This qualitative study explores how HIV-related stigma affects daily practice when HIV knowledge is high.Methods: HCPs from HIV care facilities in French-speaking Switzerland-administrative staff, nurses, and physicians-were invited to be interviewed by a team trained in qualitative methods using semi-structured guides. Interview transcripts were analysed with IRaMuTeQ software.Results: Ten interviews were completed before data saturation was reached. Three themes emerged: 1) clinic reception, 2) care provision for PWH, and 3) HIV knowledge. Administrative staff described challenges in maintaining patient anonymity. These included not greeting people by name and organising appointment schedules so people from shared social groups never meet at the clinic, thus avoiding HIV-status-sharing by inference. Physicians described underestimating stigma experienced by PWH and cited time constraints during consultations to address this. All groups felt that stigma persists due to limited HIV knowledge among the general public and non-specialist HCPs.Conclusion: Even with good HIV knowledge, HIV-stigma impacts HCP practice and care provision. Efforts to protect anonymity may unintentionally reinforce rather than address HIV-stigma. While improving public and HCP HIV knowledge reduces enacted HIV-stigma, collaborative interventions between HCP sectors and with PWH could help to adapt HCP practices.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"71 ","pages":"1609379"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13065731/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147673422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyses included confirmatory factor analysis, MGCFA, and alignment optimization with Monte Carlo evaluation.

MGCFA supported scalar invariance for gender, education, and study samples. Alignment optimization exhibited acceptable non-invariance (2.8%-25% of parameters), primarily in intercepts. Women and individuals with higher education showed higher health literacy; young adults exhibited higher levels than older cohorts.Conclusion: The Finnish HLS-Q12 supported subgroup comparisons for population monitoring, with largely adequate measurement invariance across key sociodemographic groups.

This study synthesized global evidence on heat-related renal outcomes in non-Mesoamerican, non-agricultural populations, with a focus on differences by sex.Methods: A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Eligible studies reported sex-stratified renal outcomes and were conducted in non-Mesoamerican, non-agricultural populations. Data were extracted in duplicate and summarized descriptively.Results: Twenty-one studies from ten countries met the inclusion criteria. Heat exposure was associated with increased risks of acute kidney injury, nephrolithiasis, and urinary tract infections. Men generally showed greater vulnerability to acute kidney injury and stone-related outcomes, whereas women more often demonstrated heat-related increases in urinary tract infections.Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the risk of heat-related renal morbidity is not confined to the traditionally studied Mesoamerican male agricultural workforce but may also represent an emerging health concern in urban and metropolitan settings. These sex-specific patterns highlight the need for gender-responsive approaches in heat-renal research and public health planning.","PeriodicalId":14322,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Health","volume":"71 ","pages":"1609356"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13056881/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147645209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vaccination records for tetanus-diphtheria (Td), tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap), hepatitis B, influenza, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were retrieved from electronic health records and the National Vaccination Tracking System. Women attending all four scheduled antenatal care visits were classified as having complete antenatal care. Descriptive analyses, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression analysis were performed.Results: Overall, 89.7% of pregnant women received at least one vaccine. Complete vaccination rates were 79.7% for Td/Tdap, while complete hepatitis B immunization status was observed in 9.8%, and complete COVID-19 vaccination in 10.7%. Two-thirds (66.4%) completed antenatal care visits. Complete antenatal care was independently associated with higher odds of vaccination during pregnancy (aOR = 2.91, 95% CI: 1.91-4.44), having a lifetime immunization record (aOR = 3.12, 95% CI: 1.74-5.61) and complete Td/Tdap vaccination (aOR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.57-2.98).Conclusion: Maternal vaccination coverage in Türkiye remains below international targets except for Td/Tdap. Greater continuity of structured antenatal care and continuity of care visits may be associated with higher maternal vaccination uptake.

Biological age (BA) was estimated with a deep neural network using 36 circulating biomarkers, and Δage (BA-chronological age) served as an index of biological aging.Results: In men, wine consumption, at doses defined moderate by a current MD Score, was associated with slower biological aging (Δage β = -0.39; 95%CI: -0.78, -0.01 vs. abstainers).
