Estimating averted illnesses from influenza vaccination for children and pregnant women - El Salvador, Panama, and Peru, 2011-2018
DISCUSSION: Influenza vaccination campaigns in El Salvador, Panama, and Peru conducted between 2011 and 2018 prevented hundreds to thousands of influenza-associated hospitalizations and illnesses in young children and pregnant women. Existing vaccination programs could prevent additional illnesses, using the same number of vaccines, by achieving the highest possible coverage within the first two months of an influenza vaccine campaign.PMID:38584055 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.04.007 (Source: Vaccine)

National taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages and its association with overweight, obesity, and diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Taxation is highly heterogeneous across countries in terms of products and design, which might influence its effectiveness. Our findings provide some evidence regarding a deceleration of the increasing prevalence rates of overweight and obesity among children occurring in some countries following introduction of taxation.

Do reasons for migration impact the elements of asylum applications? An investigation of participants in the 2018 “migrant caravan”.
Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, Vol 30(2), May 2024, 197-205; doi:10.1037/law0000407As migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers continue to arrive at the Mexico–U.S. border and solutions to this situation remain elusive, growing opportunities exist for research to inform policy decisions. One policy implemented (and subsequently rescinded) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was to limit asylum claims to only those individuals who experienced abuse or maltreatment at the hands of government officials, limiting protections for those fleeing gang violence or abuse inflicted by family members. We surveyed 515 migr...

Interactive microsurgical anatomy education using photogrammetry 3D models and an augmented reality cube
CONCLUSIONS: The AR cube combines tactile and visual sensations with high-resolution 3D models of cadaveric dissections. Inexpensive and lightweight, the cube can be effectively implemented to allow independent co-visualization of anatomical dissection and can potentially supplement neurosurgical education.PMID:38277660 | DOI:10.3171/2023.10.JNS23516 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)
