    Abstract Objective: This paper summarizes and evaluates a test-based strategy for early return to work for health-care workers (HCWs) with mild coronavirus disease in Brunei Darussalam during the Omicron wave in February 2022 and compares the characteristics of HCWs by how long it took them to return to work.
    Methods: The early return-to-work strategy involved testing on day 3 of infection with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and with a rapid antigen test on days 5 and 6 or days 5 and 7. Data about infected HCWs were extracted from the Ministry of Health's public health surveillance database. Percentages and proportions were used for descriptive statistics, and Pearson's χ
    Results: From 15 February to 15 March 2022, a total of 1121 HCWs were notified as being infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Of these, 175 (15.6%) were able to return to work on day 4 of their infection, 153 (13.6%) on day 6 and 268 (23.9%) on day 7; 525 (46.8%) required 10 days of home isolation. Statistically significant associations were observed between return-to-work periods and occupational group (
    Discussion: This test-based strategy ensured a balance between mitigating a shortage of HCWs and enabling them to return to work early without compromising their safety and that of their patients.

    Abstract Initial-and-final-state opacity (IFO) is a type of opacity that characterizes a system's ability to prevent the disclosure of information about whether its evolution starts at an initial state and ends at a final state. In this paper, we extend the notion of IFO from the logical automata to the framework of unambiguous weighted automata (UWAs) that do not contain any cycle composed solely of unobservable events. For the verification of IFO, we first construct a labeled observer and a trellis-based initial state estimator for a given UWA. Even though the labeled observer has much smaller state space compared to the trellis-based initial state estimator, it cannot be used when the set of secret state pairs or the set of non-secret state pairs is not in the Cartesian product form. Based on the labeled observer, we present a more efficient method to verify IFO in the case when the set of non-secret state pairs is expressed as a Cartesian product, regardless of whether the set of secret state pairs is in the Cartesian product form. Furthermore, we use the labeled observer to verify initial-state opacity for a UWA.

    Abstract Introduction: The World Professional Association for Transgender Health has recently updated its Standards of Care (SOC) clinical guidelines for the transgender and gender diverse (TGD) population. This article aims to outline the 2012 SOC for surgical management of TGD people and describe the changes to the surgical management guidelines in this year's update.
    Methods and results: The surgical management guidelines between the 7th and 8th SOC were compared and contrasted. The 8th SCO included language that broadened surgical interventions and emphasized the new responsibilities of surgeons. Major changes include reducing the number of letters of referral by a mental health provider to one for those choosing to undergo surgical treatment.
    Conclusions: The latest surgical management guidelines for the TGD population emphasizes a holistic approach utilizing a multidisciplinary team in both pre- and postoperative settings.

    Abstract Purpose: As the field of digital education expands, it is important to understand the benefit to the creator of such resources as well as the user. This study sought to understand the resident's experience with writing a medical podcast script in contrast to creating lecture-based teaching presentations. We aimed to explore the motivation behind the resident's voluntary participation and provide an example and framework to residency programs looking to enhance their resident as teacher curricula with the use of digital education.
    Materials and methods: Using constructivist grounded theory, residents who completed a podcast script for "The Intern at Work," a learner-generated podcast series, were recruited to partake. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, and coded iteratively with the use of constant comparison until theoretical sufficiency was achieved.
    Results: Residents (
    Conclusion: Our findings provide an example of an innovative teaching activity that intrinsically motivated residents. Such information has the potential to inform program leaders on how to foster resident motivation to teach.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Atopic dermatitis (AD) remains a dermatological disease that imposes a significant burden on society. Air pollution has previously been linked to both the onset and severity of atopic dermatitis. As air pollution remains a critical environmental factor impacting human health, this review seeks to provide an overview of the relationship between different air pollutants and AD.
    Recent findings: AD can develop from multiple causes that can be broadly grouped into epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. Air pollution imposes significant health risks and includes a wide variety of pollutant types. AD has been linked to outdoor air pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOC), gaseous compounds, and heavy metals. Exposure to indoor pollutants such as tobacco smoke and fungal molds has also been associated with an increased incidence of AD. While different pollutants impact distinct molecular pathways in the cell, they mostly converge on ROS product, DNA damage, and dysregulated T-cell activity and cytokine production. The presented review suggests a strengthening tie between air pollution and AD. It points to opportunities for further studies to clarify, as well as potential therapeutic opportunities that leverage the mechanistic relationships between air pollution and AD.
