Film production during the Covid-19 pandemic, 2022.11.25,
https://academic.oup.com/occmed/advance-article/doi/10.1093/occmed/kqac102/6847068 .
This study demonstrates the ability and agility of multi-disciplinary experts acting in the absence of clear guidance to support a safe return to film production. Workplace anxiety and non-compliance can be alleviated through effective communication by trusted experts.

Current Challenges with the Use of Test-Negative Designs for Modeling COVID-19 Vaccination and Outcomes, 2022.11.29,
https://academic.oup.com/aje/advance-article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwac203/6852876 .
The commentary first reviews when and why TND works, and general challenges in TND studies presented in the literature. It then discusses COVID-specific challenges which have not received adequate acknowledgment but may add to the risk of invalid conclusions in TND studies of COVID-19.

https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciac921/6855554 .
This study compared admission incidence risk across waves, and the risk of mortality in the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 wave, to the Omicron BA.1/BA.2 and Delta waves.

Reinscribing global hierarchies: COVID–19, racial capitalism and the liberal international order, 2023.07.03,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ia/iiad091 .
This article is concerned with why such a rupture did not occur and draws on theories of racial capitalism to answer this question. By drawing theories of racial capitalism into the IR literature on global health, the article points to the need for domestic and global health policy to address the deep-rooted racial inequities that characterized the COVID–19 pandemic ahead of future disease outbreaks.

Accumulation of immunity in heavy-tailed sexual contact networks shapes mpox outbreak sizes, 2023.07.04,
https://doi.org/10.1093/infdis/jiad254 .
Our mathematical model accounting for heavy-tailed sexual partnership distributions suggests that mpox epidemics can hit the infection-derived herd immunity threshold and begin to decline with less than 1% of sexually active MSM population infected regardless of interventions or behavioural changes. Consistently, we found that many countries and US states experienced an epidemic peak with cumulative cases of around 0.1–0.5% of MSM population.

Development of hybrid immunity during a period of high incidence of Omicron infections, 2023.07.05,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ije/dyad098 .
This first study on functional and hybrid immunity in the Swiss general population after Omicron waves showed that SARS-CoV-2 has become endemic. The high levels of antibodies and neutralization support the emerging recommendations of some countries where booster vaccinations are still strongly recommended for vulnerable persons but less so for the general population.

Prescribing of Outpatient Antibiotics Commonly Used for Respiratory Infections Among Adults Before and During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic in Brazil, 2023.07.05,
https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciad183 .
Substantial increases in outpatient prescribing rates for azithromycin and ceftriaxone were observed in Brazil during the pandemic with prescribing rates being disproportionally different by age and sex. General practitioners and gynecologists were the most common prescribers of azithromycin and ceftriaxone during the pandemic, identifying them as potential specialties for antimicrobial stewardship interventions.

Antibiotic Resistance: A Global Problem and the Need to Do More, 2023.07.05,
https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciad226 .
Antibiotic resistance (AR) has long threatened the advances of modern medicine. Widespread use of penicillin in clinical therapy started in 1943, and a decade later penicillin resistance had already become a major clinical problem.
