Covid-19 disease severity in language minorities in Finland
CRP and leukocyte count were the most reliable indicators of more severe COVID-19 disease presentation and ICU admission. Although those with a foreign first language were overrepresented in COVID-19 related hospitalizations, we found no significant differences in laboratory findings based on first language, implying that disease severity among hospitalized patients did not differ between language minorities and the rest of the population
Scent dogs in detection of Covid-19
OBJECTIVE: To estimate scent dogs' diagnostic accuracy in identification of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 in comparison with reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We conducted a randomised triple-blinded validation trial, and a real-life study at the Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, Finland. METHODS: Four dogs were trained to detect COVID-19 using skin swabs from individuals tested for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. Our control…
A Two-Week Vacation in the Tropics and Psychological Well-Being—An Observational Follow-Up Study
Despite the vast annual number of international visitors to the tropics, surprisingly little data are available on the psychological well-being associated with the travels or with travelers’ diarrhoea (TD). We herein recruited participants of a vaccination trial, OEV-123, before their 12-day holiday in Benin, West Africa. We assessed the travelers’ psychological distress with a general health questionnaire (GHQ-12) and retrieved data on TD from t…
Circulating pathogen-specific plasmablasts in female patients with upper genital tract infection
Mucosal antibodies constitute the first line of adaptive immune defence against invaders in the female genital tract (FGT), yet the sequence of events leading to their production is surprisingly poorly characterized. We explored the induction of pathogen-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC) as a response to an acute infection in the upper FGT. We recruited 12 patients undergoing surgery due to an upper FGT infection (7/12 blood culture positiv…
