COVID-19 pandemic and mental health among Hispanic/Latino/a immigrants in the USA: protocol for a scoping review
Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic has had drastic effects on worldwide mental health and laid bare health disparities and inequities among marginalised groups and racial/ethnic minoritised communities in the USA. This is especially the case among Hispanic/Latino/a immigrants who face numerous structural and socioeconomic barriers to well-being. The increased mental health burden on Hispanic/Latino/a immigrants may have far reaching effects if left unaddressed. Thus, by understanding further Hispanic/Latino/a immigrant mental health during the pandemic, communities and health providers may be able to better address this gr...

Efficacy and safety of pediatric flu vaccination: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: We positively highlight the safety of pediatric flu vaccination in analyzed studies, on the contrary, with respect to the efficacy of flu vaccination, we observe a wide variability of results. There is a clear need to continue conducting efficacy and safety studies in the child.PMID:38050694 | DOI:10.37201/req/101.2023 (Source: Revista Espanola de Quimioterapia)

Health habits during lockdown for COVID-19 in Spain and its effect on weight
CONCLUSIONS: it is suggested the development of prevention programs for long lockdown periods associated with high levels of stress so as to promote a healthy diet, as well as exercise using new technologies and a proper rest, especially in overweight or obese subjects.PMID:38047424 | DOI:10.20960/nh.04740 (Source: Nutricion Hospitalaria)

The gift of preexisting immunity for developing an alternative vaccine strategy
Despite the worldwide application of vaccination and other antiviral interventions, pulmonary viral infections remain a persistent threat to human health. The 1918 influenza pandemic killed more than 40 million people in just one year, and the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has killed more than 6.9 million people since 2019. While the current approved COVID-19 vaccines are administered parenterally and induce systemic immunity, they only prevent the progression to severe disease. Thus, other vaccine platforms are still needed for completely preventing the disease and subsequent transmission. In this issue of the JCI, Kawai et al. pre...

Surveying Adolescents During a Pandemic: Comparison of Adolescents Recruited via Social Media vs. Schools
AbstractSchool-based surveys of adolescents can be logistically difficult and exclude students who do not attend school. Social media recruitment could be a promising strategy to recruit representative samples of adolescents. However, few studies have compared adolescent survey data collected via different methodologies. Our team was conducting a school-based survey when the COVID-19 pandemic closed all schools, necessitating a shift to online adolescent recruitment. To achieve our goal of obtaining a sample of high school students throughout California, we placed ads on social media. We compared the adolescents recruited ...

A cooperativity between virus and bacteria during respiratory infections
Respiratory tract infections remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The burden is further increased by polymicrobial infection or viral and bacterial co-infection, often exacerbating the existing condition. Way back in 1918, high morbidity due to secondary pneumonia caused by bacterial infection was known, and a similar phenomenon was observed during the recent COVID-19 pandemic in which secondary bacterial infection worsens the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) condition. It has been observed that viruses paved the way for subsequent bacterial infection; similarly, bacter...

How effective were Australian Quarantine Stations in mitigating transmission aboard ships during the influenza pandemic of 1918-19?
by Punya Alahakoon, Peter G. Taylor, James M. McCaw
The influenza pandemic of 1918-19 was the most devastating pandemic of the 20th century. It killed an estimated 50 –100 million people worldwide. In late 1918, when the severity of the disease was apparent, the Australian Quarantine Service was established. Vessels returning from overseas and inter-state were intercepted, and people were examined for signs of illness and quarantined. Some of these vessels carr ied the infection throughout their voyage and cases were prevalent by the time the ship arrived at a Quarantine Station. We study four outbreaks that took place ...
