Abstract Background Serological assays detecting anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies are being widely deployed in studies and clinical practice. However, the duration effectiveness of protection conferred by immune response remains to be assessed population-based samples. To estimate incidence newly acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections seropositive individuals as compared seronegative controls, we conducted a retrospective longitudinal matched study....
The study aimed to assess acceptability and preference for self-collected human papillomavirus tests (self-HPV) compared with traditional physician-sampled Pap (physician sampling) in a low-resource country.Women were recruited through cervical cancer screening campaign conducted Cameroon. Written oral instructions given carry out an unsupervised self-HPV, followed by physician-collected sample HPV testing cytology. Subsequently the women asked answer questionnaire.A total of 243...
Through the analysis of notable studies from 2024, this article offers an overview key advances in internal medicine with a selection essential themes. The topics covered include common conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary disorders, antibiotic use, and fever unknown origin. This provides practical summary to help clinicians stay informed about latest diagnostic therapeutic developments.
Abstract Importance Serological assays detecting specific IgG antibodies generated against the Spike protein following Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection are being widely deployed in research studies and clinical practice. However, duration effectiveness of protection conferred by immune response future remains to be assessed a large population. Objective To estimate incidence newly acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections seropositive individuals from...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Validated eczema questionnaires have been available for schoolchildren only, but the incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) is highest during infancy. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To validate a parental questionnaire to identify AD in children up 2 years age. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Parents 476 answered written prior an examination by physician. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and...
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to a steep increase in hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions for acute respiratory failure worldwide. Early identification of patients at risk clinical deterioration is crucial terms appropriate delivery resource allocation. We aimed evaluate compare the prognostic performance Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Quick (qSOFA), Confusion, Uraemia, Respiratory Rate, Blood Pressure Age ≥65 (CURB-65), Rate Oxygenation (ROX) index Coronavirus...
Objectives This cohort study including essential workers, assessed the risk and incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection during second surge COVID-19 according to baseline serostatus occupational sector. Methods Essential workers were selected from a seroprevalence survey in Geneva, Switzerland linked state centralised registry compiling infections. Primary outcome was virologically confirmed infections serological assessment (between May September 2020) 25 January 2021, antibody status stratified...
Background Among smokers, the presence of tobacco stains on fingers has recently been associated with a high prevalence related conditions and alcohol abuse. Objective we aimed to explore as marker death hospital readmission. Method Seventy-three smokers presenting tobacco-tar staining their 70 control were followed during median 5.5 years in retrospective cohort study. We used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis log-rank test compare mortality readmission rates among without stains....
In this selective overview of articles, we describe new concepts, therapeutic measures and pharmacological agents that may modify current practice in clinical internal medicine. Novelties for the management cardiovascular disease, such as heart failure, hypoxemic respiratory nosocomial pneumonia certain allergies are discussed.
Background: Until now, only a few cases of Valsalva-induced barotraumas (pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema) have been described, none them among COVID-19 patients. Case description: A man in his 50s was admitted for SARS-CoV-2-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Initial evolution favourable with non-invasive ventilatory support, high-flow oxygen nasal cannula the best supportive drugs available at time. During Valsalva manoeuvre while defecating,...
The number of medical students and doctors in training is growing, particularly private practices due to the promotion internal medicine primary care curriculum. Therefore, increasingly find themselves a teaching role with responsibility give feedback people training. This article aims definition review reasons for its central pre- postgraduate education. We describe opportunities barriers giving feedback, how make it effective present selection frequently used models.
Measurement of blood eosinophils helps identify COPD patients at increased risk acute exacerbation who would benefit from the initiation maintenance therapy with inhaled corticosteroids. This strategy has been included into GOLD recommendations. Would there be an interest in measuring to manage exacerbations? Recently, strategies using eosinophil count have developed better target group exacerbations respond systemic corticosteroid and also limit its prescription when risk/benefit ratio is...
Two successive COVID-19 flares occurred in Switzerland spring and autumn 2020. During these periods, therapeutic strategies have been constantly adapted based on emerging evidence. We aimed to describe adaptations evaluate their association with patient outcomes a cohort of patients admitted the hospital. Consecutive Geneva Hospitals during two were included. Characteristics periods compared as well management including medications, respiratory support admission ICU intermediate care unit...
