Moving forward after the COVID-19 pandemic: Lessons learned in primary care from the multi-country PRICOV-19 study
CONCLUSION: Policymakers, primary care associations, and the broader healthcare system are urged to collaboratively take responsibility and increase support for GP practices to enhance their resilience, adaptability, and capacity to deliver safe and equitable healthcare during future crises.PMID:38511848 | DOI:10.1080/13814788.2024.2328716 (Source: European Journal of General Practice)

Revisiting a pollen-transmitted ilarvirus previously associated with angular mosaic of grapevine
We report the characterization of a novel tri-segmented RNA virus infecting Mercurialis annua, a common crop weed and model species in plant science. The virus, named "Mercurialis latent virus" (MeLaV) was first identified in a mixed infection with the recently described Mercurialis orthotospovirus 1 (MerV1) on symptomatic plants grown in glasshouses in Lausanne (Switzerland). Both viruses were found to be transmitted by Thrips tabaci, which presumably help the inoculation of infected pollen in the case of MeLaV. Complete genome sequencing of the latter revealed a typical ilarviral architecture and close phylogenetic relat...

The economic burden of obesity in 4 south-eastern European countries associated with obesity-related co-morbidities
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings confirm that the high prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities result in substantial financial burden to all 4 SEE public payers. By quantifying the burden of obesity from a public healthcare perspective, our study aims to support policy efforts that promote health education and promotion in combating obesity in the region.PMID:38504302 | PMC:PMC10953276 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-024-10840-4 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Women in spine surgery: can we change the society?
ConclusionWomen in surgery, mainly in neurosurgery, are being treated by society in an unequal way. Female surgeons are still discriminated because of their gender. The most patients prefer female physicians to talk to, but still believe that they are incapable to perform spine surgery. We cannot stop this until we change our mindset and perception of reality.

Copay
I surrender this portion. I pay it the way I imagine the ancient Greeks paid their tithes to stone all-seeing Zeus: half a body of cow, half my daily lot, anointed in oil, smoldering or charred. Will you remember me by the increments of what I owed you? I will remember you by the way you taught me to recognize the sun behind my dark life: butter light, kelp light, spinner and canary light. Cloud- hide-metal light. I can close my eyes and your office lamp is shedding its petals into your lap, as if a hundred sunflowers bowed their heads to your hands. (Source: JAMA)

The urological case reports of the Hippocratic Corpus : Medical practice in classical Greece
CONCLUSION: The Hippocratic physician diagnosed and treated diseases of the urinary tract. Inflammatory conditions and traumatic lesions are described in detail. Highest priority was awarded to uroscopy. Nephritis was a widespread disorder und usually associated with other symptoms, above all fever. The urinary tract was often regarded as an indicator of physical and mental health. Conservative treatment measures dominate in the case reports.PMID:38498152 | DOI:10.1007/s00120-024-02314-6 (Source: Pain Physician)
