Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in two nursing homes in southwestern France to investigate COVID-19 breakthrough infections among residents who were mostly vaccinated, during active COVID-19 clusters in early 2021.
- Out of 152 residents, 31% had confirmed COVID-19 infections, including those who were fully vaccinated, with some experiencing severe illness and one fatality.
- The study found that infected residents had significantly higher antibody levels compared to non-infected vaccinated residents, suggesting that additional vaccine doses may be beneficial for this vulnerable population.
Background: Antibiotic administration by subcutaneous (SC) injection is common practice in French geriatric wards as an alternative to the intravenous (IV) route, but few pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic data are available. Ertapenem is useful for the treatment of infections with ESBL-producing enterobacteria.
Objectives: To report and compare ertapenem pharmacokinetic data between IV and SC routes in older persons.
Objectives: This study aims to identify subgroups of consumers based on the health motives underlying their food choice in Western Balkan Countries.
Methods: The survey (n = 2943) was based on the Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ) and elicited information on socio-demographic characteristics, consumption frequency of healthy food products, nutrition knowledge and impulsiveness. Analysis of the FCQ data focused on items of "health and natural content" and "weight control" factors to identify clusters.
Background: Western Balkan countries (WBCs) have a long-standing culinary tradition. The promotion of traditional foods may be a tool for coping with modernisation trends in such transition economies. This paper explores consumer preferences toward food in this region, focusing on a traditional fresh cow cheese locally called 'Mladi Sir'.
