Risk environment influences affecting cocaine market expansion within post-conflict Northern Ireland
Findings highlight unique environmental influences affecting expanding cocaine markets in 'post-conflict' Northern Ireland. A holistic, public health-led, multi-agency and harm reduction approach is needed tackle paramilitary and organised crime coercive social control. Policy makers and service providers should routinely monitor local retail cocaine markets and provide rapid drug testing. Peer-led, trauma-informed harm reduction strategies are n…
Malaria outbreak facilitated by engagement in activities near swamps following increased rainfall and limited preventive measures
In April 2019, the District Health Office of Oyam District, Uganda reported an upsurge in malaria cases exceeding expected epidemic thresholds, requiring outbreak response. We investigated the scope of outbreak and identified exposures for transmission to inform control measures. A confirmed case was a positive malaria rapid diagnostic test or malaria microscopy from 1 January—30 June 2019 in a resident or visitor of Acaba Sub-county, Oyam Distri…
Dietary and socioeconomic risk factors for fumonisin exposure among women of reproductive age in 18 municipalities in Guatemala from 2013 to 2014
Fumonisin exposure is common in populations where maize is a dietary staple, such as in Guatemala, and has been associated with negative health outcomes including neural tube defects. The objective of this study was to estimate fumonisin B 1 (FB 1 ) exposure among Guatemalan reproductive-age women and develop a better understanding of the dietary and sociodemographic risk factors for exposure. A cross-sectional study in 18 municipalities in Guate…
A comparative cross-sectional evaluation of the Field Epidemiology Training Program-Frontline in Ethiopia
FETP-Frontline trained surveillance officers demonstrated better knowledge, skills, and performance in most surveillance activities compared to the untrained officers. FETP-Frontline can address competency gaps among district surveillance officers in Ethiopia and other countries. Scaling up the program to cover unreached districts can enable achieving the human resource development core capacity requirement of the International Health Regulations…
Malaria outbreak facilitated by increased mosquito breeding sites near houses and cessation of indoor residual spraying, Kole district, Uganda, January-June 2019
Stagnant water formed by increased rainfall likely provided increased breeding sites that drove this outbreak. Cessation of IRS preceded the malaria upsurges. We recommend re-introduction of IRS and removal of mosquito breeding sites in Kole District

Fatal cases associated with eating chapatti contaminated with organophosphate in Tororo District, Eastern Uganda, 2015
Few cases of organophosphate poisoning in developing countries have been investigated using clinical and epidemiological methods. On 30 October 2015, 3 students at Mukuju School, Tororo District, Uganda, died soon after eating chapatti (locally-made flat bread) from the same food stand. Ministry of Health investigated to identify the cause and recommend prevention measures. We defined a case as onset during 30–31 October 2015 in a resident of Muk…

Using the Adult Attachment Interview to inform foster carer assessment
This study reports on findings from research carried out with Barnardo’s, a voluntary sector (not-for-profit) fostering agency, on its experience of using the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) to assess foster carers’ attachment style. Despite growing interest in the application of standardised assessment tools to the selection and support of carers, there is currently very little research that focuses on the implementation of these tools and thei…
A strategy to increase adoption of locally-produced, ceramic cookstoves in rural Kenyan households
Our strategy of training of local vendors, appropriate incentives, and product integration effectively accelerated cookstove adoption into a large number of households. The strategy also created opportunities to reinforce health messages and promote cookstoves sales and installation. However, the project's overall success was diminished by inequitable and incomplete adoption by households with the lowest socioeconomic status and young children pr…
Methadone as Social Control
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is an intervention used to treat opioid (heroin) dependence. Several investigators have found that MMT is effective in reducing heroin use and other behaviors; however, a disproportionate number of MMT clients leave treatment prematurely. Moreover, MMT outcome variables are often limited in terms of their measurement. Utilizing an integrated theoretical framework of social control and stigma, we focused on th…
Young Disabled People and the ‘New Arrangements’ for Leaving Care in England and Wales
Polemical Images in the Golden Haggadah (British Library, Add. MS 27210)
Careful examination of two miniatures in the fourteenth-century Golden Haggadah (British Library, Add. MS 27210) reveals polemical content which seems at odds with the tolerant atmosphere in which the Aragonese Jews associated with the manuscript are thought to have lived. Specifically, the Haggadah includes a rarely illustrated scene—the Spoiling of the Egyptians (fol. 13)—which draws its polemical flavor from a visual context in which spoils ar…
A celebration of the life of Nicholas Kurti
Christopher Wren, like Nicholas Kurti, had during his early life been forced to flee his home by conflict and the threat of conflict (the English Civil War), and he had also shown precocious aptitude for mathematics and natural philosophy – what we would now call physics. Again like Nicholas, Wren became an FRS (he was a founder member and sometime President) and an Oxford professor, but he was not prepared to devote all his time to university te…
Long-term care criteria and standards agreement with professional placement determination
The decisions made by physician-nurse teams and individual nurse-evaluators following examination of long-term care patients are compared with the results of placement assignment of the same patients obtained by using the New York State Patient Assessment Form (DMS-1), predictor scores, and numerical standard. The descriptors, when applied to long-term care patients and weighted according to intensity, were capable of matching the best judgment o…
