Background: SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections (BI) after vaccine booster dose are a relevant public health issue.
Methods: Multicentric longitudinal cohort study within the ORCHESTRA project, involving 63,516 health workers (HW) from 14 European settings. The study investigated the cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 BI after booster dose and its correlation with age, sex, job title, previous infection, and time since third dose.
Intraocular pressure (IOP), pupil size (PS), and tear production are variables important in maintaining eye homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of methadone on IOP, PS, and tear production measured by Schirmer I tear test (STT-I) in healthy nonpainful dogs. A prospective, randomized, "double-blind" clinical study was performed.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to summarize outcomes of studies focused on the effects of opioids, injectable sedative and anaesthetic drugs and inhalant anaesthetics on tear production in dogs. This manuscript complements the systematic review describing the effect of anaesthetics on intraocular pressure in dogs (Pierce-Tomlin et al. 2020).

The dogs allocated to one of four groups received intravenous bolus followed by infusion of fentanyl (FEN-group), or ketamine (KET-group), or lidocaine (LID-group), or saline (SAL-group). The intraocular pressure (IOP), pupil size (PS), heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured prior to and at 2, 5, 10, 20 and 30 min after initiation of the drug administration.

Tear production is an important factor in maintaining proper function of the cornea and conjunctiva. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of bolus followed by infusion of fentanyl, lidocaine, and ketamine on tear production as measured by the Schirmer I Tear Test (STT-I) in dogs. A prospective, randomized, "double-blind" study was performed.
