These join four previously published papers that continue to catch readers\u2019 attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In eighth place, Bolijn <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> investigate sex differences in the prevalence of major and minor electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in a multi-ethnic population living in Amsterdam. They find that women have an overall lower age-adjusted prevalence of major ECG abnormalities than men. However, they report that sex differences in the prevalence of major ECG abnormalities are smaller in the ethnic minority groups than in the Dutch, particularly in older age groups. Given the association of major ECG abnormalities with cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, they highlight patient groups who may benefit from prevention strategies to reduce the future burden of CVD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In at number five, we have a comparative, descriptive analysis of payments disclosed on drug company and charity regulator websites. Ozieranski <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> find that both donors and recipients under-reported payments in 2012\u20132016. As a result, the authors question whether publicly available payment disclosures effectively address concerns about conflicts of interests resulting from industry payments. They call for increased standardisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two new entries look at prescribing practices. In their communication article, Nutt <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. discuss the barriers to prescribing medical cannabis in the UK in an attempt to understand why the UK lags behind many other countries who have also legalised cannabis-based products for medicinal use. Kua<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> et al.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> qualitatively explore the perspectives of health professionals towards deprescribing practice in Asian nursing homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Given the current climate, it is unsurprising to see September\u2019s most popular article relates to the global pandemic. In their prospective cohort study, Mancuso <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. report that 60.6% of positive SARS-CoV-2 cases diagnosed before 22 March in Reggio Emilia, Italy, achieved viral clearance (which was measured as the first negative swab) by 22 April 2020. Median time to viral clearance was found to be 30 days from diagnosis and 36 days from symptom onset. Their results suggest that follow-up testing should be done after more than four\u2009weeks once patients are symptom-free, which is contrary to most current regional surveillance protocol recommendations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In case you missed them first time around, here\u2019s the full list:<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 970px\" width=\"714\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Rank*\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Author(s)\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Title<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mancuso <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/10\/8\/e040380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Temporal profile and determinants of viral shedding and of viral clearance confirmation on nasopharyngeal swabs from SARS-CoV-2-positive subjects: a population-based prospective cohort study in Reggio Emilia, Italy<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">McAloon <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/10\/8\/e039652\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Incubation period of COVID-19: a rapid systematic review and meta-analysis of observational research\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Byrne <\/span><\/em><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/10\/7\/e039120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Injection Molded Autoclavable, Scalable, Conformable (iMASC) system for aerosol-based protection: a prospective single-arm feasibility study\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Liu <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/10\/7\/e039519\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Intravenous high-dose vitamin C for the treatment of severe COVID-19: study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ozieranski <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/10\/9\/e037351\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under-reported relationship: a comparative study of pharmaceutical industry and patient organisation payment disclosures in the UK (2012-2016)\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kua <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/9\/10\/e030106\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perspectives of health professionals towards deprescribing practice in Asian nursing homes: a qualitative interview study\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nutt <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/10\/9\/e038687\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So near yet so far: why wont the UK prescribe medical cannabis?<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bolijn <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">et al.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/10\/9\/e039091\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do sex differences in the prevalence of ECG abnormalities vary across ethnic groups living in the Netherlands?
