The leading role of expert safety knowledge in supporting the mission of caring for patients during man-made and natural disasters: state of emergency medicine in Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Ukraine
AbstractPreparedness to endure extreme situations such as natural disasters or military conflicts is not commonplace in healthcare training programs. Moreover, multidisciplinary teams in health services rarely (if ever) include experts in security. However, when emergency situations occur, prevailing healthcare demands do not cease to exist, and unexpected demands often surge due to the shortage of other services and supplies or as a consequence of the emergency condition itself.With services in 45 countries, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) has operated in several conflict zones, facing broad and challenging security dema...

A Call to Action for Children in Hostile War-torn Conflict Zones: From Palestine, Ukraine and Beyond
World Children's Day is an opportunity to recognize children as rights holders, to acknowledge the progress that has been made for and with children, and to demand action to protect and fulfill the rights of every child (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, 2023). Unfortunately, our commemorations this year were overshadowed by ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, Congo, Myanmar, China, Pakistan, and Colombia. The most egregious of examples pertains to the conflict in Palestine between the State of Israel and Hamas, in which thousands of innocent children have tragically lost their lives in the Gaza Strip and s...

The pancreas does not contribute to the non-adrenergic-non-cholinergic stimulation of heart rate in digesting pythons

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVertebrates elevate heart rate when metabolism increases during digestion. Part of this tachycardia is due to a non-adrenergic-non-cholinergic (NANC) stimulation of the cardiac pacemaker, and it has been suggested these NANC factors are circulating hormones that are released from either gastrointestinal or endocrine glands. The NANC stimulation is particularly pronounced in species with large metabolic responses to digestion, such as reptiles. To investigate the possibility that the pancreas may rel...

Isolation and molecular characterization of lumpy skin disease virus from Tamil Nadu, India during the outbreaks from 2020 to 2022
AbstractLumpy skin disease (LSD) caused by LSD virus is a WOAH notifiable, high-impact, transboundary poxviral disease of bovines. The first official report of LSDV in India is from Odisha state during August 2019. Since then, cases have been reported from many states including Tamil Nadu, a Southern state of India. The present study deals with isolation and molecular characterization of LSDV from Tamil Nadu during the period August 2020 to July 2022. LSDV was isolated in embryonated chicken eggs (ECE) and BHK 21 cells and was characterized based onP32, RPO30, andGPCR genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that Tamil Na...

'If I'm not sick, I'm not going to see the doctor': Access to preventive sexual and reproductive health care for Karen women from refugee backgrounds living in Melbourne, Australia-A qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Findings from this study indicate that to improve access to preventive SRH services a multi-component strategy is needed. Provision of preventive SRH information using a multi-pronged approach; peer and community support interventions; and HCPs offering services and information opportunistically would benefit Karen women unfamiliar with preventive SRH care. SO WHAT?: Primary prevention services and education codesigned with community members may be effective in improving Karen women's access to SRH care.PMID:38325438 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.844 (Source: Health Promotion Journal of Australia)

Molecular identification of Opisthorchis viverrini among the northeastern Cambodian population by internal transcribed spacer 2 based polymerase chain reaction
This study demonstrates that O. viverrini infection is distributed in rural areas located near freshwater reservoirs. Therefore, active surveillance, clinical examination of association with hepatobiliary, cholangiocarcinoma, and health education are needed.PMID:38308824 | DOI:10.47665/tb.40.4.002 (Source: Tropical Biomedicine)
