infestations have been increasing worldwide since the 2000s. Their consequences for health range from skin reactions to major psychological distress. However, epidemiological data is still lacking.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFData on the SARS-CoV-2 infection among primary health care workers (PHCWs) are scarce but essential to reflect on policy regarding prevention and control measures. We assessed the prevalence of PHCWs who have been infected by SARS-CoV-2 in comparison with modeling from the general population in metropolitan France, and associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted among general practitioners (GPs), pediatricians, dental and pharmacy workers in primary care between May and August 2021.

We compared the ILI incidence among immunocompromised population and the general population.
Method: We conducted a prospective cohort study during the 2017-2018 seasonal influenza epidemic, on the GrippeNet.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence and bleeding risk associated with drug interactions between apixaban or rivaroxaban and certain CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitors in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
- Using a cohort from the French healthcare database (2014-2019), 10,392 AF patients on these medications were analyzed, with a focus on hospitalization due to bleeding as the primary outcome.
- The findings revealed a 38.9% prevalence of drug-drug interactions, but no significant association with increased hospitalization for bleeding; factors like age and male gender were related to higher bleeding risk instead.
Attitudes towards booster, testing and isolation, and their impact on COVID-19 response in winter 2022/2023 in France, Belgium, and Italy: a cross-sectional survey and modelling study.

Article Synopsis
- European countries are implementing strategies like testing, isolation, and booster vaccinations to combat the winter surge of COVID-19, but face challenges due to pandemic fatigue and low compliance.
- A multicountry survey involving 4,594 participants showed high willingness to comply with testing and isolation requirements, with variation in intentions to receive booster vaccinations across France, Belgium, and Italy.
- The use of epidemic modeling suggests that effective testing and isolation can significantly reduce transmission rates, while simpler isolation mandates and high booster uptake can enhance overall public compliance and reduce costs.
