Key Factors to Consider for Candida auris Screening in Healthcare Settings: A Systematic Review.

Background: Candida auris is an emerging fungal pathogen that is often multidrug-resistant. It can persist on skin and in hospital environments, leading to outbreaks and severe infections for patients at risk. Several countries and institutions are working on establishing guidelines and recommendations for prevention.

Healthcare associated COVID-19 Infections and Mortality.

Importance: It is crucial to quantify the impact of healthcare associated COVID-19 infections (HAI) and the resulting mortality to evaluate the requirement for implementing infection prevention and control strategies within the healthcare setting.

Objective: To investigate the occurrence of HAI and associated mortality among hospitalised patients in Norway.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A retrospective registry-based study was conducted using national health data in Norway.

The immune status of migrant populations in Europe and implications for vaccine-preventable disease control: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Ensuring vaccination coverage reaches established herd immunity thresholds (HITs) is the cornerstone of any vaccination programme. Diverse migrant populations in European countries have been associated with cases of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) and outbreaks, yet it is not clear to what extent they are an under-immunized group.

Methods: We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize peer-reviewed published primary research reporting data on the immune status of migrants in EU/EEA countries, the UK and Switzerland, calculating their pooled immunity coverage for measles, mumps, rubella and diphtheria using random-effects models.

[Case-based learning with practical exercises in the course hygiene and microbiology as a model for the implementation of the new medical licensing regulations].

Background: Within the scope of an educational improvement project, the teaching concept of the course at the Goethe-University in Frankfurt was transferred from an organ system-based teaching concept into a case-based teaching concept. Concomitantly, this transformation was qualitatively reviewed to evaluate self-perceived learning success.

Methods: 54 participants were included in this qualitative study.

Instruments to measure fear of COVID-19: a diagnostic systematic review.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has become a source of fear across the world. Measuring the level or significance of fear in different populations may help identify populations and areas in need of public health and education campaigns. We were interested in diagnostic tests developed to assess or diagnose COVID-19-related fear or phobia.

The mental health impact of the covid-19 pandemic on healthcare workers, and interventions to help them: A rapid systematic review.

The covid-19 pandemic has heavily burdened healthcare systems throughout the world. We performed a rapid systematic review to identify, assess and summarize research on the mental health impact of the covid-19 pandemic on HCWs (healthcare workers). We utilized the Norwegian Institute of Public Health's Live map of covid-19 evidence on 11 May and included 59 studies.

Occupational health outcomes among international migrant workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Globally, there are more than 150 million international migrant workers-individuals who are employed outside of their country of origin-comprising the largest international migrant group. A substantial number of migrants work in hazardous and exploitative environments, where they might be at considerable risk of injury and ill health. However, little data on occupational health outcomes of migrant workers exist, with which to inform global policy making and delivery of health services.
