We conducted voluntary Covid-19 testing programmes for symptomatic and asymptomatic staff at a UK teaching hospital using naso-/oro-pharyngeal PCR immunoassays IgG antibodies. 1128/10,034 (11.2%) had evidence of some time. Using questionnaire data provided on potential risk-factors, with confirmed household contact were greatest risk (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.82 [95%CI 3.45–6.72]). Higher rates seen in working Covid-19-facing areas (22.6% vs. 8.6% elsewhere) (aOR 2.47 [1.99–3.08])....
Abstract Although COVID-19 has been reported to be associated with high rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE), the risk VTE and bleeding after hospitalization for remains unclear, optimal hospital prevention strategy is not known. We collected retrospective observational data on thrombosis in 303 consecutive adult patients admitted at least 24 hours COVID-19. Patients presenting admission were excluded. Data until 90 days or known death by using medical records an established national...
This phase I trial evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a candidate tuberculosis vaccination regimen, ChAdOx1 85A prime-MVA85A boost, previously demonstrated to be protective in animal studies, healthy UK adults.We enrolled 42 healthy, BCG-vaccinated adults into 4 groups: low dose Starter Group (n = 6; alone), high groups; A 12; 85A), B prime - MVA85A boost) or C boost). Safety was determined by collection solicited unsolicited vaccine-related adverse events (AEs). Immunogenicity...

During the course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been a drive for ambulatory medical teams to develop 'virtual COVID-19 wards' enable safe care at home people with and support prioritization hospital beds those most in need; this form is likely continue expand. Although hospitalized patients have high rates venous thromboembolism (VTE) [1], VTE rate not known, guidelines either do address prevention setting or give conflicting recommendations [2-5].
