The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns were accompanied by an abrupt transition from face-to-face education to online education. aim of this study was evaluate the impact on academic functioning and mood in Dutch pharmacy students PhD candidates. A total n = 341 participants completed survey including questions functioning, assessed retrospectively for before during pandemic. Overall, lockdown, significantly more time spent activities, grades/output improved. However, overall effects small magnitude, there great variability among students, reporting either improved, unchanged or poorer functioning. Compared COVID-19, lockdown periods associated with increased levels stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, loneliness, a significant reduction optimism happiness.

The alcohol hangover is defined as the combination of negative mental and physical symptoms that can be experienced after a single episode consumption, starting when blood concentration (BAC) approaches zero. Alcohol such fatigue, nausea, headache negatively affect daily activities, including work performance. therefore cause both absenteeism (not going to work) presenteeism (going while hungover). An online survey among convenience sample n = 347 Dutch adults examined number days associated with having well loss productivity hungover during year 2019. In sample, 8.1% employees reported one or more due in 2019, 33.4% presenteeism. analyses revealed was 0.2 8.3 24.9% on worked hangover. estimated costs for economy 2019 (EUR 234,538,460) 2,423,603,184) total EUR 2,658,141,644. conclusion, absenteeism, presenteeism, reduced performance at hungover. As such, annual have significant impact economy. However, these first findings economic should considered rough estimate.

Quality of life (QoL) is traditionally assessed using multiple-item questionnaires. These can be either general, global assessments QoL or disease-specific However, the use single-item scales becoming increasingly popular, as these are more time- and cost-effective, with a readily available easy-to-interpret outcome. In particular, often preferred for quick (e.g., 'at home' testing mobile phone assessments), other cases when time constraints common clinical trials practice). Previous research revealed that questionnaires have same validity reliability. Here we further evaluate relationship QoL, scale, well-being, mood, health correlates immune fitness, having underlying diseases), lifestyle sleep, nutrition).

Pandemic preparedness is an important issue in relation to future pandemics. The two studies described here aimed identify factors predicting the presence and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms. CLOFIT study comprised online survey among Dutch population (n = 1415). Perceived immune fitness before pandemic (2019) during first lockdown period (15 March-11 May 2020) number COVID-19 symptoms were assessed. COTEST study, conducted between December 2020 June 2021, replicated n 925 participants who tested for severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) commercial test locations. revealed that was greatest predictor (20.1% 19.8%, respectively). Other significant predictors included (5.5% 7.1%, respectively), having underlying diseases (0.4% 0.5%, In those positive SARS-CoV-2, single (27.2%) (33.1%) pandemic. conclusion, strongest Therefore, development strategies maintain adequate must be regarded as essential component preparedness.

The aim of this study was to explore the effects 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown on mood states, stress, alcohol consumption and perceived immune fitness in a Dutch sample. Analysis included subsample from "Corona Lockdown: how fit are you?" (CLOFIT) study, comprising N = 761 participants who reported consuming 2020. Results show that, compared pre-lockdown, first COVID-19 (March 2020) associated with experiencing poorer (e.g., anxiety, depression, loneliness, fatigue) increased stress levels. Among younger (18 35 years old), significant decrease weekly found during lockdown, which not older individuals. For age cohort significantly correlated (r 0.163, p 0.003), turn, reporting -0.165, 0.002). Poorer increases presence severity symptoms -0.313, < 0.001, r -0.325, respectively). data provides evidence for relationships between changes mood, supports model that links these susceptibility symptoms.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether or not living alone together throughout the lockdown had an impact on mood, perceived immune fitness, as well presence and severity COVID-19 symptoms.N = 505 participants completed online survey, which included questions situations, fitness symptom severity. These factors were assessed retrospectively for time periods before during pandemic.An overall decrease in mood observed both those period. However, significantly larger increases feelings loneliness group alone. Furthermore, groups reported decreases whereas only a significant increase Moreover, correlations found between anxiety, loneliness. strongest Lastly, positive outcomes with being active, optimistic ability cope stress. Increased optimism, more active adequate stress associated reduced negative fitness.The first period Netherlands challenging people who lived together, resulting poorer fitness. Those were, however, heavily impacted by restrictions. This further reflected increased symptoms Netherlands.

In addition to developing effective medicines and vaccines, pandemic preparedness also comprises general health-related, behavioral, psychological aspects related being more resistant in the case of future pandemics. context 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, recent research revealed that reduced perceived immune fitness was best predictor reporting frequent severe COVID-19 symptoms. Up until now (June 2022), during majority patients who have been hospitalized were characterized as overweight. It is therefore essential further evaluate relationship between body mass index (BMI) fitness. This performed by analyzing pooled data from previously published studies, conducted among N = 8586 Dutch adults. hypothesized attaining a normal, healthy weight associated with optimal The analysis deviation normal (i.e., having BMI outside range 18.5 24.9 kg/m2) significantly fitness, assessed status questionnaire single item scale. effects significant for both underweight overweight groups most pronounced obese groups. results suggest might contribute maintaining adequate Therefore, be an component should supported creating awareness promoting importance regular exercise consumption food.

Mixed results have been published on the impact of 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its associated lockdown periods academic functioning, mood, health correlates such as alcohol consumption. Whereas a number students report an impaired performance increased intake during periods, other no change or improvement in functioning reduced This data descriptor article describes dataset study investigating COVID-19 functioning. To investigate this, online survey was conducted among Dutch pharmacy students, PhD candidates postdoctoral researchers (postdocs) Utrecht University, Netherlands. Compared to before pandemic, assessed possible changes self-reported mood consumption, perceived immune sleep quality. Retrospective assessments were made for four including (1) year (the period COVID-19), (2) first (15 March–11 May 2020), (3) summer 2020 (no lockdown) (4) second (November 2020–April 2021). content corresponding dataset.

Background: Activation of TLR3 receptors, which are sensitive to viral infection, has emerged as a possible mechanism that increases alcohol intake in rodents.Objectives: These studies examined whether history ethanol dependence exacerbated the increase drinking driven by agonist poly I:C.Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice (>10 per group) were given access (20% v/v) 2 hours day following home cage or after having been rendered ethanol-dependent using chronic intermittent (CIE) vapor model. After testing multiple doses, 5 mg/kg repeated I:C challenge was used probe effects immune challenge, alone conjunction with cycles CIE, on voluntary drinking. An (12% operant self-administration model test stress-induced reinstatement seeking and consumption.Results: Poly naive animals resulted transient, modest (p < 0.05). However, sensitized consumption evoked strong persistent escalation 0.05 for both).Conclusion: defense may affect sensitivity future stressors. As patients who suffer from use disorder at heightened risk this interaction could generate factors exacerbating behaviors associated Alcohol Use Disorders via an mechanism.
