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.
Longterm efficacy of a patient focused intervention in patients with asplenia- a three year follow-up of the PrePPS trial.
Infection
January 2025
Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine II, Medical Centre, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, University of Freiburg, Hugstetter Str. 55, 79106, Freiburg, Germany.
Objectives: This study aimed to reassess the long-term impact of a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA)-informed intervention on guideline adherence among asplenic patients and their physicians, three years post-intervention.
Methods: This follow-up study was conducted within the framework of the interventional PrePSS (Prevention of Postsplenectomy Sepsis Score) study. Patients aged 18 or older with anatomical asplenia were in enrolled in a prospective controlled, two-armed historical control group design.
Biogenic silver nanoparticle as an adjuvant in an S1 subunit recombinant vaccine.

Center of Technological Development, Biotechnology, Federal University of Pelotas, Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Adjuvants are crucial for maintaining specific, protective, and long-lasting immunity. Here, we aimed to evaluate the antigenic and immunogenic activity of a recombinant form of the S1 domain of the Spike protein, associated with biogenic silver nanoparticles (bio-AgNP) and Alhydrogel as an alternative and conventional adjuvant, respectively, for a SARS-CoV-2 subunit vaccine. We produced and evaluated the antigenicity of the recombinant S1 (rS1) protein by testing its recognition by antibodies present in SARS-CoV-2 positive human serum.

MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom.
The unprecedented sequencing efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic paved the way for genomic surveillance to become a powerful tool for monitoring the evolution of circulating viruses. Herein, we discuss how a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence approach called protein language models (pLMs) can be used for effectively analyzing pathogen genomic data. We highlight examples of pLMs applied to predicting viral properties and evolution and lay out a framework for integrating pLMs into genomic surveillance pipelines.

January 2025
Population Health Initiative, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.
Background And Objectives: The study aimed to identify key drivers of vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers (HCWs) employed at Long-term care facilities (LTCF) within selected states. It also sought to determine which interventions, policies, and programs effectively reduced HCW vaccine hesitancy for COVID-19 and influenza.
Research Design And Methods: The study employed a mixed methods approach, combining secondary analysis of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data, survey research, and focus groups.
