Genomic characteristics of clinical non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae isolates in Switzerland: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: V. cholerae infections in Switzerland are rare and predominantly caused by lowly virulent ctxAB-negative and tcpA-negative strains. As V. cholerae is not endemic in Switzerland, cases are assumed to be acquired predominantly during travel. This assumption was supported by the phylogenetic diversity of the analysed isolates.PMID:38579327 | DOI:10.57187/s.3437 (Source: Swiss Medical Weekly)

National survey in Switzerland calls for improved diagnosis and treatment in children with scabies
CONCLUSION: In Switzerland, scabies is a frequent dermatosis in migrant and Swiss children. While accessible, optimal diagnostics are underutilised, and treatment is suboptimal. Permethrin resistance appears to be an increasing problem. Dermatologists regularly use ivermectin off-label in children weighing <15 kg. Treatment studies on ivermectin use in children weighing <15 kg, user-friendly diagnostic tools, new treatment protocols, and child-friendly dosage forms are needed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of children with scabies.PMID:38579328 | DOI:10.57187/smw.2023.40129 (Source: Swiss Medical Weekly)

Mid- to long-term cardiac magnetic resonance findings in elite athletes recovered from COVID-19: results from an ongoing observational COVID-19 study at a German Olympic medical centre
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the risk for mid- to long-term myocardial damage is very low to negligible in elite athletes. Our results do not allow conclusions to be drawn regarding myocardial injury in the acute phase of infection nor about possible long-term myocardial effects in the general population.PMID:38579332 | DOI:10.57187/s.3534 (Source: Swiss Medical Weekly)
