Use of Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Model for COVID-19 Fact-Checking: Development and Usability Study

Use of Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Model for COVID-19 Fact-Checking: Development and Usability Study

The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an “infodemic,” characterized by the rapid spread of misinformation and disinformation, significantly undermining public health efforts [1]. Misinformation refers to the unintentional spread of incorrect or misleading information [2], while disinformation involves deliberately disseminating false information to deceive [3].

Recruiting Medical, Dental, and Biomedical Students as First Responders in the Immediate Aftermath of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prospective Follow-Up Study

Their study took place while the COVID-19 pandemic was still ongoing, and many restrictions were still in effect. In addition, the motivational intervention designed to catch the students’ interest was held online rather than in an auditorium and took place rather late after the beginning of the academic year and close to a critical exam session.

Telemedicine Booths for Screening Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Prospective Multicenter Study

Telemedicine Booths for Screening Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Prospective Multicenter Study

In this study, we assessed the feasibility and interest of using the consult station telemedicine booth for self-screening during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was a particular need for remote medical services. The booths were placed in several vaccination centers throughout northern France at a time when large numbers of people were coming to be vaccinated.

Assessing COVID-19 Mortality in Serbia’s Capital: Model-Based Analysis of Excess Deaths

Assessing COVID-19 Mortality in Serbia’s Capital: Model-Based Analysis of Excess Deaths

In the original preliminary dataset, released daily during the ongoing pandemic, there was an underestimation of deaths in contrast to those reported in the subsequently released yearly vital statistics [1,2]. This finding led to the recommendation to use only the final datasets from Serbia for further research.

Digital, Personalized Clinical Trials Among Older Adults, Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Directions for the Future: Aggregated Feasibility Data From Three Trials Among Older Adults

Digital, Personalized Clinical Trials Among Older Adults, Lessons Learned From the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Directions for the Future: Aggregated Feasibility Data From Three Trials Among Older Adults

By some estimates, older adults were underrepresented in research that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic [11]. Disruptions to trial conduct, recruitment, and enrollment became so common that new guidelines were put in place to modify the traditional CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) [12] diagram to account for disruptions due to COVID-19.

Changes in Physical Activity, Heart Rate, and Sleep Measured by Activity Trackers During the COVID-19 Pandemic Across 34 Countries: Retrospective Analysis

Changes in Physical Activity, Heart Rate, and Sleep Measured by Activity Trackers During the COVID-19 Pandemic Across 34 Countries: Retrospective Analysis

A systematic review highlighted the beneficial effects of PA on physical and mental health during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic [9]. The review found that engaging in regular PA helped to mitigate the negative impact of pandemic-induced stress [9]. In addition, inactive individuals were reported to have lower well-being scores and higher levels of depression and anxiety than moderately active and active individuals.

COVID-19–Related Racism and Mental Health Among Asian Americans: Integrative Review

COVID-19–Related Racism and Mental Health Among Asian Americans: Integrative Review

COVID-19 is related to an earlier viral strain that caused a smaller-scale pandemic in November 2002 with clinical presentation of severe acute respiratory syndrome. Both phenomena originated in China, fueling the spread of misinformation and anti-Asian sentiments. Studies indicate that anti-Asian sentiments (racist sentiments, including microaggression and unconscious biases) increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic [18,20,21,24-27].

Accessibility of eHealth Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among People With and People Without Impairment: Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey

Accessibility of eHealth Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among People With and People Without Impairment: Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey

Adoption of e Health accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic [1]. Before the pandemic, we identified a disability digital divide in e Health, that is, people with impairment reported less use and more difficulty in the use of e Health, particularly with some types of impairment (language impairments and intellectual impairments) [2]. Sustainable development [3], legislation, and human rights principles [4] demand accessible e Health for all.
