Reduced SARS-CoV-2 Infection Rates in Lab Workers Conducting Nucleic Acid Testing: Controlling for the Healthy Worker Effect.
J Epidemiol Glob Health
January 2025
Center of Clinical Laboratory, Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, No.201-209 Hubinnan Road, Xiamen, 361004, China.
Background: During the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2022 in China, some laboratory workers in SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid testing (NAT) laboratories remained uninfected.
Objectives: To evaluate if the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was reduced in laboratory workers who performed SARS-CoV-2 NAT, and whether this reduction resulted from the healthy worker effect.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 423 laboratory workers from 14 SARS-CoV-2 NAT laboratories in Xiamen, China.
Oral and topical spironolactone in acne treatment: A meta-analysis of effectiveness and safety.

Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that commonly lasts from adolescence to adulthood and has serious social and psychological consequences. Current treatments typically use antibacterial drugs, which contributes to the rise in antibacterial drug resistance. Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic with anti-androgen effects, has been used off-label to treat acne by lowering sebum production.

Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neuroscience, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Background: While alcohol has been shown to impair eye movements in young adults, little is known about alcohol-induced oculomotor impairment in older adults with longer histories of alcohol use. Here, we examined whether older adults with chronic alcohol use disorder (AUD) exhibit more acute tolerance than age-matched light drinkers (LD), evidenced by less alcohol-induced oculomotor impairment and perceived impairment.
Method: Two random-order, double-blinded laboratory sessions with administration of alcohol (0.
Prognostic Factors for Survival in Adults With Burkitt Lymphoma: A Systematic Review.

ERN-EuroBloodNet, Hôpital St Louis/Université Paris 7, Paris, France.
Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Several studies have identified prognostic factors (PFs) for disease progression and mortality among adults with BL. However, there is no consensus on risk stratification based on PFs.

Clin Physiol Funct Imaging
January 2025
Centre for Physical Activity Research, Copenhagen University Hospital - Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is usually considered the gold standard for assessing maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O), a health and performance marker in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite the widespread application of CPET, the absolute and relative test-retest reliability of CPET-derived metrics remains unexamined.
Objective: To examine and compare test-retest reliability of CPET derived metrics in individuals with COPD and healthy matched controls.
