Stress research during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond

Lena Sophie Pfeifer, Katrin Heyers, Sebastian Ocklenburg, Oliver T. Wolf

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic presents unique challenges to stress researchers, but also encourages exploration of new methods such as virtual reality, pre-recordings, and online adaptations. These approaches are crucial not only for research during the pandemic, but also have the potential to advance the field in the post-pandemic era.

Nursing home oversight during the COVID-19 pandemic

David G. Stevenson, Audrey K. Cheng

Summary: The report highlights a significant decrease in nursing home regulatory oversight efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a decline in surveillance activities and enforcement actions. The only exceptions were penalties related to infection prevention and control deficiencies, as well as failure to report COVID-19 data. Moving forward, there is a need to develop policies that allow regulators to balance pandemic demands while fulfilling their responsibilities effectively.

Beyond technology adoption: Examining home energy management systems, energy burdens and climate change perceptions during COVID-19 pandemic

Chien-fei Chen, Hannah Nelson, Xiaojing Xu, Gregory Bonilla, Nicholas Jones

Summary: This study examines the differences in acceptance and willingness to pay for home energy management systems during the COVID-19 pandemic among residents in New York. Findings suggest that high-income households use more energy, perceive higher risks of COVID-19 and climate change, while low-income households experience the highest energy burdens. High-income households are more willing to adopt and pay for HEMS features, demonstrating a higher trust in utilities. Surprisingly, cost concerns and technology anxiety related to HEMS do not differ across income groups.

Biosafety and biosecurity challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond

Saskia A. Rutjes, Iris M. Vennis, Edith Wagner, Vakhtang Maisaia, Lukas Peintner

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has served as a strong reminder of the impact biological threats can have on global health. The surge in demand for diagnostic capacities during the pandemic significantly affected biosafety and biosecurity, particularly in low and lower middle-income countries where resources and training were limited. This paper aims to address the pressing issues observed in these countries and offers lessons learned, tools, and recommendations to enhance future biosafety and biosecurity measures and improve preparedness for future health crises.

Summary: STARLINER aimed to characterize disease behavior in patients with suspected ILD during the peri-diagnostic period using real-time home-based assessments. Despite home spirometry being feasible for most patients and centers, technical and analytical challenges in the home-based assessments prevented firm conclusions regarding disease behavior. Further optimization of the technology and analysis methods is required before widespread implementation.

COVID-19 infection in patients with sarcoidosis: susceptibility and clinical outcomes

Vivienne Kahlmann, Michael Manansala, Catharina C. Moor, Shiva Shahrara, Marlies S. Wijsenbeek, Nadera J. Sweiss

Summary: Patients with sarcoidosis, especially those with moderate to severe impaired pulmonary function, may be at higher risk of adverse outcomes and mortality from COVID-19. The impact of immunosuppressive medication on COVID-19 severity and vaccination response remains unclear. Novel approaches like telemedicine and home monitoring programs show promise for ensuring continuity of care for these patients during the pandemic. Further research specifically focusing on the sarcoidosis population is needed to better understand the risk and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 infection.

Summary: People with rare lung diseases often face delayed diagnosis, limited treatment options, and difficulty in finding expert physicians. The limited education and training for healthcare practitioners on rare diseases contribute to the delay in diagnosis. Patients and families seek easier access to high-quality education materials to manage their own diseases. Increased awareness and development of patient-centered international expert networks are essential for improving care and education on rare lung diseases.
