Effect of retirement on self-rated oral health and dental services use: longitudinal fixed-effects instrumental variable study in 31 countries
CONCLUSIONS: Using a quasi-experimental design, we found that transition to retirement lowers self-rated oral health and increases the use of dental services. Retirement effects appeared heterogeneous across sexes, type of previous labor, and health systems.PMID:38088923 | DOI:10.5271/sjweh.4134 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health)

Genetic diversity of Echinococcus multilocularis specimens isolated from Belgian patients with alveolar echinococcosis using EmsB microsatellites analysis
This study also highlights that some specimens share the same EmsB profile with profiles characterized in red foxes from north Belgium, The Netherland, Luxembourg and French department near to the Belgian border. Furthermore, Belgian specimens present a genetic diversity and include one profile that don't share similarities with the ones referenced in the EWET database. However, at this geographical scale, there is no clear correlation between EmsB profiles and geographical location. Further studies including additional clinical samples and isolates from foxes and rodents of south Belgium are necessary to better understand...

Economic Performance, Happiness, and Sustainable Development in OECD Countries
AbstractEconomic progress has pushed human beings to pay greater attention on their happiness, and various indicators to measure it have been created with the OECD ’s Better Life Index one of the most famous. This research uses the entropy method to divide the original 20 items of the Better Life Index into four categories (economic, environmental, social, and well-being). The Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations in recent years also include the same four aspects. Therefore, this study evaluates the efficiency performance of the 34 OECD member countries under these factors from 2013 to 2017 and an...

Risk and protective factors of mental health in children in residential care: A nationwide study from Luxembourg
CONCLUSIONS: Using a national sample of children in residential care in Luxembourg, this research indicates that subjective well-being, internalising problems, and externalising problems are distinct but related aspects of mental health. 'Child participation' and 'school pressure' displayed strong links with positive mental health outcomes and may serve as a potential path for improving public health interventions for children in care.PMID:37922618 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106522 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

The SYSCID map: a graphical and computational resource of molecular mechanisms across rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and inflammatory bowel disease
Chronic inflammatory diseases (CIDs), including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are thought to emerge from an impaired complex network of inter- and intracellular biochemical interactions among several proteins and small chemical compounds under strong influence of genetic and environmental factors. CIDs are characterised by shared and disease-specific processes, which is reflected by partially overlapping genetic risk maps and pathogenic cells (e.g., T cells). Their pathogenesis involves a plethora of intracellular pathways. The translation of the research...

Importance of arsenic bioaccessibility in health risk assessment based on iron "Minette" rocks and related soils

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTotal element concentrations by themselves are not always good predictors of toxicity and are therefore not suitable for eco- and/or human toxicological risk determination. In addition, despite the growing call for harmonization, countries show significant variation in risk assessment tools, screening/background values, protocols and legal management of soils. By incorporating mobility and bioaccessibility/availability into soil risk assessments, location-specific physico-chemical and geological conditions can b...

Omicron new variant BA.2.86 (Pirola): Epidemiological, biological, and clinical characteristics - a global data-based analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The new Omicron variant BA.2.86 has affected 264 people in 23 countries. The disease is more common in females than males and mainly affects old age people (over 60 years of age). However, no deaths have been reported. The variant is spreading swiftly and transmitted more rapidly. The clinical manifestations in patients with Omicron BA.2.86 variant are not well documented and may be similar to earlier strains of COVID-19 by presenting with mild infectious symptoms, including headache, body ache, cough, fever, generalized myalgia, and severe fatigue. The global health authorities must take preventive measures t...
