The state of current research on COVID-19 and antibiotic use: global implications for antimicrobial resistance
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first bibliometric analysis of COVID-19-related research on antibiotics. Research was carried out in response to global requests to increase the fight against AMR and awareness of the issue. More restrictions on the use of antibiotics are urgently needed from policy makers and authorities, more so than in the current situation.PMID:37173756 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-023-00386-2 (Source: Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition)

Bilateral Pulmonary Embolism and Impending Paradoxical Embolism After COVID-19 Vaccination
Paradoxical embolism refers to the clinical phenomenon of a thrombus occurring in the venous vasculature and passing into the systemic circulation.1 Impending paradoxical embolism is even rarer and occurs when the venous embolism is identified on imaging in transit across an intracardiac defect. An increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford University, Oxford, UK, and AstraZeneca, Cambridge, UK) vaccine has been reported2; however, impending paradoxical embolism after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 has not previously been identified.

Streamlining Breast Radiotherapy Pathway: from Breast PTV, Implementation of Auto-plan Breast Script (Inverse Planning IMRT) and ‘as Per Protocol Approval’ at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH)
Purpose: Breast radiotherapy represents a significant workload. At the OUH clinicians had to approve tangential fields, plans were optimised using forward plan IMRT and a final clinician approval was required before treatment. This pilot aimed to implement breast CTV [1] to facilitate inverse planning IMRT and ‘as per protocol approval’ by a senior physicist to shorten the breast radiotherapy pathway and allow patients to start radiotherapy sooner.

Tool Helps Predict Suicide Risk Among People With Serious Mental Illness
In this study, the researchers looked to validate the tool in a second, different sample of patients.Sariaslan and colleagues used population-based data from Finland, including the Care Register for Health Care, to identify all individuals aged 15 to 65 who were diagnosed with an SMI between 1996 and 2017. The authors identified a cohort of 137,112 individuals who had over 5 million recorded episodes of schizophrenia spectrum disorder or bipolar disorder. They randomly selected one episode per person to be the index episode, as OxMIS is intended to be used at a single time point. The authors then used OxMIS to calculate ea...

COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness and variants in Nepal: study protocol for a test-negative case-control study with SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequencing
Introduction
Inactivated, viral vector and mRNA vaccines have been used in the Nepali COVID-19 vaccination programme but there is little evidence on the effectiveness of these vaccines in this setting. The aim of this study is to describe COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in Nepal and provide information on infections with SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Methods and analysis
This is a hospital-based, prospective test-negative case–control study conducted at Patan Hospital, Kathmandu. All patients >18 years of age presenting to Patan Hospital with COVID-19-like symptoms who have received a COVID-19 antigen/PCR test are eligible...
