Effects of Ramadan on clinical visits at a primary health center in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh
In 2017, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fled Myanmar to refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar in southeastern Bangladesh. Peace Winds Japan and Dhaka Community Hospital Trust have jointly operated a primary health center (PHC) at Camp 14 in this region since 2018. Our objective was to determine the effect of Ramadan on clinical visits at this PHC during 2020. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patient data, including diagnoses and use of medicati…
Effect of individual preventive practices on Covid-19 infection
This analysis provides evidence to guide COVID-19 prevention policies. Simultaneous adherence to multiple NPIs proved more effective in preventing COVID-19. Despite changes in viral strains and the number of infected cases, hand washing/mask wearing, refraining from travel, and refraining from dining out significantly associated with a reduction of COVID-19 infection. Our findings are likely to be applicable in future infectious disease outbreaks
Effectiveness of Covid-19 mRNA vaccine in preventing infection against Omicron strain
Background and purpose Despite the widespread adoption of various preventive measures since the spread of COVID-19, there remains a lack of consensus on universally acknowledged best practices. However, the significance of vaccination has risen to prominence as a paramount preventive strategy. Numerous investigations have demonstrated vaccine effectiveness against the omicron strain in severe disease and symptomatic disease, however, the scope of…
Exploring the Gender and Age Demographics of Patients Treated by Emergency Medical Teams during Disasters
Study findings highlight the importance of considering age-specific healthcare requirements in disaster planning. Real-time data collection tools such as J-SPEED and MDS, which generate both daily reports and raw data for in-depth analysis, facilitate the validation of equitable access to healthcare services, emphasize the specific needs of vulnerable groups, and enable the consideration of cultural preferences to improve healthcare provision by …
Potential Risk Factors to Covid-19 Severity
Our findings indicate that risk factors vary across different SARS-CoV-2 variants. Examining variant-specific risk factors for COVID-19 severity can aid policymakers, public health specialists, and clinicians in prioritizing screening, treatment, and vaccination efforts, especially during potential healthcare resource shortages
Mental health needs associated with Covid-19 on the diamond princess cruise ship
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection prevention measures have led to a variety of mental health issues. Although several self-care methods have been recommended for those quarantined, evidence regarding how best to support quarantined people experiencing a mental health crisis is limited. In February 2020, the Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined in Yokohama port, Japan following a passenger testing positive for COVID-19. We were…
Must countries shoulder the burden of mesothelioma to ban asbestos? A global assessment
INTRODUCTION: Mesothelioma is a key asbestos-related disease (ARD) but can be difficult to diagnose. Countries presumably ban asbestos to reduce future ARD burdens, but it is unknown if countries ban asbestos as a consequence of ARD burdens. We assessed if and to what extent mesothelioma burden has an impact on a country banning asbestos and obtaining targets for preventative strategies. METHODS: We analysed the status of asbestos ban and mesothe…
Prevalence of Mental Health Problems among Patients Treated by Emergency Medical Teams
It is crucial to provide mental health care following a disaster because the victims tend to experience symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia during the acute phase. However, little research on mental health during the acute phase has been conducted, and reported only in terms of the temporal transition of the number of consultations and symptoms. Thus, the aim of the study was to examine how mental health care needs are accounted for in the over…
Obesity, Burden of Ischemic Heart Diseases and Their Ecological Association
Ischemic heart diseases are the leading cause of death in Uzbekistan. There are numerous risk factors affecting ischemic heart disease, and obesity is one of the major independent risk factors. This study is the first attempt to estimate the ecological association between obesity prevalence and the burden of ischemic heart disease between 1990 and 2019 in Uzbekistan. To define the prevalence of all obesity types, death, and incidences of ischemic…
The Association between Wearing a Mask and Covid-19
With the widespread and increasing number of cases of Coronavirus Disease (2019) globally, countries have been taking preventive measures against this pandemic. However, there is no universal agreement across cultures on whether wearing face masks are an effective physical intervention against disease transmission. We investigated the relationship between mask wearing and COVID-19 among close contacts of COVID-19 patients in the Hiroshima Prefect…
Health Data Collection Before, During and After Emergencies and Disasters—The Result of the Kobe Expert Meeting
In October 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) convened a meeting to identify key research needs, bringing together leading experts from WHO, WHO Thematic Platform for Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health-EDRM) Research Network (TPRN), World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and delegates to the Asia Pacific Conference for Disaster Medicine (APCDM) 20…
Impact of Regional Clinical Pathways on the Length of Stay in Hospital Among Stroke Patients in Japan
BACKGROUND: Clinical pathways are care plans used by health providers to describe essential steps in the care of patients with specific medical conditions. Clinical implementation of the regional clinical pathways in Japan has spread, and the 2008 fee schedule included a new "regional inter-provider care planning fee" for stroke. However, no evidence regarding the efficacy of the regional clinical pathways for stroke has appeared. OBJECTIVES: We …
P1-438 The urothelial carcinoma risks of radiation, smoking and occupational exposures
Introduction Primary risk factors for urothelial carcinomas (UC) include smoking, occupational exposures to aromatic amines (AA) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Radiation risk estimates of the A-bomb survivors indicate the bladder is highly radiosensitive. However, concerns persist as to whether high smoking rates or occupational exposures may have influenced these estimates. The purpose of this study is to re-estimate radiation risk …
