We aimed to show the usefulness of haemovigilance as an effective tool to fill arboviruses surveillance gaps to track trends and identify hotspots.Methods: Within the framework of a blood bank haemovigilance program, we performed a survey to evaluate the potential threat of circulating mosquito-borne infections for transfusion safety. SLEV was detected by a PCR targeting the conserved NS5-gene region, and the PCR-product was subjected to direct nucleotide sequencing reaction.Results: The SLEV-strain detected in the blood donor (OR236721) clustered with previously reported CbaAr-4005, 79 V-2533, and MN413675 isolated in Córdoba (2005, epidemic), Santa Fe (1979, non-epidemic) and Buenos Aires (2013, non-epidemic), with 97% identity.Conclusions: Herein, we show the usefulness of haemovigilance in uncovering the silent circulation of arboviral infections. Implementing this systematic surveillance approach would allow for monitoring the distribution and incidence of vector-borne diseases, providing information that could prevent the spread of the virus and its introduction into novel biomes. Ultimately, leveraging haemovigilance enables timely identification of potential outbreaks and empowers policymakers to make well-informed decisions to safeguard public health.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142752709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a previous study, we demonstrated an increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) between 2000 and 2010 in Northeast Germany. The purpose of this study is to investigate prevalence trends of T2D treatment, dyslipidemia and hepatic steatosis in Northeast Germany.Methods: The baseline examinations of the first Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) project were carried out from 1997 to 2001 (SHIP-START-0, 4308 subjects). A second, independent random sample of the same region was enrolled between 2008 and 2012 (SHIP-TREND-0, 4420 subjects). All data were standardized with post-stratification weighting derived from the adult population of the German federal state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.Results: The prevalence of metformin intake increased from 2.1% to 4.1% and insulin use from 2.0% to 2.8%. While the prevalence of statin intake increased from 6.8% to 12.2%, the prevalence of dyslipidemia decreased slightly from 49.0% in SHIP-START-0 to 45.5% in SHIP-TREND-0. The prevalence of hepatic steatosis increased from 29.7% to 37.3%. This increase was most prominently observed in women and younger age groups.Conclusions: T2D, dyslipidemia and hepatic steatosis are common and increasing health problems among adults in Northeast Germany. Reassuring healthy diet and controlling obesity may result in prevention of above-mentioned health problems.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142752708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ordinary and logistic regressions were used to examine the temporal relations between changes in purpose and changes in health over both the same 4-year period and over the subsequent 8 years.Results: A decline in health was associated with a 5% standard deviation decline (95% confidence interval -0.08, -0.02) in purpose over the same 4-year period. In contrast, there was no evidence that a decline in purpose was associated with a subsequent decline in health.Conclusions: The results fail to support the hypothesis that life purpose causes subsequent morbidity but support the hypothesis that a decline in health causes a decline in purpose.

To inform policy development, we examine the policy effect using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C), employing longitudinal data for over 17 200 individuals.Methods: The effect of MUP on AUDIT-C scores is inferred by employing difference-in-difference regression. Pre- and post-intervention alcohol behaviours of individuals from Scotland are compared to a matched 'control' from England. Drinking at hazardous and harmful levels could be identified, as well as the frequency of alcohol consumption, number of drinks and heavy episodic drinking. Estimates adjust for demographic, socioeconomic and health characteristics. Potential inequalities by gender, age and household income are examined.Results: MUP led to an estimated 5.3% reduction in the number of drinks consumed on drinking occasions, though a statistically significant effect on overall reported AUDIT-C scores or drinking at hazardous levels was not detected, with few differential effects for subgroups.Conclusions: Differences in the findings of this research compared to other studies may be explained by differences in population coverage collected in the survey data, compared to more comprehensive, population-wide administrative data, as well as sample attrition.","PeriodicalId":94107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of public health (Oxford, England)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142712298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
