Given Japan's rapidly ageing demographic structure, comprehensive and long-term evaluations of its national subnational health progress are important to inform public policy. This study aims assess population health, using the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 analyse country's evolving disease patterns. GBD used Japanese data from 1474 sources, covering 371 diseases, including COVID-19, 88 risk factors. The analysis included estimates life expectancy,...
Drug overdose deaths in the USA have increased rapidly past 20 years, and understanding patterns trends mortality is essential to develop policy responses. This study aimed determine whether cohort due drug changed two decades assess these by race sex.The national records of accidental death were extracted from Centers for Disease Control Prevention, National Center Health Statistics Mortality Data 2000-2020. Age-period-cohort analysis was performed examine independent effects age, period...
Recent publications show that classic hepatoblastoma (HBL) is the result of failure hepatic stem cells to differentiate into hepatocytes, while hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) caused by dedifferentiation hepatocytes cancer cells. However, mechanisms aggressive HBL and cause are unknown. We found that, similar HCC but opposite HBL, In both cases liver cancer, dephosphorylation tumor suppressor protein CCAAT/enhancer binding α (C/EBPα) at Ser193 (Ser190 in human protein) or mutation Ala results...
Abstract Coping with the COVID‐19 pandemic has been painful and no single model for such a purpose is perfect. However, sharing experiences best way countries to learn real‐time lessons adapt this rapidly changing pandemic. This commentary shares international community how an adaptive of health system organization responses helped Vietnam break transmission coronavirus. We find that effective time context, mobilizes engages wider society. identify merging different units into Center...
The aging liver is affected by several disorders, including steatosis, that can lead to a decline of functions. Here, we present evidence the cdk4-C/EBPα-p300 axis critical regulator age-associated steatosis. We found patients with non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) have increased levels cdk4 and cdk4-resistant C/EBPα-S193A mice do not develop hepatic steatosis advancing age. Underlying mechanisms include block in C/EBPα activation subsequent failure enzymes involved development NAFLD....
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most concerning public health issues in Vietnam due to antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant organisms (CROs), which might appear remote areas Vietnam. At this center, we performed a cross-sectional study and collected fecal samples from humans (20 healthcare workers (HCWs) 67 residents) 175 environmental samples, with rectal environment swabs, as data for study, September 2022 December 2022. We conducted...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) can be used to determine the composition of soil biome community, revealing beneficial and antagonistic microbes invertebrates associated with plants. eDNA analyses complement traditional community studies, offering more comprehensive information for conservation practitioners. Studies are also needed examine differences between field greenhouse biomes because greenhouse-grown plants often transplanted in during restoration efforts. We multilocus metabarcoding test...
Objectives: To estimate trends in and projections of annual HIV testing condom use at last higher-risk sex to calculate the probability reaching key United Nations Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS)'s target. Design: We included 114 nationally-representative datasets 38 African countries from Demographic Health Surveys Multiple Indicator Cluster with 1 456 224 sexually active adults age 15–49 2003 2018. Methods: applied Bayesian mixed effect models coverage for every country year 2030 UNAIDS targets...
In responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, each country is presented with both opportunities and challenges, some unique shared global community. It important not only recognize, but embrace them as drivers of public current pandemic success. this commentary, we discuss challenges that may affect ongoing health programming in Australia within context epidemiology. has date been effectively suppressed through implementation nationally coordinated, which state delivered policy, guidelines...
Movement towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) can improve health services, risk factor management, and inequality in non-communicable diseases (NCD); conversely, prioritizing monitoring NCD management support pathways to UHC resource-limited settings. We aimed estimate trends indicators Vietnam from 2010, projections 2030 at national sub-national levels; compute the probability of reaching targets; measure inequalities demographic, geographic, socio-economic levels.
Despite the potential growth and implementation of AI in live trading machines financial industry, researchers face challenges understanding foreseeing chaotic nature stock prices. Hence, this research proposes a distinctive lightweight Transformer model with sustainable architecture consisting mainly positional encoding advanced training techniques to mitigate overfitting, hence offering prompt forecasting results through univariate approach on closing price stocks. Employing MSE for loss...
Although Vietnam has promoted the utilisation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) towards HIV elimination targets, adherence to treatment remained under-investigated. We aimed describe high-risk behaviours and clinical characteristics by status identify factors associated with non-adherence. included 426 people living (PLWH) currently or previously involved in HAART. Most participants were men (75.4%), young (33.6 years), low income education levels. Non-adherent PLWH (11.5%)...
Continued decrease in smoking prevalence and increasing use of sensitive diagnostic procedures necessitate updated monitoring trends lung cancer incidence Japan. We analyzed histology- stage-specific 1993 to 2015 using data from 62 870 diagnosed cases the Monitoring Cancer Incidence Japan project. After applying a multiple imputation approach impute missing/unknown values stage histology, we estimated age-standardized rates applied joinpoint regression analyses. observed long-term growth...
Abstract Background: We provide comprehensive sex-stratified projections of cancer prevalence for 22 sites in Japan from 2020 to 2050. Methods: Using a scenario-based approach, we projected by combining incidence cases and survival probabilities. Age-specific incidences were forecasted using age–period–cohort models, while rates estimated period-analysis approach multiple parametric models. To understand changes prevalence, decomposition analysis was conducted, assessing the contributions...
Protecting the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, intersex, and queers (LGBTIQ) population requires, first foremost, a proper understanding their sexual orientation gender identity. This study highlights severe misunderstanding lack knowledge among health professionals in Vietnam with regard to men who have sex (MSM) transgenders. uses (i) survey based on convenience sampling method 150 workers that covered 61 questions (ii) 12 in-depth interviews two metropolitan centres...
Towards the elimination of this global epidemic, understanding high-risk behaviors people newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS (PNDWH) is essential. This study aimed to describe general characteristics and PNDWH identify associated factors for adopting behaviors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Vietnam explore 506 PNDWH. Associated were identified using multivariable logistic regressions. 83.2% participants had sex without a condom, 27.9% more than two partners. Among injected drug users,...
