Machine Learning and Automation Systems to Improve Port and Maritime Logistics Efficiency
This article explores the impact of machine learning (ML) and automation systems in improving logistics efficiency in the port and maritime sector. Through a literature review approach and qualitative analysis, it highlights how these technologies can optimize key operations, reduce costs, and minimize errors in the maritime supply chain. In addition, challenges and opportunities for large-scale implementation are identified. The results indicate…
Association between the use of electronic cigarettes and myocardial infarction in U.S. adults
The results suggest that former and someday users of e-cigarettes probably have increased odds of myocardial infarction in adults in the U.S. Further research is needed, including long-term follow-up studies on e-cigarettes, since it is still unknown whether they should be discouraged
Association between Race and Cancer-Related Mortality among Patients with Colorectal Cancer in the United States
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of mortality in the United States (US). Differences in CRC mortality according to race have been extensively studied; however, much more understanding with regard to tumor characteristics' effect on mortality is needed. The objective was to investigate the association between race and mortality among CRC patients in the US during 2007−2014. A retrospective cohort study using data from the Sur…
Impact of training primary care physicians in behavioral counseling to reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors in Ecuador
Training PCPs in a patient-centered behavioral intervention for CVD risk factor reduction is feasible and efficacious for reducing CVD risk factors in Ecuador. Developed and developing countries alike could benefit from such an intervention
Enhancing global capacity in the surveillance, prevention, and control of chronic diseases
BACKGROUND: Chronic diseases are now a major health problem in developing countries as well as in the developed world. Although chronic diseases cannot be communicated from person to person, their risk factors (for example, smoking, inactivity, dietary habits) are readily transferred around the world. With increasing human progress and technological advance, the pandemic of chronic diseases will become an even bigger threat to global health. METH…
Enhancing regional capacity in chronic disease surveillance in the Americas
Existe la necesidad de reforzar la capacidad regional para la vigilancia de las enfermedades cronicas en las Americas. Los objetivos de este articulo son 1) ofrecer nuestro apoyo decidido a favor de la vigilancia de las enfermedades cronicas, 2) presentar una revision descriptiva y un resumen de las actividades de vigilancia y los problemas en torno a las mismas en las Americas, 3) confeccionar una lista de recursos y fuentes de consulta para obt…
Usefulness of Tobacco Check Boxes on Death Certificates
Objectives. We compared reports of deaths in which tobacco use was a contributing factor (“tobacco-associated deaths”) before and after the addition to death certificates in Texas of a check-box question asking whether tobacco use contributed to an individual’s death. Methods. We examined Texas vital statistics files from 1987 to 1998. We calculated differences in percentages of reported tobacco-associated deaths (and 95% confidence intervals [CI…
Smoking in Ecuador
About a third of the population in the two major cities of Ecuador reported smoking cigarettes. Smoking is more common among men, those of younger age, and the more educated. The findings in this study should help the development of antismoking policies in Ecuador and other countries in the region
