We performed prospective studies on respiratory viral infections among Team Finland participants during the 2021 Oberstdorf World Ski Championships and the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. We enrolled 73 athletes and 110 staff members. Compared with similar studies we conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, illnesses and virus detections dropped by 10-fold.

Compared to quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR), CRISPR-Cas-mediated technology is more suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT) and has potential for wider application in the future. Generally, the operational procedure of CRISPR-Cas-mediated diagnostic method consists of two independent steps, the reaction of signal amplification and the CRISPR-Cas-mediated signal detection. Complex multi-step procedures can easily lead to cross-contamination.

Article Synopsis
- This observational longitudinal study took place in Mérida, Mexico, and involved 100 adult patients recovering from severe COVID-19 who were monitored over a period from March to August 2021.
- Participants who met specific criteria underwent pulmonary function tests at approximately 100 and 400 days post-diagnosis, assessing various breathing and lung function metrics.
- The study's dataset includes comprehensive data on lung function, morbidity history, and CT scan fibrosis scores, and is available for free in SPSS and .csv formats through the Mendeley Data repository.
Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on Viral Respiratory Infections in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.

Patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) are at high risk of respiratory viral infections due to the intrinsic deterioration of the immune system and chemotherapy treatments. In the recent past, SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viral infection has been responsible for most infectious complications in HMs. We analyzed 2950 samples from 505 patients admitted to the Hematology department from 2019 to 2023.

Article Synopsis
- * Before the masking policy, the rate of these infections showed no significant change, but after implementation, rates dropped from 5.6% to 4.3%.
- * The findings suggest that universal face masking effectively reduces the incidence of nosocomial respiratory viral infections, reinforcing the importance of masks for the protection of vulnerable patient populations.
Impact of asymptomatic detection of non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viruses on pediatric cardiac surgical outcomes.

Department of Pediatrics, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE, USA.
Preoperative nasopharyngeal viral screening may reduce clinical uncertainty of upper respiratory infections prior to pediatric cardiac surgery but with unclear benefit. From March 2018 to March 2020, patients aged <3 years were screened for respiratory viruses and had substantial rates of viral detection (40%) but no observed differences in outcomes.
