Background: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted significant shifts to teleworking, raising questions about potential impacts on employee wellbeing. This study examined the association between self-reported changes to teleworking frequency (relative to before the pandemic) and two indicators of occupational burnout: emotional exhaustion and professionally diagnosed burnout.
Methods: Data were derived from two samples from a digital cohort study based in Geneva, Switzerland: one population-based, and one from a sample of workers who were likely mobilized in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is a complication of cirrhosis resulting in cardiac dysfunction. It remains poorly characterized in children. The aim of this study was to assess relationship of pre-liver transplant (LT) conventional and novel parameters of biventricular function with post-LT clinical course.

- Leaf dark respiration (R) is crucial for carbon cycling in forests but is often not quantified properly; this study examined how R relates to various leaf traits like maximum carboxylation capacity (V) across different forest types in China.
- The research found that leaf magnesium and calcium concentrations are more relevant for explaining R variability than more common traits like leaf mass per area (LMA) and nitrogen (N) concentrations, but the relationships are generally weak and specific to each forest type.
- Leaf spectroscopy proved to be a more effective method for predicting R compared to traditional trait relationships, revealing new traits with broader applicability and suggesting that spectroscopy could enhance models of plant respiration.
Background: The present analysis aimed to assess the mediating role of psychosocial and behavioural factors in socio-economic inequalities in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among children and adolescents.
Methods: Cross-sectional data was drawn from the randomly selected SEROCoV-KIDS cohort study in Geneva, Switzerland. Associations of socio-economic conditions (parents' highest education, household financial situation) with HRQoL, psychosocial (parent-child relationship, school difficulties, friends, extracurricular activities) and behavioural factors (screen time, physical activity, green spaces time, sleep duration), along with associations of psychosocial and behavioural factors with HRQoL, were evaluated with generalized estimating equations.
Background: Studies evaluating the prevalence and impact of recurrent rejection (RR) in pediatric heart transplant (HT) are sparse.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe prevalence and impact of RR on cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and graft loss after pediatric HT.
Methods: Data on HT from January 1, 2000, to June 30, 2020, in the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society database were included.
