Mixed-methods process evaluation of a residence-based SARS-CoV-2 testing participation pilot on a UK university campus during the COVID-19 pandemic

H. Blake et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the success factors of outbreak prevention and management strategies in university residences and finds that the Residence-Based Testing Participation Pilot (RB-TPP) can increase the participation rate of SARS-CoV-2 testing among university dormitory students, and the perceived normalization of university life significantly improves their mental well-being.

Dismantling myths on the airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)

J. W. Tang et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption globally, highlighting the importance of understanding the transmission mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2. Confusion over the meaning of 'airborne' in discussions of transmission stems from past evidence and mythological beliefs, but there is evidence indicating that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted through various sizes of airborne particles.

An update on developments in medical education in response to the COVID-19 pandemic: A BEME scoping review: BEME Guide No. 64

Michelle Daniel et al.

Summary: This study conducted a scoping review of the literature on developments in medical education in response to COVID-19, summarizing developments and outcomes to guide future work. The review identified areas of relative strength and gaps, highlighting the need for further research in remote learning, simulation, telehealth, interviews, and faculty development. Several studies reported outcomes at different levels of the Kirkpatrick model, with Level 1 being the most commonly reported.

Sensitivity of Rapid Antigen Testing and RT-PCR Performed on Nasopharyngeal Swabs versus Saliva Samples in COVID-19 Hospitalized Patients: Results of a Prospective Comparative Trial (RESTART)

Antonios Kritikos et al.

Summary: The RESTART study found that nasopharyngeal RT-PCR is the most accurate method for COVID-19 diagnosis in hospitalized patients, while salivary RT-PCR can be used as an alternative when nasopharyngeal swabs are not feasible. Nasopharyngeal RATs performed poorly when using the wet-swab approach, and salivary RATs exhibited very low sensitivity. Therefore, RATs are not suitable for hospitalized patients.
