The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a growing number of patients experiencing persistent symptoms and physiological changes after recovering from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, known as Long COVID. Long COVID is characterized by recurring symptoms and inflammation across multiple organ systems. Diagnosis can be challenging, influenced by factors like demographics, comorbidities, and immune responses. Long COVID impacts various organ systems and can have neuropsychological effects. Health disparities, particularly related to race, contribute to a higher burden of infection and ongoing symptoms in minority populations...

REVIEW
Hubert G Hotz
Social medicine deals with the interrelationships between health and society-as a cross-sectional subject within medicine and a bridging subject at the interfaces to other specialist disciplines. In the public and within the health system, social medicine still does not receive the attention it should be given, despite to its medical and socioeconomic importance. A significant proportion of social medicine specialists in Germany work as experts for social security providers. Using the example of the Medical Specialist Service ("Ärztlichen Dienstes", ÄD) of the German Federal Employment Agency ("Bundesagentur für Arbeit", BA), the medical tasks in social medicine are outlined...

PURPOSE: The entry into force of the new Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 highlights the need for post-market clinical follow-up to ensure the safety and efficacy throughout the life cycle of medical devices. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a single intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection in knee osteoarthritis in real-world conditions, over a six-month period, aligning with the summary of safety and clinical performance (SSCP) required by the new regulation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients over 18 years of age with knee osteoarthritis, treated with a single injection of HA (Adant® One, Meiji Pharma Spain, Spain) at a 3rd level hospital...

INTRODUCTION: Evaluate the real-world efficacy of a single intra-articular injection of carboxymethyl-chitosan (CM-chitosan), a new product class for knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: This post-marketing study included adult patients with knee OA, who received a single injection of 60 mg CM-chitosan (currently marketed as KioMedinevs one) according to the instructions for use. Follow-up was performed at weeks 1, 12, 24, and 36. Efficacy was evaluated using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for pain, the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Patient's Global Assessment (PGA), and overall patient satisfaction...

INTRODUCTION: Upadacitinib (UPA), a selective, reversible, oral Janus kinase (JAK)-1 inhibitor, was approved in 2019 in Canada for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This phase 4 prospective study aimed to characterise the effectiveness of UPA in the real-world population of patients with RA. METHODS: Adults with RA who initiated treatment with once daily UPA (15 mg) and enrolled in the Canadian Real-Life post-marketing Observational Study assessing the Effectiveness of UPadacitinib for treating rheumatoid arthritis (CLOSE-UP) and who completed a 6-month assessment as of 28 February 2023 were included...

BACKGROUND: Considering current labour shortages, the recent increase in the number of aging workers in the labour market is deemed economically beneficial. However, due to specific characteristics (e.g. biological, generational), aging workers take longer to recover and return to work after an occupational injury. Yet, few studies have examined the rehabilitation, return, and stay at work process of aging workers and current knowledge makes it difficult for stakeholders to identify which interventions to use with this specific population...

People with acquired brain injuries (ABI) face financial challenges that affect their daily lives. Managing finances is a crucial activity that can help avoid social isolation. However, this task becomes difficult for people with ABI because of their cognitive impairments. Recent advances in digital technology can help people with ABI manage their finances more effectively. This study aims to identify and describe available digital tools that can help ABI in budget management, and identify their effectiveness, barriers and facilitators to implementation...

Manila Bay, a multipurpose body of water located around Metro Manila, Philippines, is progressively deteriorating because of massive pollution. Reports have shown that the bay and its aquatic resources (i.e., seafood) are contaminated with fecal matter and enteric pathogens, posing a threat to public health and industry. This problem raises the need for a microbial source tracking methodology as a part of the rehabilitation efforts in the bay. Bivalve mollusks cultivated in water can serve as sentinel species to detect fecal pollution and can complement water monitoring...

BACKGROUND: Stroke burden is largely due to long-term impairments requiring prolonged care with loss of productivity. We aimed to identify and assess studies of different registered pharmacological therapies as treatments to improve post-stroke impairments and/or disabilities. METHODS: We performed a systematic-search-and-review of treatments that have been investigated as recovery-enhancing or recovery-promoting therapies in adult patients with stroke. The treatment must have received registration or market authorization in any country regardless of primary indication...

OBJECTIVES: Beyond specific aspects of numerical or verbal intelligence or cognitive speed, a broad range of psychological capacities are generally important in school, job and social life for all age groups. People have to quit the labour market up from a certain age about 65, whereas (younger) unemployed are motivated for return to work. The question is which psychological capacity profiles can be found in different employment groups (employed, mini-jobbers, voluntary service, retired, unemployed)...

BACKGROUND: Despite the societal importance to improve understanding of the role of employers in the inclusion of workers with a distance to the labor market, scant knowledge is available on the effectiveness of human resource management (HRM) bundles for the inclusion of vulnerable workers. OBJECTIVE: This paper studies which HRM bundles are applied by employers that hired people with a distance to the labor market, and to what extent these different bundles of HRM practices are related to employment of workers with specific vulnerabilities, such as people with disabilities or people with a migration background...

Kevlar and carbon fibres and fabrics have won a leading place in the structure market, although such materials are not cheap, and are increasingly used for reinforcing and strengthening structural elements in the civil engineering, automotive, aerospace and military industries, due to their superior mechanical properties, especially in terms of strength. The mechanical characteristics of such composite materials must be known in order to numerically simulate the mechanical behaviour of such structures in terms of the distribution of stresses and strains...

BACKGROUND: Deficits in visuospatial attention, known as neglect, are common following brain injury, but underdiagnosed and poorly treated, resulting in long-term cognitive disability. In clinical settings, neglect is often assessed using simple pen-and-paper tests. While convenient, these cannot characterise the full spectrum of neglect. This protocol reports a research programme that compares traditional neglect assessments with a novel virtual reality attention assessment platform: The Attention Atlas (AA)...
