The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has evidenced the key role of vaccine design, obtention, production and administration to successfully fight against infectious diseases provide efficient remedies for citizens. Although clinical trials were rapidly established during this pandemic, identifying suitable study subjects can be challenging. For reason, University Hospital Cologne a volunteer registry participation in first Germany, which now been incorporated into European...
Data standards are not only key to making data processing efficient but also fundamental ensuring interoperability. When clinical trial structured according international standards, they become significantly easier analyze, reducing the efforts required for cleaning, preprocessing, and secondary use. A common language a shared set of expectations facilitate interoperability between systems devices. The main objectives this study were identify commonalities differences in metadata, protocols,...
The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted medical education, shifting it towards emergency remote delivery. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the impact of on preclinical education and identify predictors virtual learning experience perceived stress. An anonymous survey was delivered electronically students authors' school that attended either histology or pathology. contained two scales, (VLE) stress scale-10 (PSS-10). A total 173/255 (68%) responded, showing a positive perception delivery...
Aim To investigate medical students’ burnout and motivation levels in each of the six years their studies during COVID-19 pandemic identify independent predictors motivation.

This work exhibits set trial–related educational promotional tools general public, designed disseminated by network. Objective study primarily aimed design develop standard toolkit increase positive attitudes access trustworthy information better increased...
Background The VACCELERATE Pan-European Scientific network aims to strengthen the foundation of vaccine trial research across Europe by following principles equity, inclusion, and diversity. Volunteer Registry provides access sites European region supports a sustainable volunteer platform for identifying potential participants forthcoming clinical research. Objective aim this study was approach members patient advocacy groups (PAGs) assess their willingness register perspectives related...
This comprehensive review elucidates the profound relationship between human microbiome and breast cancer managrement. Recent findings highlight significance of microbial alterations in tissues, such as gut breast, their role influencing risk, development, progression, treatment outcomes. We delve into how can modulate systemic inflammatory responses estrogen levels, thereby impacting initiation therapeutic drug efficacy. Furthermore, we explore unique diversity within tissue, indicating...
Underserved and hard-to-reach population groups are under-represented in vaccine trials. Thus, we aimed to identify the challenges of trial participation these member countries VACCELERATE network. Seventeen National Coordinators (NC), each representing their respective country (15 European countries, Israel, Turkey), completed an online survey. From 15 eligible groups, those that were more frequently declared underserved/hard-to-reach research ethnic minorities (76.5%), persons experiencing...
