Introduction: Myocarditis has been reported following the second dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. Whether administration of additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines further increases the risk of myocarditis is unknown.
Methods: We included individuals who received one to three doses of BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 mRNA vaccine between 12/14/2020 and 2/18/2022. Myocarditis within 21 days of vaccine administration was identified using electronic medical records. Incidence rate ratios were calculated by comparing the observed incidence with the expected incidence from the same population during a 365-day baseline period.
Results: Of 3,076,660 KPSC members who received at least one dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, 2,916,739 (94.5%) received at least two doses, and 1,146,254 (47.0%) received three doses. The incidence rate ratio for myocarditis was 0.86 (95% CI 0.31-1.93) for the first dose, 4.22 (95% CI 2.63-6.53) for the second dose, and 2.61 (1.13-5.29) for the third dose. Most myocarditis cases following the second and third dose occurred within seven days of vaccination.
Conclusion: Myocarditis was a rare event observed after the second or third dose of vaccination. Most cases presented within seven days of vaccination. The incidence of myocarditis following the third dose was not significantly higher than that observed after the second dose.

In vitro metabolism of seven arolyl-derived fentanyl-type new psychoactive substances.

Over the past decade, fentanyl-type new psychoactive substances (F-NPS) have emerged as the most representative synthetic opioids in third-generation drugs. These substances are characterized by their "low" fatal dose and parent drug levels in biological matrices, "fast" rates of derivatization and metabolism, and "many" derivatization sites and analogs. The low levels of parent fentanyl NPS in biological matrices complicate their detection, necessitating the use of characteristic metabolites as biomarkers for forensic analysis.

Background: As older age and having certain comorbidities can influence humoral responses to vaccination, we studied antibody responses after the COVID-19 booster campaigns in nursing home (NH) residents.
Methods: In a two year longitudinal study with Dutch NH residents (n = 107), aged 50 years and over, we monitored antibody responses in serum prior to and after vaccination with a third, fourth BNT162b2 (wild-type; WT), and a BNT162b2 bivalent (WT/OMI BA.1) fifth vaccine.

The study evaluated the efficacy and residual activity of SumiLarv 2MR, SumiLarv 0.5G, and Abate 1SG (used as a positive control) against Anopheles stephensi larvae in Awash Subath Kilo, Afar Regional State, Ethiopia, using a semi-field experimental setup. Plastic containers with capacities of 100L and 250L were used to assess the residual efficacy of SumiLarv 2MR.

Malaria has been a severe global and public health concern for the last couple of decades. Ghana, like many other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, is most affected by the disease, with children facing dire consequences. The recent introduction of the RTS, S malaria vaccine holds great potential in reducing malaria fatalities in children.

Background: An increasing number of multicomponent workplace interventions are being developed to reduce sedentary time and promote physical activity among office workers. The Physical Activity at Work (PAW) trial was one of these interventions, but it yielded an inconclusive effect on sedentary time after 6 months, with a low uptake of movement breaks, the main intervention component.
Objective: This study investigates the factors contributing to the outcomes of the PAW cluster randomized trial.
