And the live attenuated varicella vaccine has not been included in routine immunization. In this study, we analyzed for the first time the chickenpox epidemiology in Jilin Province in the past 20 years, and the nucleotide site, amino acid site and N-glycosylation site variation of glycoprotein in varicella-zoster virus (VZV) surface 9 in the past 15 years. The results showed that the reported incidence of varicella in Jilin Province in the last 20 years was fluctuating above and below 20/10,000, especially after the epidemic of the COVID-19, and fatal cases appeared in individual years. The genotypic branching of VZV was monitored as Clade 2 in the last 15 years. 9 glycogen nucleotide sites of VZV have different degrees of variability, and the variability has specificity. therefore, it gives us the idea that in order to reduce the incidence of varicella and herpes zoster a provincial or even national surveillance program should be introduced as early as possible, and the dynamic monitoring of the variability of the nucleotide sites of VZV should be strengthened at the same time as the vaccine immunization strategy is introduced.

Published: August 2024

Backround/Aims:
This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of gastric botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection in the treatment of obesity. Anthropometric changes, diet adaptation, Early feelings of satiety, and constipation status were analyzed in the injected patients during a sixteen-week period.
Materials and Methods
A sample of this study consists of 31 female patients who received BTX-A injections between January and March 2023. Patients' information was accessed from patient follow-up files. The file includes sociodemographic information, anthropometric measurements, dietary adaptation data measured by visual analog score, and data on satiety and constipation. A diet containing 1000 calories of 40% carbohydrates, 25% protein, and 35% fat was given to the patients by the dietitian. The results were calculated with the SPSS 22.0 program and interpreted at a 95% confidence level.
Results
500 U BTX-A injection was effective in reducing body weight, BMI, fat mass and fat percentages. There was a loss of 5.12 kg in body weight and a decrease of 1.8 points in BMI. An important part of weight loss in the body is adipose tissue. There was no significant loss of fat-free mass. Diet adaptation and early satiety were less in the sixteenth week than in the first weeks.
Conclusion
BTX-A injection is effective in losing body weight, BMI, and fat mass together with diet therapy. It is thought that it can be applied in the treatment of obesity together with diet in patients who are suitable for injection. btx-a injection also increases the diet compliance of patients who do not comply with the diet.

Work is fundamental to societal prosperity and mental health, providing financial security, identity, purpose, and social integration. Job insecurity, underemployment and unemployment are well-documented risk factors for mental health issues and suicide. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has catalysed debate on job displacement and its corollary impacts on individual and social wellbeing. Some argue that many new jobs and industries will emerge to offset the displacement, while others foresee a widespread decoupling of economic productivity from human input threatening jobs on an unprecedented scale. This study explores the conditions under which both may be true and examines the potential for a self-reinforcing cycle of recessionary pressures that would necessitate sustained government intervention to maintain job security and economic stability. A system dynamics model was developed to undertake ex ante analysis of the effect of AI-capital deepening on labour underutilisation and demand in the economy. Results indicate that even a moderate increase in the AI-capital-to-labour ratio could increase labour underutilisation to double its current level, decrease per capita disposable income by 26% (95% interval, 20.6% − 31.8%), and decrease the consumption index by 21% (95% interval, 13.6% − 28.3%) by mid-2050. To prevent a reduction in per capita disposable income due to the estimated increase in underutilization, at least a 10.8-fold increase in the new job creation rate would be necessary. Results demonstrate the feasibility of an AI-capital-to-labour ratio threshold beyond which even high rates of new job creation cannot prevent declines in consumption. The precise threshold will vary across economies, emphasizing the urgent need for empirical research tailored to specific contexts. This study underscores the need for cross-sectoral government measures to ensure a smooth transition to an AI-dominated economy to safeguard the Mental Wealth of nations.
Evidence brief: Evaluation of a tool for measuring practice change in healthcare settings
Authors: Pain Tilley , Brown Amy , Kingston Gail , Perks Stephen
Published: August 2024

Background
Research growth at a regional Australian public health service prompted a search for ways to measure impact. Clinician researchers developed a one-page document defining the clinical problem, a summary of the evidence and a solution to the problem. The document was named Evidence Brief (EB) and was initially a means of communicating practice changes from allied health research. This study evaluates the EB to determine whether it can be a metric for translation.
Methods
A multiple case study design was used. Four cases were chosen, three from completed EBs and one from a quality improvement project. Each case was investigated via document review, including EB, published journal articles, policies, or guidelines, plus semi-structured interviews conducted with relevant stakeholders. Analysis was conducted in four stages: case context and description, within-case analysis, cross-case analysis and interpretation and evaluation using thematic analysis.
Results
Document analysis confirmed practice change, rationale and evidence for change, the instigator of change and enablers. Cross-case analysis identified commonalities such as an expanded scope of practice, clinician-led change, and the inclusion of salient stakeholders to ensure that translation occurred. Differences included the timing of funding and the reach of change.
Conclusion
EBs effectively communicate practice change. Each EB describes a unit of change resulting from research or quality improvement projects, suggesting its usefulness as a measure of change. A modified version of the EB is proposed as a starting point for future impact assessments to measure longer-term impacts.

Published: August 2024

Background
The increasing demand for sustainable menstrual products has led to a growing interest in innovative materials that reduce environmental impact. Reusable menstrual pads (RMPs) offer a sustainable alternative, but the effectiveness and properties of novel eco-friendly materials for reusable menstrual pads remain unclear.
Aim
The objective of this scoping review is to identify novel eco-friendly materials used for reusable menstrual pads, with a particular focus on their properties and environmental impact.
Methods: This review adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. A comprehensive three-step search strategy was employed to locate both published and unpublished studies. The initial search was conducted across databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, AJOL, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Worldwide Science, Science.gov, and the Global Health database. Studies investigating novel eco-friendly materials for reusable menstrual pads, published in English, focusing on women and girls of reproductive age, comparing eco-friendly materials with conventional pads, or reporting on properties and environmental impact of these plant-based fibres. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts using the software Covidence. Data were extracted and charted using a standardized form. This search was conducted in February, 2024.
Results: The search yielded 479 studies, 37 studies were assessed for full-text review which led to inclusion of 16 studies. A diverse array of eco-friendly materials were identified for reusable menstrual pads. The top layer includes bamboo, banana, organic cotton, and other natural fibers. The core layer, focused on absorbency, features materials like cotton terry cloth, hemp, bamboo wadding and bamboo kun. The bottom layer uses water-repellent materials such as polyester, polyurethane laminate, nylon, and bio-plastic sheets.
Conclusion: This review highlights the potential of plant-based fibres as eco-friendly materials for reusable menstrual pads. However, the scarcity of high-quality evidence, particularly on user experience, life cycle assessments and randomized controlled trials necessitates further research.
