The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Associated Control Measures on the Mental Health of the General Population:A Systematic Review and Dose–Response Meta-analysis
(2022-11)To what extent the COVID-19 pandemic and its containment measures influenced mental health in the general population is still unclear. Purpose: To assess the trajectory of mental health symptoms during the first year ... -
Incidence, co-occurrence, and evolution of long-COVID features: A 6-month retrospective cohort study of 273,618 survivors of COVID-19
(2021-09)Long-COVID refers to a variety of symptoms affecting different organs reported by people following Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. To date, there have been no robust estimates of the incidence and co-occurrence ... -
Incidental findings in UK healthy volunteers screened for a COVID-19 vaccine trial
(2022-09)The safety of novel therapeutics and vaccines are typically assessed in early phase clinical trials involving "healthy volunteers." Abnormalities in such individuals can be difficult to interpret and may indicate previously ... -
Injection fears and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy
(2021-06)When vaccination depends on injection, it is plausible that the blood-injection-injury cluster of fears may contribute to hesitancy. Our primary aim was to estimate in the UK adult population the proportion of COVID-19 ... -
Longitudinal trajectory of cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiopulmonary exercise testing findings in moderate to severe COVID-19 and association with symptoms
(2021-10)Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) have provided important insights into the prevalence of early cardiopulmonary abnormalities in COVID-19 patients. It is currently ... -
Mechanisms of implementing public health interventions: a pooled causal mediation analysis of randomised trials.
(2018-03)The World Health Organization recommends that nations implement evidence-based nutritional guidelines and policies in settings such as schools and childcare services to improve public health nutrition. Understanding the ... -
Multidisciplinary Teamwork and the Insanity Defence: A Case of Infanticide in Iraq
(2020-12)Capital punishment still exists in many countries and mainly in the Middle East where Islam is the main formal religion for most states. Here, the author describes the case of a young woman from Iraq who was arrested by ... -
Neurological and psychiatric risk trajectories after SARS-CoV-2 infection: an analysis of 2-year retrospective cohort studies including 1 284 437 patients
(2022-08)COVID-19 is associated with increased risks of neurological and psychiatric sequelae in the weeks and months thereafter. How long these risks remain, whether they affect children and adults similarly, and whether SARS-CoV-2 ... -
Paul Harrison—investigating the psychiatric sequelae of COVID-19
(2022-04)Paul Harrison describes his academic career as being low profile until several large studies on the psychiatric effects of COVID-19, including those linked to so called long-COVID, thrust him and his team into the limelight. ... -
Public opinion on global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines
(2021-03)To the Editor—Vaccination programs for COVID-19 in ‘high-income countries’ (HICs) have benefited from their ability to secure contracts for preferential supply for several vaccines1. For the rest of the world, vaccine ... -
Reactogenicity and immunogenicity after a late second dose or a third dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 in the UK: a substudy of two randomised controlled trials (COV001 and COV002)
(2021-09)COVID-19 vaccine supply shortages are causing concerns about compromised immunity in some countries as the interval between the first and second dose becomes longer. Conversely, countries with no supply constraints are ... -
Replacing meat with alternative plant-based products (RE-MAPs): protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a behavioural intervention to reduce meat consumption
(2019-06)Introduction: Reducing meat consumption could contribute towards preventing some chronic conditions and protecting the natural environment. This study will examine the effectiveness of a behavioural intervention to reduce ... -
Reproducibility of dietary intakes of macronutrients, specific food groups, and dietary patterns in 211 050 adults in the UK Biobank study
(2019-09)To detect modest associations of dietary intake with disease risk, observational studies need to be large and control for moderate measurement errors. The reproducibility of dietary intakes of macronutrients, food groups ... -
Safety and Efficacy of NVX-CoV2373 Covid-19 Vaccine
(2021-06)Early clinical data from studies of the NVX-CoV2373 vaccine (Novavax), a recombinant nanoparticle vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that contains the full-length spike glycoprotein ... -
Safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of a COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) co-administered with seasonal influenza vaccines: an exploratory substudy of a randomised, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial
(2021-11)The safety and immunogenicity profile of COVID-19 vaccines when administered concomitantly with seasonal influenza vaccines have not yet been reported. We therefore aimed to report the results of a substudy within a phase ... -
Why is COVID-19 associated with mental illness?
(2021-08)The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on people’s mental health. Besides the indirect impact of the pandemic, a diagnosis of COVID 19 is itself associated with a greater risk of subsequent mental illness. Conversely, ...
