Impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on mental health: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in England and Scotland

Manuel Serrano-Alarcon et al.

Summary: The study found that easing lockdown measures rapidly improves mental health, particularly for individuals with lower socioeconomic status. Overall, mental health appears to be more affected by containment policies than by the actual evolution of the pandemic itself. Further efforts are needed to minimize the negative impact of COVID-19 containment policies on mental health.

COVID-19 and neurological disorders: are neurodegenerative or neuroimmunological diseases more vulnerable?

Luigi Ferini-Strambi et al.

Summary: COVID-19 infection can influence the presentation of neurological disorders and future diseases, with age potentially playing a key role in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease, while neuropathology may be more critical in neuroimmunological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.

Staying 'Covid-safe': Proposals for embedding behaviours that protect against Covid-19 transmission in the UK

Susan Michie et al.

Summary: Embedding 'Covid-safe' behaviours into people's everyday routines will require a coordinated programme to shape the financial, physical, and social infrastructure in the United Kingdom. Education, regulation, communications, social marketing, and provision of resources will be required to ensure that all sections of society have the capability, opportunity, and motivation to enact the behaviours long term.

Politics, Pushback, and Pandemics: Challenges to Public Health Orders in the 1918 Influenza Pandemic

J. Alexander Navarro et al.

Summary: The article explores the similarities between acts of protest during the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic and the current COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. It suggests that the motivations for pushback against public health measures during the 2020 pandemic are more politically driven compared to a century ago.

Impact of home confinement during COVID-19 pandemic on sleep parameters in Parkinson's disease

Niraj Kumar et al.

Summary: The study reveals a significant impact of home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep quality of PD patients, with some reporting new-onset or worsening sleep disturbances. Lack of family support, prolonged home confinement, and longer duration of PD are risk factors for the onset of sleep disturbances, while engaging in physical activity for over an hour per day and adopting new hobbies may contribute to better sleep quality.

Mind the gap: Inequalities in mental health care and lack of social support in Parkinson disease

Indu Subramanian et al.

Summary: Inequalities in mental healthcare and lack of social support during the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the challenges faced by people with Parkinson's. Issues such as lack of awareness, disparities based on race, gender, and socioeconomic factors, and stigma surrounding mental illness are major barriers. To address these problems, a community-based wellness model is suggested to extend mental healthcare resources to those with Parkinson's.

Deriving Implications for Care Delivery in Parkinson's Disease by Co-Diagnosing Caregivers as Invisible Patients

Franziska Thieken et al.

Summary: The loss of autonomy in daily life for persons with Parkinson's disease results in a high level of dependency on relatives' support, leading to stress and psychosocial burden in informal caregivers. The growing need for medical and nursing care is not adequately met, resulting in unpaid or underpaid work of informal caregivers. This double burden creates health-related impairments for caregivers, making them invisible patients themselves.

Summary: This study estimated the real-world effectiveness of Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 and Oxford-AstraZeneca ChAdOx1-S vaccines against confirmed COVID-19 symptoms, hospital admissions, and deaths. The vaccines showed significant reduction in symptomatic COVID-19 among older adults and further protection against severe disease. Both vaccines demonstrated similar effects and protection was maintained for over 6 weeks.

Correlates of Psychological Distress in Patients with Parkinson's Disease During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Rosa De Micco et al.

Summary: This study assessed the psychological impact of a 40-day quarantine on patients with Parkinson's disease and caregivers, revealing significant associations between anxiety levels, treatment-related complications, quality of life, and hours spent in quarantine. Caregiver burden was also correlated with patient autonomy and cognitive impairment. These findings highlight the importance of considering pre-lockdown clinical features in understanding patients' responses to traumatic events and planning post-pandemic interventions.
