Respiratory symptom patterns in healthcare workers in Germany
Background Healthcare professionals (HCPs) faced unique exposure risks during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This study investigated the prevalence and patterns of respiratory symptoms among HCPs, examining potential demographic, occupational, and vaccination-related risk factors during the early pandemic period. Methods In this prospective observational study, 1,300 HCPs at a German academic medical center completed surveys about respiratory symptoms …
Post-Covid fatigue disproportionately affects women
Background Post COVID syndrome (PCS) affects approximately 6–10% of COVID-19 survivors, with fatigue being one of the most prevalent and debilitating symptoms. While emerging evidence suggests sex and gender-based differences in PCS manifestation, the specific impact on fatigue-related symptoms remains poorly understood, particularly regarding women’s experiences. Methods We analyzed data from 2,549 participants with PCS (80.6% female, 19.2% male…
Migrant healthcare workers during Covid-19
Introduction: Migrant healthcare workers played an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic, but data are lacking especially for high-resourced European healthcare systems. This study aims to research migrant healthcare workers through an intersectional health system-related approach, using Germany as a case study. Methods: An intersectional research framework was created and a rapid scoping study performed. Secondary analysis of selected item…
The Impact of Covid-19 Vaccination on the Social Participation of Immunocompromised Persons – Results of a Multicenter Observational Study
Immunocompromised persons are at an increased risk for a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection and their safety behaviors may influence their social participation. Vaccinated persons have a lower incidence of infection and severe disease when infected compared to non-vaccinated persons. Therefore, their behavior may change and their social participation may increase after a complete vaccination. The aim of this study was to explore social participation of …
Healthcare Workers' Perceptions and Medically Approved Covid-19 Infection Risk
Introduction This study analyses how healthcare workers (HCWs) perceived risks, protection and preventive measures during the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to medically approved risks and organizational measures. The aim is to explore “blind spots” of pandemic protection and make mental health needs of HCWs visible. Methods We have chosen an “optimal-case” scenario of a high-income country with a well-resourced hospital sector and low HCW infecti…
Effects of Pre-Existing Mental Conditions on Fatigue and Psychological Symptoms Post-Covid-19
Fatigue and psychological conditions of post-COVID-19 patients are not associated with pre-existing conditions
Ability to Monitor National Responses to the HIV Epidemic “Beyond Viral Suppression”
Objective: With more PLHIV aging into their 50s and beyond in settings where antiretroviral therapy is widely available, non-AIDS comorbidities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are becoming major challenges. Information is needed about whether national HIV monitoring programmes have evolved to reflect the changing focus of HIV care. Methods: We created a 56-item English-language survey to assess whether health systems report on common h…
Pediatric Healthcare Utilization in a Large Cohort of Refugee Children Entering Western Europe During the Migrant Crisis
Our analysis showed that pediatric primary healthcare in pediatric and adolescent refugees are most sought during the first period upon arrival with particular demand in infants, toddlers, and unaccompanied minors. Based on this data, future care taking strategies should be adapted accordingly
Healthcare Utilization in a Large Cohort of Asylum Seekers Entering Western Europe in 2015
During the current period of immigration to Western Europe, national healthcare systems are confronted with high numbers of asylum seekers with largely unknown health status. To improve care taking strategies, we assessed healthcare utilization in a large, representative cohort of newly arriving migrants consisting of n = 1533 residents of a reception center in Northern Germany in 2015. Most asylum seekers were young, male adults, and the majorit…
Tuberculosis Specific Interferon-Gamma Production in a Current Refugee Cohort in Western Europe
Observed LTBI frequencies are lower than previously reported in similar refugee cohorts. However, as elderly people are at higher risk for developing active tuberculosis, the observed high rate of LTBI in senior refugees emphasizes the need for new policies on the detection and treatment regimens in this group
Pregnancy Related Health Care Needs in Refugees—A Current Three Center Experience in Europe
Background: Immigration into Europe has reached an all-time high. Provision of coordinated healthcare, especially to refugee women that are at increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, is a challenge for receiving health care systems. Methods: We assessed pregnancy rates and associated primary healthcare needs in three refugee cohorts in Northern Germany during the current crisis. Results: Out of n = 2911 refugees, 18.0% were women of reprod…
Prevalence and Types of Anemia in a Large Refugee Cohort in Western Europe in 2015
Equity in the Commentaries of Edmund Plowden
An Early Tudor Debate on the Relation between Law and Equity
This paper sets out the debate about Chancery between Christopher St German and an anonymous ‘Serjeant at the Laws of England’, focusing on the jurisprudential problem most fundamental to the debate: whether conscience and equity can ‘follow’ the law while at the same time ‘mitigating its rigour’. It also describes the theory of law, equity and conscience which St German develops in the effort to resolve this problem, noting that he intended this…
