We estimate the potential impact of COVID-19 on United Kingdom economy, including direct disease effects, preventive public actions and associated policies. A sectoral, whole-economy macroeconomic model was linked to a population-wide epidemiological demographic assess COVID-19, together with policies mitigate or suppress pandemic by means home quarantine, school closures, social distancing accompanying business closures. Our simulations indicate that, assuming clinical attack rate 48% case...
Multiple Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines appear to be safe and efficacious, but only high-income countries have the resources procure sufficient vaccine doses for most of their eligible populations. The World Health Organization has published guidelines prioritisation, impact projections focused on countries, few incorporate economic considerations. To address this evidence gap, we projected health different vaccination scenarios in Sindh Province, Pakistan (population: 48 million).
Risk factors for genital human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6/11 and 16/18 any HPV type as well herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) infections were investigated in a population-based study of 1,600 randomly selected women (20–39 years) from Godthäb (native, Nuuk), Greenland, Nykebing Falster, Denmark. A total 586 Greenlandlc 681 Danish Included, respectively. They all had personal interview gynecologic examination with cervical smear swab analysis (filter situ hybrid Ization). Moreover, blood...
Macrophage-lymphocyte clusters are formed when lymph node cells and autologous peritoneal exudate from guinea pigs immunized with tubercle bacilli cultured in the presence of purified protein derivative tuberculin (PPD) for 20 h. We have studied ultrastructure these employing transmission scanning electron microscopy. The most simple macrophage-lymphocyte cluster consisted one macrophage, large central lymphocyte a blastoid appearance attached to macrophage broad area contact, few more than...
Objectives COVID-19 has altered health sector capacity in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cost data to inform evidence-based priority setting are urgently needed. Consequently, this paper, we calculate the full economic costs of clinical management 79 LMICs under different epidemiological scenarios. Methods We used country-specific projections from a dynamic transmission model determine number cases, hospitalisations deaths over 1 year four mitigation defined response for...
The UK government announced the "Soft Drinks Industry Levy" (SDIL), a tiered tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), in 2016 and implemented 2018. Traditional economic assessments of SSB interventions focus assessing healthcare cost implications using standard Cost-of-Illness methodology. No studies have so far attempted to apply macroeconomic assessment methods assess net impacts taxes, including anticipated tax-efficiency losses gains from reduced health externalities, or trade-offs...
We employ a single-country dynamically-recursive Computable General Equilibrium model to make health-focussed macroeconomic assessments of three contingent UK Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation strategies, designed achieve 2030 emission targets as suggested by the Committee on Climate Change. In contrast previous assessment studies, our main focus is health co-benefits additional those from reduced local air pollution. conservative cost-effectiveness methodology with zero net cost threshold....
Key features of the Mozambican economy are synthesized in this paper based on a new 1995 social accounting matrix. Particular attention is paid to critical role home consumption and large marketing margins. The fundamental importance agricultural development emerges clearly from analysis which multiplier for value added by capital re‐examined. Agriculture has sectoral multipliers generally more effective use scarce than industry services. Commodities with attractive promotion agriculture...
Abstract The authors calibrate two static computable general‐equilibrium (CGE) models with 16 and 5999 representative households. Aggregated disaggregated household categories are consistently embedded in a 2000 social accounting matrix (SAM) for Vietnam, mapping on one‐to‐one basis. Distinct differences poverty assessments emerge when the impact of trade liberalization is analyzed models. This highlights importance modeling micro‐household behavior related income expenditure distributions...
Severity assessment of occupational hand eczema (OHE) is important not only in clinical settings but also research. Questionnaires with self-rated severity may be an attractive tool for assessing because their cost efficiency comparison expensive examinations.To evaluate the relation between and based on standardized medical certificates issued by dermatologists a population patients OHE.Between October 2001 November 2002 (58 weeks) we identified all new cases recognized OHE from Danish...
Palm oil is a cooking and food ingredient in widespread use the global system. However, as highly saturated fat, palm consumption has been associated with negative effects on cardiovascular health, while large scale production linked to deforestation. We construct an innovative fully integrated Macroeconomic-Environmental-Demographic-health (MED-health) model undertake environmental, economic analyses of Thailand over coming 20 years (2016-2035). In order put health fiscal policy perspective...
This paper outlines the complex historical legacy and structural adjustment efforts in Mozambique addition to reviewing recent economic developments. An in-depth analysis of new more reliable national accounts data show that macroeconomic stabilization has occurred through recovery from a suppressed outset. Yet, easy import substitution now been used up, transformation on export side remains be addressed. Moreover, coherent development strategy geared towards poverty reduction is still...
Abstract The incidence of cervical cancer in Greenlandic women aged 20‐39 years is nearly 6 times higher than Danish the same age. Possible determinants were investigated a population‐based cross‐sectional study. From Nuuk (Greenland) and Nykøbing Falster (Denmark) sample 800 was drawn at random. A total 586 661 studied Greenland Denmark, respectively. All underwent personal interview. In Greenland, 13% reported first intercourse before age 14 contrast to 3.5% 85% Greenlanders had their...
Measurement is a key issue in the literature on price incentive bias induced by trade policy. We introduce general equilibrium measure of relative effective rate protection, which generalizes earlier protection measures. For our fifteen sample countries, results indicate that agricultural generally perceived to exist during 1980s was largely eliminated 1990s. Results also demonstrate effects and country‐specific characteristics are crucial for determining sign magnitude bias. Our...
