Depressive symptoms and association with prevalent cardiovascular disease: A cross-sectional analysis in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in low- and middle-income countries, and depression remains an underexplored CVD risk factor in Haiti. We assessed the association between depressive symptoms (DS) and prevalent CVD in urban Haiti and examined sex differences using a cross-sectional analysis of enrollment data from the Haiti Cardiovascular Disease Cohort (adults ≥18 years; March 2019–August 2021). DS were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and categorized as none–mild (<1 …

Women’s knowledge, attitudes and practices related to mother-to-child transmission of HTLV-1 in Peru
Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) can be transmitted from mother to child through breastfeeding and increases the risk of mortality and morbidity from inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic diseases. Short-duration breastfeeding or exclusive formula feeding reduces transmission. In Peru, where breastfeeding is common and populations affected by HTLV-1 lack access to safe water and sewage, which hinders control, understanding women’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding HTLV-1 mother-to-child …

Chemsex as a temporal strategy: rethinking rush use in sexual behavior among Chinese urban MSM
Background This study examined how Chinese urban men who have sex with men use rush in sexual contexts to organize sexual encounters. Existing Chinese research has mainly discussed rush use in relation to HIV-related vulnerability, condomless sex and multiple partners. Less is known about how participants themselves understand its role in intimacy and everyday life. This study addresses that gap by analyzing rush use as a temporal strategy. Methods The study drew on life-story interviews with 24 men who have sex wi …

Breaking barriers in health surveillance: privacy-preserving techniques for tracking vaccine hesitancy and disease outbreaks in Pakistan
Background Precise measurement of sensitive public health outcomes is often limited by underreporting, stigma, and social desirability bias. These challenges can affect estimates of COVID-19 infection and vaccine hesitancy, leading to incomplete evidence for surveillance and public health decision-making. This study examined the use of privacy-preserving stratified randomized response models (SRRMs) to improve the estimation of sensitive health information in a population-based setting. Methods We conducted a cross …

Didactics before tools: Redesigning teaching and assessment in the age of generative AI
Research and policy have become good at naming the cognitive risks that generative AI (GenAI) poses to learning. Namely, detrimental cognitive offloading, metacognitive laziness, and the illusion of competence. What this literature does much less well is tell teachers what to do with that knowledge in their everyday practice. This article argues that alongside AI literacy, regulation and safeguards protecting educational stakeholders, one of the central challenges facing education in the age of GenAI is related to …

Reframing Pandemic Preparedness: Why Positive-Pressure Exposure Control Merits Formal Public Health Evaluation
Abstract Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) are respiratory protective devices that actively supply filtered air and maintain positive pressure in the breathing zone, thereby limiting the inward leakage of unfiltered ambient air through gaps. Their principles and technology are already established. Positive-pressure PAPRs have primarily been used by health care workers in high-risk environments. However, their potential as an individual-level infection-control measure applicable to the general public has not …

Ill-Posedness, Bias, and the Case for Average Stresses in Residual Stress Evaluations
Abstract The evaluation of residual stresses using relaxation methods is a central problem in experimental mechanics, yet the conventional pursuit of pointwise stress values creates persistent physical and mathematical difficulties. Physically, the isotropic continuum models underlying these methods lose validity near the microstructural grain scale, rendering highly localized stress values physically dubious. Mathematically, deriving these pointwise values from measured relaxed strains constitutes an ill-posed inv …

Periodontal management in patients with diabetes: the impact of periodontal treatment on cardiometabolic biomarkers
Introduction Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and periodontitis present an independent bidirectional relationship. While T2DM is associated with a higher prevalence, incidence, and severity of periodontitis, periodontitis might worsen glycemic control and inflammatory biomarker levels in diabetics. Although there is no standardized therapy for the treatment of diabetic patients with periodontitis, different periodontal interventions report improvements in clinical and cardiometabolic parameters. Objective To summar …

Inactivation of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae during influenza vaccine production
INTRODUCTION. The use of chicken embryos in influenza vaccine production carries the risk of contaminating the final product with the avian mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae , which pose a potential hazard to humans. Therefore, evaluating the effectiveness of inactivating these contaminants in influenza vaccine intermediates using inactivators (β-propiolactone, ultraviolet irradiation) and detergents is important. AIM. This study aimed to evaluate the inactivation dynamics of M. gallisepticum an …

Logrolling affects the relative performance of majority and unanimity rule
Abstract We consider a committee facing binary decisions on a number of proposals. If members vote sincerely and payoffs are symmetrically distributed, we show analytically that simple majority rule is the best q-majority rule in an aggregate or expected payoff sense. We argue that this (well known) pattern changes systematically if the committee faces multiple decisions and members engage in logrolling deals. In a simulation exercise, we find that unanimity rule outperforms majority rule when the number of proposa …
