Objectives Determine the diagnostic accuracy of two antigen-detecting rapid tests (Ag-RDT) for SARS-CoV-2 at point care and define individuals’ characteristics providing best performance. Methods We performed a prospective, single-center, validation Ag-RDT in comparison to RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swabs. Results Between October 9 th 23 rd , 2020, 1064 participants were enrolled. The Panbio TM Covid-19 Ag Rapid Test device (Abbott) was validated 535 participants, with 106 positive results out...
This study aims to assess the immunological response and impact on virological control of mRNA vaccines for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) among people living with HIV (PLWH). In this single-center observational study, all PLWH were offered vaccination mRNA1273 or BNT162b2. Both anti-N anti-S1-receptor binding domain (RBD) antibodies measured together HIV-1 RNA levels after first dose (M0) then at 1 (M1), (M2) 6 (M6) months later. A total 131 individuals (median...
Abstract Background Antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 offer new opportunities the quick and laboratory-independent identification of infected individuals control pandemic. Methods We performed a prospective, single-center, point care validation two antigen-detecting (Ag-RDT) in comparison to RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swabs. Findings Between October 9 th 23 rd , 2020, 1064 participants were enrolled. The Panbio™Covid-19 Ag Rapid Test device (Abbott) was validated 535...
Abstract Current guidelines for Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) allow a person to be within the working area of an industrial robot arm whilst maintaining their physical safety. However, research into increasing automation and social robotics have shown that attributes in robot, such as speed proximity setting, can influence person’s workload trust. Despite this, studies how arm’s affect during HRC are limited require further development. Therefore, study was proposed assess impact robot’s...
Abstract The dispersion of the tidal volume and breathing frequency have been used to diagnose dysfunctional during cardio‐pulmonary exercise testing. No validated methods objectively describe this exist. We aimed validate such a method. simulations based on real‐life parameters. Moving standard deviation (MSD) residuals from locally estimated scatterplot smoothing (LOESS) were evaluated. precision bias each tested method at rest simulations, with without sighs, measured. For LOESS, 2nd...
In 2020, approximately 281 million people lived in a country other than their of birth. Geneva, Switzerland, born countries constitute 40.2% the population. We aimed to describe population pregnant women delivering at University Hospitals Geneva (HUG) maternity department and identify associations between legal status, migration economic precarity with quality care health outcomes. performed an exploratory cross-sectional retrospective study including all who delivered HUG’s May 2019...
Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is responsible for 2.9 million deaths annually in Europe. Symptom burden and functional decline rise as patients reach advanced stages of the enhancing risk vulnerability dependency on informal caregivers (ICs). Evidence shows that hope an important psycho-social-spiritual construct humans use to cope with symptom adversity. Hope associated increased quality life (QoL) comfort well-being ICs. A better understanding meaning experience...
Abstract Objectives To assess whether the gender (primary) and geographical affiliation (post hoc) of first and/or last authors manuscripts is associated with publication decisions after controlling for known confounders. Design Case-control (1:1) study. Setting Two large general medical journals 20 specialist journals. Participants Original peer reviewed research submitted between January 1, 2012, December 31, 2019. Main outcomes measures predictor Manuscripts accepted (cases) rejected...
To determine pertussis and influenza vaccination coverage during pregnancy among women delivering in all the maternities of Geneva (Switzerland), COVID-19 pandemic. All maternity centres canton from 1st November 2020 to 30th (beginning flu season) 8th March 2021 7th April (end had their records checked upon admission labour ward regarding pregnancy. Reasons for non-vaccination were recorded. Univariate multivariate analyses done identify predictors vaccine uptake. 951 delivered two study...
The ability to accurately judge others' personality and the recognize emotions are both part of broader construct interpersonal accuracy (IPA). However, little research has examined association between these two IPA domains. Little is also known about relationship judgment other socio-emotional skills traits. In present study, 121 participants judged eight traits (Big Five, intelligence, cooperativeness, empathy) in each 30 targets who were presented either a photograph, muted video, or...
Background & aimsThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused major organizational challenges to healthcare systems concerning staff, material and bed availability. Nutrition was not a priority in the intensive care unit (ICU) at beginning of with need for simplified protocols. We aimed assess impact nutritional protocol critically ill patients during first wave.MethodsWe included all SARS-CoV-2 infections, admitted ICU Geneva University Hospitals least 4 days from March 9 May 19, 2020. Data on route...
. This study investigated the associations between number of authors and collective self-citations versus citations by others.. We analyzed 88,594 health science articles published in 2015 they received until 2020. The main variables were authors, co-authors (collective self-citations), correlated more strongly with than others (Spearman r 0.31 vs. 0.23; mutually adjusted 0.26 0.12). percentage among all was 10.6% for single-authored articles, increased gradually to 34.8% ≥ 50 authors....
Long-term noninvasive ventilation (LTNIV) is widely used in patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) related to COPD. Prognosis of these however poor and heterogenous.In COPD under LTNIV for CHRF, it possible identify specific phenotypes which are predictive probability pursuing NIV survival?A latent class analysis was performed a population included comprehensive database the Geneva Lake area, determine clinically relevant phenotypes. The observation period this subgroup...
ABSTRACT This paper examines how Antarctica has been depicted in recruitment material, and compares the expectations set up advertising imagery with reality of expeditioners’ experiences. Textual analyses advertisements job descriptions are used to reveal dominant themes, including trope extremity, while interviews those who have spent time on ice provide reflections actual challenges encountered when working Antarctica, such as boredom. Much popular discourse around continues centre Heroic...
Immunocompromised patients (ICPs) have a higher risk of developing severe forms COVID-19 and experience burden complications mortality than the general population. However, recent studies suggested that antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines could be highly variable among different ICPs. Using collaborative, monocentric, prospective cohort study, we assessed anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein titers following two three doses in four groups ICPs (cancer [n = 232]: hematopoietic stem cell...
Industry 4.0 and the introduction of human-robot collaboration offers manufacturing companies potential for increased productivity efficiency. However, robots can still be a concern human operators. The present study aimed to investigate people’s acceptance working alongside an industrial robot. Participants completed drilling measuring task in three experimental conditions: close robot, at further distance from robot and, as control condition not proximity effects, without operating....
Abstract Objective To determine whether knowledge of cytology affects the colposcopist’s diagnostic accuracy in identification cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 and worse (≥ CIN2). Method In this cross-over study, healthcare professionals interpreted colposcopy images from 80 patient cases with known histological diagnoses. For each case, taken a colposcope were provided (native after acetic acid application). Inclusion criteria consisted women transformation zone type 1 or 2, who...

Abstract Although the principles followed by modern standards for interaction between humans and robots follow First Law of Robotics popularized in science fiction 1960s, current regulating emphasize importance physical safety. However, they are less developed another key dimension: psychological As sales industrial have been increasing over recent years, so has frequency human–robot (HRI). The present article looks at safety guidelines HRI an setting assesses their suitability. This then...
