Exposure to urban green spaces and mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on mental health globally, with limited access to mental health care affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) the most. In response, alternative strategies to support mental health have been necessary, with access to green spaces being a potential solution. While studies have highlighted the role of green spaces in promoting mental health during pandemic lockdowns, few stu…
Knowledge, practice, and infection status of prisoners toward dermatomycosis
Background Dermatophytosis, commonly known as tinea, poses a significant public health concern worldwide, especially in environments with poor hygiene and overcrowding, such as prisons. Despite its prevalence and impact on quality of life, there is a lack of research on the knowledge and hygiene practices regarding dermatophytosis among prisoners, particularly in Nepal. Objective The study aimed to assess prisoners’ knowledge, hygiene practice an…
Socio-demographic determinants of the knowledge and attitude of Nepalese healthcare workers toward human monkeypox
Human monkeypox is an infectious zoonotic disease and since May 2022, there has been a spike in cases worldwide. In this regard, a global health emergency has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on July 23rd, 2022. Although there have been no confirmed human monkeypox cases in Nepal yet, the nation is undeniably at risk of an outbreak. Despite all preventive efforts and preparedness for monkeypox, there still remain several chall…
Psychological determinants of Covid-19 vaccine acceptance among urban slum dwellers of Bangladesh
Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination has emerged as a promising approach to counter the harmful impacts of the pandemic. Understanding the psychological components that may impact an individual's attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination is crucial for generating evidence-based ways to minimize vaccine hesitancy. This study determined the psychological antecedents regarding vaccine acceptance among urban slum people of Banglade…

Covid-19 in Colombia and Venezuela
Application of Sars-CoV-2 Serology to Address Public Health Priorities
Background: Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 can be detected by various testing platforms, but a detailed understanding of assay performance is critical. Methods: We developed and validated a simple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect IgG binding to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2, which was then applied for surveillance. ELISA results were compared to a set of complimentary serologic assays using a large panel of cli…
Immigration, perceived discrimination and mental health
BACKGROUND: The association between international migration and mental health is conditioned to several factors, and discrimination may play a significant role. Currently, Peru is one of the principal Venezuelan migrant-receiving countries in Latin America. There are around one million Venezuelan refugees and migrants in the country. This study evaluates the association between self-perceived discrimination and mental health problems in Venezuela…
Understanding the health needs of internally displaced persons
We seek to strengthen understanding of the health needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in contexts of conflict or violence. Based upon a scoping review, our paper identified limited evidence on IDP health, but nevertheless indicates that IDPs tend to experience worse health outcomes than other conflict-affected populations across a range of health issues; and this is due to the particularly vulnerable situation of IDPs relative to these o…

Translating transmissibility measures into recommendations for coronavirus prevention
The rapid increase in clinical cases of the new coronavirus disease, COVID-19, suggests high transmissibility. However, the estimates of the basic reproductive number reported in the literature vary widely. Considering this, we drew the function of contact-rate reduction required to control the transmission from both detectable and undetectable sources. Based on this, we offer a set of recommendations for symptomatic and asymptomatic populations …
Association between the level of education and knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding dengue in the Caribbean region of Colombia
Level of education could be a key determinant of knowledge of the disease and its transmission, as well as attitudes and practices, especially those that involve the integration of community efforts for dengue control
No todo es Zika
Congenital toxoplasmosis continues to be a public health threat. Even existing guidelines, publicly known, its implementation and lack of appropriate interpretation of serological tests in pregnancy is often observed. This leds to failure in opportunities for positive and known interventions to decrease the fetal risk due to Toxoplasma gondii infection. We reported herein a case series, with variable neurological and systemic compromise (respirat…

Learning from listservs
Computer-mediated communications, in particular listservs, can be powerful tools for creating social change—namely, shifting our food system to a more healthy, just, and localised model. They do this by creating the conditions—collaborations, interaction, self-reflection, and personal empowerment—that cultivate distributed leadership. In this article, we will show how the listserv hosted by the Farmers Market Coalition (FMC), a US-based non-profi…
La mala calidad de sueño se asocia a una menor adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral de gran actividad en pacientes peruanos con infección por VIH/Sida
Con el objetivo de evaluar si existe asociación entre la mala calidad de sueño y la adherencia al tratamiento antirretroviral de gran actividad (TARGA) en personas con infección por VIH/ SIDA; llevamos a cabo un estudio analítico de corte transversal que incluyó 389 pacientes peruanos en TARGA. La mala calidad de sueño fue medida con la Escala de Calidad de Sueño de Pittsburgh y la adherencia con el CEAT-VIH. Realizamos un modelo lineal generaliz…
La seguridad del paciente
La identificación de eventos adversos es un componente de alta relevancia en salud. En América Latina y el Caribe, tal medición no siempre es tenida en cuenta pese a la considerable frecuencia con que tales eventos son reportados — esto sin contar la proporción de casos que no se consignan en los registros. Se estima que 10 de cada 100 pacientes hospitalizados han presentado efectos adversos alguna vez durante la hospitalización y se espera que l…

Necesidad de consenso en el diagnóstico de la toxocariasis humana
Diferencias entre la hemoglobina observada y estimada por hematocrito y su importancia en el diagnóstico de anemia en población costera venezolana
There is an overestimation of hemoglobin levels from hematocrit levels and therefore an underestimation of the prevalence of anemia; however, a high positive correlation between them was found, allowing modeling for achieving a better estimation of the hemoglobin from the hematocrit value

Chagas disease
BACKGROUND: Achieving sustainable economic and social growth through advances in health is crucial in Latin America within the framework of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. DISCUSSION: Health-related Millennium Development Goals need to incorporate a multidimensional approach addressing the specific epidemiologic profile for each region of the globe. In this regard, addressing the cycle of destitution and suffering associated with…
