Assessing the impact of educational methods on influenza vaccine uptake and patient knowledge and attitudes: a randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Both arms of patient education increased uptake of influenza vaccination. Individualised counselling was not superior to pamphlets alone in improving uptake. Performing vaccination at the initial point of contact improves actual uptake rates.PMID:34911183 | DOI:10.11622/smedj.2021222

Multidisciplinary work promotes preventive medicine and health education in primary care: a cross-sectional survey
ConclusionsThe Teamwork and Collaboration models presented higher rates of preventive medicine and health education implementation as well as higher rates of patients ’ positive health behaviours documented in these models.This suggests multidisciplinary primary care models may contribute to population ’s health by enhancing preventive medicine and health education implementation alongside health professionals’ characteristics.

Increased Internet Search Interest for GI Symptoms May Predict COVID-19 Cases in U.S. Hotspots å
Google Trends is an online tool that allows measurement of search term popularity on Google, spatially and temporally. While not an epidemiological tool for determining incidence, it can estimate the popularity of a certain disease by search volume over time.1,2 It has previously correlated well with infectious disease incidence and has demonstrated utility in disease forecasting, especially with influenza data.3 We utilized Google Trends to investigate whether search interest in common gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms would correlate with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) incidence data.

Real-time estimation of disease activity in emerging outbreaks using internet search information
by Emily L. Aiken, Sarah F. McGough, Maimuna S. Majumder, Gal Wachtel, Andre T. Nguyen, Cecile Viboud, Mauricio Santillana
Understanding the behavior of emerging disease outbreaks in, or ahead of, real-time could help healthcare officials better design interventions to mitigate impacts on affected populations. Most healthcare-based disease surveillance systems, however, have significant inherent reporting delays due t o data collection, aggregation, and distribution processes. Recent work has shown that machine learning methods leveraging a combination of traditionally collected epidemiological information and novel Inter...

Association between handwashing and gargling education for children and prevention of respiratory tract infections: a longitudinal Japanese children population-based study
Conclusions: Gargling education was widespread and mostly combined with handwashing education in Japan. Hygiene education significantly affected prevention of influenza infections at the age of 4.5 years, especially in low-income households.What is Known:• Previous intervention studies showed handwashing and gargling are effective in preventing respiratory tract infections.What is New:• We conducted a longitudinal study on handwashing and gargling education in Japanese children and found that handwashing and gargling were widely practiced together.• Handwashing and gargling education were related to a reduction ...

Rhinoviruses as an underestimated cause of influenza‐like illness in pregnancy during the 2009–2010 influenza pandemic
The objectives of the study were to identify viruses which could induce an influenza‐like illness in pregnant women during the 2009–2010 pandemic, then to establish possible links between detected viruses and symptoms, and then characterize human rhinoviruses (HRV) strains detected in some samples. Nasal swabs from 78 pregnant women presenting with influenza‐like illness and previously tested for influenza virus by RT‐PCR in 2009–2010 were further assayed by multiplex RespiFinder assay and bocavirus PCR to search for 13 other viruses. Genotyping of HRV strains was carried out using partial genomic sequencing in t...
