Article Synopsis
- - The meta-analysis evaluated the global prevalence of occupational hypersensitivity pneumonitis (OHP), analyzing 46 observational studies with over 2.8 million participants from various occupations.
- - Overall, the prevalence of OHP was found to be 4.2%, with significant variations based on occupation and region, notably higher in printers (57.14%) and tobacco workers (26.32%).
- - South America had the highest prevalence at 16.71%, while age and smoking were identified as factors influencing these variability rates among different occupations.
Studies on the trends in the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are limited, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the temporal trend of RA and OA in South Korean adults from 1998 to 2021, including the COVID-19 pandemic period. The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data on adults aged ≥ 19 years were analyzed to investigate the prevalence of RA and OA from 1998 to 2021.

Methods: We conducted a thorough search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases from database inception to August 9, 2023, using the search term "autoimmune hepatitis" in combination with "incidence," "prevalence," or "trend.
Background: Viral load dynamics and shedding kinetics are critical factors for studying infectious diseases. However, evidence on the viral dynamics of mpox remains limited and inconclusive. Thus, we aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the viral load and viability of the re-emerged mpox virus since 2022.
