Interpreter services for immigrants in European healthcare systems: a systematic review of access barriers and facilitators
CONCLUSION: Immigrant patients and healthcare professionals experience barriers in using interpreter services due to restrictive policies regarding user fees and limitations to entitlement to interpreters, a limited number of qualified interpreters and lack of knowledge. Medical encounters with unaddressed language barriers can put patients at risk and reduce quality of care for immigrants, which calls for strengthening formal and informal access to interpreters.PMID:37698073 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231179279

Health care use after severe respiratory tract infections in children aged 0 to 5 years
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings imply a slightly increased health care use among infants after a hospital visit for COVID-19 than among infants with other RTIs, the potential etiological mechanisms of which deserve future clinical research. Severe COVID-19 in young children will not represent any markedly increased burden on the health services.PMID:37698056 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231197250

Analysis of the association between osteoporosis and muscle strength in Korean adults: a national cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that osteoporosis was likely to contribute to an increased prevalence rate of LMS in terms of HGS. Aging, BMI, and renal function also had significant effects on the association between osteoporosis and LMS. This association is likely to assist in developing better strategies to estimate bone health in clinical or public health practice.PMID:37700322 | PMC:PMC10498644 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-023-00443-w

Money, chores and emotional support: Kenyan and Zambian fathers' perceptions of male partner involvement in maternal and infant health within the context of HIV
Cult Health Sex. 2023 Sep 11:1-16. doi: 10.1080/13691058.2023.2249078. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn sub-Saharan Africa, involving male partners in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV improves maternal and infant outcomes. Male involvement is typically conceptualised as male partners attending antenatal care, which is difficult for many men. Little is known about how men view their involvement in family health within the context of HIV, particularly outside of clinic attendance. Through interviews with 35 male partners of pregnant or postpartum women living with HIV in Kenya and Zambia, this study elic...

Auditing causality of the multiple-burden of malnutrition in India and South Africa: A critical need for directions
Public Health Nutr. 2023 Sep 11:1-7. doi: 10.1017/S1368980023001921. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDeveloping economies are shaped by the current predicament of urbanization and its impact on health is inevitable. In the post-pandemic times, India and South Africa witnessed a GDP growth rate of about 1.7% and 1.9% respectively, while the developed economies like Europe and the United States have bounced back with more than 2% GDP. The similarities and differences between India and South Africa provide potential candidates to study nutrition transition with the elements of urbanization. In both countries increased access to...
