- Findings showed significant improvements in many cognitive areas for the intervention group, particularly in verbal memory and visuo-spatial skills, supporting the idea that structured group therapy and cognitive training can be beneficial for PC patients dealing with cognitive issues.

- - This study examined risk and protective factors for COVID-19 among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Munich, focusing on occupational risks and non-occupational influences.
- - Out of 3,696 vaccinated HCWs, 6.6% had COVID-19, with patient care occupations, community contact with COVID cases, obesity, and frequent travel identified as significant risk factors, while early vaccination, smoking, living with elderly family members, and eating ready-to-eat meals were associated with lower infection rates.
- - The findings suggest that understanding the interplay between living conditions, travel habits, and dietary choices can help improve measures for protecting vulnerable populations from COVID-19.
The primary objective of the RisCoin study was to investigate the interplay of genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle factors as well as stress levels on influencing the humoral immune response after at least two COVID-19 vaccinations, primarily with mRNAs, and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections during follow-up. Here, we describe the study design, procedures, and study population. RisCoin is a prospective, monocentric, longitudinal, observational cohort study.
