Article Synopsis
- Universal mask-wearing significantly reduces SARS-CoV-2 transmission, particularly in enclosed spaces and healthcare settings, but there are concerns about potential infection risks associated with eye exposure during medical procedures.* -
- Evidence suggests that improper mask fit may cause airflow towards the eyes, leading to issues like dry eye, ocular inflammation, and a potential risk of intraocular infections.* -
- While prolonged mask use can be linked to increased incidents of ocular problems, further research is needed to differentiate between effects caused by face masks and other factors impacting eye health during the COVID-19 pandemic.*
Dry eye inflammation is a key step in a vicious circle and needs to be better understood in order to break it. The goals of this work were to, first, characterize alarmins and cytokines released by ocular surface cells in the hyperosmolar context and, second, study the role of NFAT5 in this process. Finally, we studied the potential action of these alarmins in ocular surface epithelial cells and macrophages via RAGE pathways.

Objectives: To estimate the evolution of compressible absenteeism in a hospital center and identify the professional and sociodemographic factors that influence absenteeism.
Method: All hospital center employees have been included over a period of twelve consecutive years (2007 to 2019). Compressible absences and occupational and sociodemographic factors were analyzed using Occupational Health data.
