Risultati per: AGA: linee guida sulla de-prescrizione degli inibitori della pompa protonica

We are deeply honored to write this tribute for Dr James R. Goldenring, MD, PhD, AGAF, the 2023 recipient of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Distinguished Achievement Award in Basic Science. In the nominating letter penned by one of us (G.H.), we highlighted how Jim is an outstanding physician-scientist, recognized for contributions to 2 different fields, that is, understanding the role of Rab GTPases in the control of intracellular membrane trafficking and the origin and progression of gastric metaplasia and cancer.

We are pleased to report that the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) has elected to honor our colleague and friend, Dr Anil Rustgi, as the recipient of the 2023 William Beaumont Prize in Gastroenterology. The prize was initially given every 3 years and has been awarded annually since 2015; it “recognizes an individual who has made a major contribution that has significantly advanced the care of patients with digestive diseases through clinical or translational research.”1 Dr Rustgi’s research track record and accomplishments are reflected perfectly by the prize selection criteria, as he has been a world class investigator and gastroenterology leader for more than 3 decades.

Objective
To evaluate the SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among local authority workers, depending on their position and potential interaction with the public.

Methods
A cohort of volunteer participants was recruited among local authority workers of the Centre Val de Loire region in France, to be tested using a rapid serological test (COVID-PRESTO). The collected data were analysed by comparing different parameters including, gender, age, position held, and contact or not with the public. The study was carried out from August to December 2020 and included 3228 participants (n=3228), from 18 to 65 years old.

Results
The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among local authority workers was estimated at 3.04%. No significant difference could be observed according to the position held by the workers and whether they were or not in contact with the public. Nevertheless, a significant difference was observed between the different investigating centres, in correlation with the geographical location.

Conclusion
Contact with members of the public was not a critical parameter for SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence as long as protective measures are applied. Among the population included in the study, childcare workers were more at risk of getting infected by the virus.
