Long-term impacts of heatwaves on accelerated ageing
Neighbourhood greenness might impact thyroid hormone levels in children, adolescents, and young adults
Our study provided evidence on the impacts of neighbourhood greenness on thyroid hormone levels among young populations. These findings may reveal potential biological mechanisms and contribute to urban planning and public health strategies
Human respiratory syncytial virus subgroups A and B outbreak in a kindergarten in Zhejiang Province, China, 2023
Background: In May-June 2023, an unprecedented outbreak of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) infections occurred in a kindergarten, Zhejiang Province, China. National, provincial, and local public health officials investigated the cause of the outbreak and instituted actions to control its spread. Methods: We interviewed patients with the respiratory symptoms by questionnaire. Respiratory samples were screened for six respiratory pathogens…
Epidemiological features and trends in the mortality rates of 10 notifiable respiratory infectious diseases in China from 2004 to 2020
Objectives The aim of this study is to describe, visualize, and compare the trends and epidemiological features of the mortality rates of 10 notifiable respiratory infectious diseases in China from 2004 to 2020. Setting Data were obtained from the database of the National Infectious Disease Surveillance System (NIDSS) and reports released by the National and local Health Commissions from 2004 to 2020. Spearman correlations and Joinpoint regressio…
Digital oral health biomarkers for early detection of cognitive decline
A digital oral health biomarker approach is feasible for tracing cognitive function. When maintaining oral hygiene and oral health, cognitive status can be assessed simultaneously and early monitoring of cognitive status can prevent disease burden in the future
Comparison of clinical characteristics between Covid-19 and H7N9 fatal cases
Objective: The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 is reminiscent of the H7N9 outbreak in 2013, which poses a huge threat to human health. We aim to compare clinical features and survival factors in fatal cases of COVID-19 and H7N9. Methods: Data on confirmed COVID-19 and H7N9 fatal cases identified in mainland China were analyzed to compare demographic characteristics and clinical severity. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and …
Dynamic modeling for noise mapping in urban areas
Environmental noise has been a major environmental nuisance in metropolitan cities. To achieve the goal of sustainable community, noise reduction is an important approach. Without systematic noise mapping, the spatio-temporal distribution of noise variations is hard to capture. This study proposes a new methodology framework to combine statistical models and acoustic propagation for dynamic updates of 2D and 3D traffic noise maps by using a limit…
Reduced effectiveness of tree planting on micro-climate cooling due to ozone pollution—A modeling study
By reducing growth of leaves, ozone pollution reduces the cooling effect of trees. • Tree performance on surface temperature, sensible heat and PET were studied. • Planning implications of tree planting due to the ozone effect were discussed. Urban tree planting is an important measure to provide micro-climate cooling (MCC) in megacities. However all of the studies available in the literature were focused on an ideal and clean environment where t…
The intersections of the care regime and the migrant care worker policy
Employment of migrant care workers (MCWs) is increasing, globalising, and is feminised, but the style, nature and extent of MCW policy in Taiwan is very different. This study explores the specific path for MCW policies amidst the globalisation of MCWs and analyses the intersection of the care, migration and employment regimes and compares these to South Korea’s and Japan’s migrant worker policies. This gives a deeper understanding of the formatio…
A flow-based statistical model integrating spatial and nonspatial dimensions to measure healthcare access
Assessing access to healthcare for an entire healthcare system involves accounting for demand, supply, and geographic variation. In order to capture the interaction between healthcare services and populations, various measures of healthcare access have been utilized, including the popular two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method. However, despite the many advantages of 2SFCA, the problems, such as inappropriate assumption of healthcare dem…
Spatiotemporal Evolution of Market Towns in the Jiangnan Area During the Ming-Qing Dynasties of China
In this article, the authors present a spatiotemporal model for elucidating the evolution of market towns spanning from before 1550 to 1980. The study area, Jiangnan (i.e., current Shanghai and Suzhou cities area), with its flat elevation and compact river network, is the best place to evaluate the dynamic hierarchical change of the market towns in China. The population and the geographical location of each market town are manually extracted from…
Spatio-temporal analysis on enterovirus cases through integrated surveillance in Taiwan
Local public health professionals can monitor the temporal and spatial trends plus spatio-temporal clusters and isolation rate of EV-71 in mild and severe EV cases in a community when virus transmission is high, to provide early warning signals and to prevent subsequent severe epidemics
