This study aimed to assess the potential of T cell response monitoring in children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: We compared antibody and T cell-mediated immune responses in a subpopulation (n = 109) of children and adolescents from the Ciao Corona cohort study. Participants were followed up over 6 months, from November/December 2021 to June/July 2022, during the Delta and Omicron waves in Switzerland.Results: Circulating, virus-specific T cell responses in children and adolescents were generally low and heterogeneous. T cell-mediated responses were not consistent with SARS-CoV-2 infection status, with responses detectable in some seronegative individuals and not detectable in a considerable number of seropositive participants.Conclusion: Circulating, virus-specific T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 in children and adolescents from the general population offer limited additional insight. Monitoring humoral immunity is likely a more cost-effective approach and should be the primary focus of immunological surveillance in the general paediatric population.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608612"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12489368/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145232603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus was on reviews of heat-related diseases published within the past 30 years in the German and English languages. A qualitative synthesis of the results was conducted.Results: The literature search produced a total of 737 results. A total of 15 reviews were included in the synthesis. As a result of the synthesis, a spectrum of heat-related diseases such as electrolyte imbalances, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, respiratory disease, mental health issues, infectious diseases and other diseases were identified. Furthermore, specific climatic and other influencing factors were determined.Conclusion: The meta-review highlighted a wide range of diseases that can occur in connection with heat, along with their influencing factors.

Wellbeing scores were similar across sex, age, ethnicity, education, employment, BMI, tobacco, and alcohol use. Scores varied by marital status, financial strain, self-rated health, chronic illness, physical activity, loneliness, stress, anxiety, and depression risk.

While 82.5% accepted the medical definition of brain death, only 53.6% prioritized quality of life over life preservation. Students identified medical knowledge (96.3%) as the most influential factor shaping their attitudes, followed by ethical (66.2%) and religious (45.4%) views. Regression analysis showed that religiosity and age were associated with support for sustaining life functions, while liberal views and a nursing background correlated with greater support for overriding family objections and discontinuing futile therapy.Conclusion: Education in up-to-date medical knowledge should place greater emphasis on professional ethics, legal frameworks, and real-life bioethical dilemmas to better prepare students for clinical challenges.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"70 ","pages":"1608625"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12425832/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145064504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
