Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in the nasal mucosa of patients infected with BA.1, BA.2 or BA.5 Omicron lineages, 2022.10.22,
https://academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ofid/ofac564/6769953?searchresult=1 .
Lower viral loads were observed in the upper respiratory tract of patients infected with the BA.1 whereas patients infected with BA.2 and BA.5 had comparable viral loads to those seen with Alpha or Delta. This suggests viral loads are not likely responsible for the increased transmission of the Omicron lineages.

A year of COVID: the evolution of labour market and financial inequalities through the crisis, 2022.10.28,
https://academic.oup.com/oep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/oep/gpac040/6776129 .
We use high-quality UK panel data to document the extent that pre-existing labour market and financial inequalities were exacerbated by the pandemic between April 2020 and September 2021. Some inequalities worsened, others did not, and in some cases, initial widening of labour market inequalities was subsequently reversed. We find no evidence of an overall divergence in labour market outcomes by gender.

Host Biomarkers Reflect Prognosis in Patients Presenting With Moderate Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Prospective Cohort Study, 2022.10.06,
https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/9/10/ofac526/6750038?searchresult=1 .
Efficient resource allocation is essential for effective pandemic response. We measured host biomarkers in 420 patients presenting with moderate coronavirus disease 2019 and found that different biomarkers predict distinct clinical outcomes. Interleukin–1ra, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-8 exhibit dose-response relationships with subsequent disease progression and could potentially be useful for multiple use-cases.

Alpha to Omicron: Disease Severity and Clinical Outcomes of Major SARS-CoV-2 Variants, 2022.10.10,

Disease severity associated with Alpha, Gamma, and Delta variants is comparable while Omicron infections are significantly less severe. Breakthrough disease is significantly more common in patients with Omicron infection.

Beyond lockdowns: a systematic review of the impacts of COVID-19 lockdowns on dietary pattern, physical activity, body weight, and food security, 2022.10.17,
https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/advance-article/doi/10.1093/nutrit/nuac088/6762057?searchresult=1 .
COVID-19 lockdowns were associated with significant changes in dietary and lifestyle behaviors of worldwide populations. Impacts were seen during and post-lockdown likely due to more time spent at home, working from home, decreased food availability and accessibility, and augmented stress associated with lockdown.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Italian Mental Health System: A Narrative Review, 2022.10.18,
https://academic.oup.com/schizbullopen/article/3/1/sgac038/6762541?searchresult=1 .
The upheaval caused by the pandemic has highlighted the need to reinforce, both at a local and national level, the organization and standards of care of the Italian MHS in order to protect and support the mental health of patients with severe mental disorders, health workers, and the general population, thus preventing a potential “pandemic” of mental disorders.

Reflections on the post-Covid city, 2022.10.22,

While cities will survive COVID-19, future pandemics could threaten our urban world. To avoid the nightmare scenario of permanent disease and social distancing, we must take the threat of future pandemic more seriously. A better solution would be a strong global alliance aimed at protecting against future pandemics.

Prediction of upcoming global infection burden of influenza seasons after relaxation of public health and social measures during the COVID-19 pandemic: a modelling study, 2022.11.01,
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(22)00358-8/fulltext .
For this modelling study, we used surveillance data on influenza virus activity for 11 different locations and countries in 2017–22. We implemented a data-driven mechanistic predictive modelling framework to predict future influenza seasons on the basis of pre-COVID-19 dynamics and the effect of PHSMs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We simulated the potential excess burden of upcoming influenza epidemics in terms of fold rise in peak magnitude and epidemic size compared with pre-COVID-19 levels.

Evaluating and mitigating the potential indirect effect of COVID-19 on control programmes for seven neglected tropical diseases: a modelling study, 2022.11.01,
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(22)00360-6/fulltext .
Effect of the COVID-19-induced interruption in terms of delay to achieving elimination goals might in some cases be much longer than the duration of the interruption. For schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis, trachoma, and visceral leishmaniasis, a mean delay of 2–3 years for a 1-year interruption is predicted in areas of highest prevalence. We also show that these delays can largely be mitigated by measures such as additional mass drug administration or enhanced case-finding.

Relative Risks of COVID-19–Associated Hospitalizations and Clinical Outcomes by Age and Race/Ethnicity—March 2020–March 2021, 2022.10.05,
https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/9/10/ofac376/6748239 .
During the first year of the US COVID-19 pandemic in this cohort, older non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic adults had the highest relative risks of COVID-19–associated hospitalization and adverse outcomes and, among those with select underlying conditions, the highest occurrences of acute exacerbations of underlying conditions.
