Association between residential greenness and anemia risk among women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countries
Background Anemia is a major public health burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly among women of reproductive age (WRA). While biological causes are established, evidence on environmental factors like residential greenness is limited. Methods We analyzed data from 1,074,790 WRA across 40 LMICs using Demographic and Health Surveys (2005–2019), linked with Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetati…
The role of tropical cyclones in accelerating dengue transmission: Insights from field experiments and dynamical modelling
Introduction To quantify the impact of tropical cyclones on dengue transmission dynamics and related disease burden by integrating field entomology with dynamic modelling in Guangzhou, China. Methods Guangzhou was selected as the study site considering that it is China’s most dengue-endemic coastal megacity with frequent tropical cyclones and the country’s largest recorded dengue outbreak in 2014. Mark–release–recapture experiments with laborator…

Objectives In accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO)'s “End TB Strategy,” which aims to eradicate catastrophic expenditures faced by TB-affected families, we intend to thoroughly investigate and comprehend the economic burden, catastrophic expenditures, and contributing factors pertaining to non-drug-resistant tuberculosis patients’ families in Guizhou Province. Our goal is to formulate policy recommendations that can effectively all…
Identification of the Extent of Desertification in the Ring‐Tarim Basin Based on the Desertification Composite Index ( DCI )
Desertification is a critical global ecological and environmental challenge, posing direct threats to land productivity, biodiversity, and ecosystem stability. Effective desertification monitoring is fundamental for the development of prevention and mitigation strategies. However, existing remote sensing‐based monitoring approaches often fail to comprehensively incorporate the natural physical characteristics of the land surface, leading to limit…

Not a real meritocracy? How conspiracy beliefs reduce perceived distributive justice
The meritocracy principle, along with other distributive justice principles such as equality and need, is fundamental to the healthy functioning of modern societies. However, our understanding of the factors that shape citizens' perceptions of these principles remains limited. We proposed that conspiracy beliefs are negatively related to distributive perceptions and tested these relationships in four studies. Study 1 analyzed a global dataset (90…

Introduction: National health policies to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the US resulted in widespread school closures and disrupted learning in Spring 2020. Methods: = 282 5-12 year olds enrolled in the NIH Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Research Program to investigate associations between caregiver-reported duration of Spring 2020 learning disruptions and academic achievement. Results: Linear regression analy…
Knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding tuberculosis in a labor-intensive industrial district
Background: In China, tuberculosis (TB) is a major contributor to deaths caused by infectious diseases, with a significant number of cases remaining undetected. Lack of knowledge could heighten the chances of infecting TB. Due to the lack of information on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to TB among labor-intensive businesses, the study aimed to evaluate the TB KAP within this demographic. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectio…

The role of care-giver and mental health for older adults with disabilities: A mixed-method study
Because of the exacerbation of population ageing, more family members are involved in the informal care-giving for older adults with disabilities to cater to their long-term care needs. As informal care-givers are associated with the mental health of the care recipient, this study, based on the theoretical framework of the Actor–Partner Effect, utilises a mixed method composed of quantitative and qualitative strategies to identify the relationshi…
Doing more among institutional boundaries: Platform-enabled government in China
The concept of Government as a Platform (GaaP) has recently encountered setbacks in practice worldwide. While existing literature on inter-governmental collaboration has emphasized organizational restructuring and data sharing, this study argues that a pragmatic way to improve administrative efficiency in the absence of formal institutional change is to adopt an alternative model to GaaP: platform-enabled government. Enabled by innovations of the…
The Sequence of the Human Genome
A 2.91-billion base pair (bp) consensus sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome was generated by the whole-genome shotgun sequencing method. The 14.8-billion bp DNA sequence was generated over 9 months from 27,271,853 high-quality sequence reads (5.11-fold coverage of the genome) from both ends of plasmid clones made from the DNA of five individuals. Two assembly strategies—a whole-genome assembly and a regional chromosome assembl…
Comparison of cost-of-illness with willingness-to-pay estimates to avoid shigellosis: Evidence from China
Previous studies have shown that cost of illness (COI) measures are lower than the conceptually correct willingness-to-pay (WTP) measure of the economic benefits of disease prevention. We compare COI with stated preference estimates of WTP associated with shigellosis in a rural area of China. COI data were collected through face-to-face interviews at 7 and 14 days after culture-confirmed diagnosis. WTP to avoid an episode similar to the one the r…

The utilization of antenatal care among rural-to-urban migrant women in Shanghai: A hospital-based cross-sectional study
Many migrant women in Shanghai did not receive adequate antenatal care and initiated antenatal care later than the optimal first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Poor antenatal care utilization was associated with low socioeconomic status, education, and certain demographic factors. Tailored health education for both migrant women and their husbands should be strengthened to improve maternal health. Financing supports should be provided to improve the util…
Relation-Centred Ethics in Confucius and Aquinas
In recent years, it has become a popular trend for the scholars in comparative philosophy to interpret Confucian moral theory by means of Aristotelian virtue ethics. However, this interpretation overlooks the relation-centred characteristics of Confucian ethics that is lacking in Aristotelian ethics. In this article, I will argue that there is relation-based ethics in the Western tradition—the ethics of Thomas Aquinas. By examining Aquinas's theo…
Experiences in anti-tuberculosis treatment in patients with multiple previous treatments and its impact on drug resistant tuberculosis epidemics
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) patients with a history of multiple anti-TB treatments are the 'neglected' group to the free anti-TB treatment policy in China. OBJECTIVE: To understand the experiences of TB patients with multiple previous treatments with regard to bacteriological diagnosis and treatment regimens, especially for second-line anti-TB drugs, and how this might influence the risks of multidrug and extensively drug-resistant TB (M/XDR-TB…

Early detection and prompt prostate cancer treatment is important for improving health and for increasing survival rates of the Shanghai male population
High-risk screening and detection of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in two prefectures of China: A drug susceptibility surveillance-based secondary data analysis
BACKGROUND: In China, less than one-fifth of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases are detected. MDR-TB screening is conducted amongst the following five high-risk groups of TB patients: chronic cases, close contacts of MDR-TB patients, patients with treatment failure, relapsed and returned patients, and smear-positive patients at the end of the third month of initial treatment. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the possibility of detecting MDR-TB…

EEG oscillation evidences of altered resting-state brain activity in children orphaned by parental HIV/Aids
Early life adverse events in children orphaned by parental HIV/AIDS can have long-lasting effects on brain function. However, data are limited regarding the brain activation during resting state in these children. The current study aims to investigate the brain oscillation at rest in children orphaned by HIV/AIDS using resting-state EEG data. Data were derived from a larger neurodevelopmental study in which 90 children aged 9-17 years orphaned by…
