Projections of Climate Change Impact on Acute Heat Illnesses in Taiwan: Case-Crossover Study

Projections of Climate Change Impact on Acute Heat Illnesses in Taiwan: Case-Crossover Study

In response to global warming, Taiwan has established a real-time epidemic surveillance and early warning system to monitor acute heat illnesses since January 1, 2011 [8]. Instead of reporting past cases of acute heat illnesses, projecting their future number of acute heat illnesses is crucial for developing prevention strategies and health service planning [9,10]. However, predicting the number of acute heat illnesses requires forecasting temperature changes that are influenced by adaptation policies.

Secular Trends in Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents in Yunnan, Southwest China From Before COVID-19 to During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Longitudinal, Observational Study

Secular Trends in Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents in Yunnan, Southwest China From Before COVID-19 to During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Longitudinal, Observational Study

The COVID-19 epidemic began in 2020 worldwide, and Yunnan experienced different degrees of impact. In the beginning, there was no epidemic in Yunnan, then Yunnan first reported COVID-19 patients in Ruili in 2021. There was no pandemic on a large scale in Yunnan before 2022. In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic truly began in Yunnan. Previous studies found that the COVID-19 pandemic affected depressive symptoms in adolescents [28,29]. To date, there have been no relevant studies or reports in Yunnan Province.

From the Public Health Perspective: a Scalable Model for Improving Epidemiological Testing Efficacy in Low- and Middle-Income Areas

From the Public Health Perspective: a Scalable Model for Improving Epidemiological Testing Efficacy in Low- and Middle-Income Areas

To address the current gaps in pre-epidemic surveillance and prevention, Mobarak et al [10] suggest creating a relatively complete and locally relevant general detection system, including individual and population-wide engagement strategies, in areas where the basic public health system lags relatively behind that of other higher-income areas, which would address some of the cost commonalities and resolve some social conflicts.

Understanding Public Perceptions and Discussions on Opioids Through Twitter: Cross-Sectional Infodemiology Study

In the United States, the CDC, Food and Drug Administration, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Department of Justice collaborate in the opioid crisis epidemic, giving each institution a defined role [57]. However, even though efforts are made, the rates of opioid misuse and nonfatal and fatal overdose remain high.

Assessment of the Early Detection of Anosmia and Ageusia Symptoms in COVID-19 on Twitter: Retrospective Study

Assessment of the Early Detection of Anosmia and Ageusia Symptoms in COVID-19 on Twitter: Retrospective Study

The first period (January 1-March 10) is an early stage of the epidemic (daily new cases In total, 3 types of annotations were performed. For each detected term, we first annotated if it corresponded to a genuine symptom, that is, reference to a lack of smell or to a lack of taste, or to another meaning. Indeed, a tweet can contain a term from Med DRA associated with the PT “anosmia” and “ageusia” without being a symptom, for example in case of polysemy.

Effect of Rapid Urbanization in Mainland China on the Seasonal Influenza Epidemic: Spatiotemporal Analysis of Surveillance Data From 2010 to 2017

The attack rate of the winter-spring or summer influenza epidemic in each province is defined as the cumulative weekly incidence rates during the half-year time (25 weeks in total): 12 weeks within the peak weeks since the median duration of an influenza epidemic wave is 15.6-22.5 weeks [21].
