Spatiotemporal spread of tick-borne encephalitis in the EU/EEA, 2012 to 2020
ConclusionA close monitoring of ongoing changes to the TBE epidemiological situation in Europe can support the timely adaption of vaccination recommendations. Further analyses to identify populations and geographical areas where vaccination programmes can be of benefit are needed.PMID:36927718 | PMC:PMC10021474 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.11.2200543 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Oral microbiome variations related to ageing: possible implications beyond oral health
Arch Microbiol. 2023 Mar 15;205(4):116. doi: 10.1007/s00203-023-03464-5.ABSTRACTThe global population is getting older due to a combination of longer life expectancy and declining birth rates. Growing evidence suggests that the oral microbiota composition and distribution may have a profound effect on how well we age. The purpose of this study was to investigate age-related oral microbiome variations of supragingival plaque and buccal mucosa samples in the general population in Latvia. Our results indicated significant difference between supragingival plaque bacterial profiles of three age groups (20-40; 40-60; 60 + years)...

Inventory and analysis of literature on the organisation of eight European academic medical centres —A scoping review
by Ester M. M. Cardinaal, Heleen N. W. Duighuisen, Patrick P. T. Jeurissen, Hubert Berden
Academic Medical Centres (AMCs) are important organisations for shaping healthcare. The purpose of this scoping review is to understand the scope and type of evidence related to the organisation of European AMCs. We selected the study population intending to obtain a demographic cross-section of E uropean countries: Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK. We focused our search strategy on the relationship between medical schools and AMCs, the organisation of governing bodies, and legal owne...

Air pollution situation in small towns, including winter resorts: a comparative study of three cases in Northern Europe
AbstractIn Europe, emissions of many air pollutants have decreased in recent decades, but there exist sites where concentrations of pollutants are still high and have become a public health problem. The air quality monitoring networks include urban stations in big cities and rural background stations. Main pollutants (SO2, NOx, CO, particulate matter) are measured automatically and reported on hourly basis, but there is very few research about air quality in small towns. The small towns are important transport nodes between cities and nowadays they are growing bigger, often being focused on seasonal tourism. In this paper,...

Trauma ‐informed care in childcare organisations to support children exposed to child maltreatment: Joint conclusions of four European countries
AbstractTrauma-informed care is emerging as a promising good practice to recognise, treat and prevent trauma in young children. The use of trauma-informed care in childcare organisations might have a positive impact on children who suffer from child maltreatment. The current study organised desk research and focus group discussions with professional experts in Latvia, Italy, Hungary and Belgium to assess if trauma-informed care is known, applied or taught. The joint conclusions of the desk research and the focus group discussions demonstrated that childcare professionals currently lack the knowledge, skills and attitude to...
