Evolution of illness severity in hospital admissions due to COVID-19, Qu ébec, Canada, January to April 2022
CONCLUSION: Severity of admissions due to COVID-19 decreased in the first months of 2022, when predominant circulating variants were considered to be of similar severity. Monitoring hospital admissions due to COVID-19 can contribute to disease severity surveillance.PMID:38655241 | PMC:PMC11037885 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v50i12a08 (Source: Can Commun Dis Rep)

COVID-19 outcome trends by vaccination status in Canada, December 2020-January 2022
CONCLUSION: Vaccination remains one of the most important public health interventions, particularly among older adults, to protect against COVID-19 severe outcomes as the pandemic evolves. Routine monitoring of COVID-19 outcomes by vaccination status can identify changes in COVID-19 epidemiology and inform public health action and policy.PMID:38655240 | PMC:PMC11037879 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v50i12a05 (Source: Can Commun Dis Rep)

Wastewater surveillance for COVID-19 in shelters: A creative strategy for a complex setting
Can Commun Dis Rep. 2024 Jan 1;50(1-2):58-62. doi: 10.14745/ccdr.v50i12a07. eCollection 2024 Jan 1.ABSTRACTPeople experiencing homelessness experience disproportionate rates of morbidity and mortality from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) compared to the general population and shelters for people experiencing homelessness are a major contributing factor to these negative outcomes. As a result of their unique structure, population and physical space, these settings pose several challenges to the prevention of COVID-19 infection that are not adequately addressed by conventional non-pharmaceutical public health interventio...

Smoking cessation among tuberculosis patients during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic
In conclusion, TB smokers who tried to quit smoking during the COVID-19 pandemic faced many challenges. Despite this, we demonstrated a reasonable smoking cessation rate with a nurse-conducted motivational interview.PMID:38656469 | DOI:10.4081/monaldi.2024.2970 (Source: Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease)

COVID-19 Vaccination-Related Myocarditis: What We Learned From Our Experience and What We Need to Do in The Future
Korean Circ J. 2024 Apr 1. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2024.0065. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has led to a global health crisis with substantial mortality and morbidity. To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, various vaccines have been developed, but unexpected serious adverse events including vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia, carditis, and thromboembolic events have been reported and became a huddle for COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine-related myocarditis (VRM) is a rare but significant adverse event associated primarily with mRNA vacci...

Disease burden attributable to respiratory syncytial virus outbreaks in long-term care
CONCLUSION: Integration of RSV into existing respiratory pathogen surveillance programs is important to characterize susceptibility, transmissibility and virulence of RSV in at-risk populations. There is a need for public health organizations to publish the findings from outbreak investigations to provide evidence to inform RSV outbreak prevention and response in LTCH settings.PMID:38655245 | PMC:PMC11037883 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v50i12a03 (Source: Can Commun Dis Rep)

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces thymic atrophy mediated by IFN- γ in hACE2 transgenic mice
Eur J Immunol. 2024 Apr 24:e2350624. doi: 10.1002/eji.202350624. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPathogenic infections cause thymic atrophy, perturb thymic T-cell development, and alter immunological response. Previous studies reported dysregulated T-cell function and lymphopenia in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). However, immunopathological changes in the thymus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have not been elucidated. Here, we report that SARS-CoV-2 infects thymocytes, and induces CD4+CD8+ (double positive; DP) T-cell apoptosis leading to thymic atrophy and loss of ...
