Impact of meteorological factors on the incidence of hand-foot-mouth disease in Yangzhou from 2017 to 2022: a time series study
Authors: Guo Zaijin , Wang Yin , Li Yunshui , Zhou Luojing 
Published: October 2023

BackgroundHand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a significant public health issue in China, and numerous studies have indicated a close association between HFMD incidence and meteorological factors. This study aims to investigate the relationship between meteorological factors and HFMD in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China.MethodsHFMD case reports and meteorological data from Yangzhou City between 2017 and 2022 were extracted from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Surveillance System and the Meteorological Data Sharing Service System, respectively. A generalized additive model (GAM) was employed to assess the exposure-response relationship between meteorological factors and HFMD. Subsequently, a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was used to explore the exposure-lag-effect of meteorological factors on HFMD.ResultsHFMD in Yangzhou City exhibits obvious seasonality and periodicity. There is an inverted “U” shaped relationship between average temperature and the risk of HFMD, with the maximum lag effect observed at a temperature of 25°C with lag 0 day (RR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.74–2.47). As the duration of sunshine and relative humidity increase, the risk of HFMD continuously rises, with the maximum lag effect observed at a sunshine duration of 12.4 h with a lag of 14 days (RR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.17–3.77), and a relative humidity of 28% with a lag of 14 days (RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.01–1.64). There is a “U” shaped relationship between average atmospheric pressure and the risk of HFMD, with the maximum effect observed at an atmospheric pressure of 989 hPa with no lag (RR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.25–1.69). As precipitation increases, the risk of HFMD decreases, with the maximum effect observed at a precipitation of 151 mm with a lag of 14 days (RR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.19–2.53).ConclusionMeteorological factors including average temperature, average atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, precipitation, and sunshine duration significantly influenced the risk of HFMD in Yangzhou City. Effective prevention measures for HFMD should be implemented, taking into account the local climate conditions.
Air pollution particulate matter (PM2.5) prediction in South African cities using machine learning techniques
Authors: Morapedi Tshepang Duncan , Obagbuwa Ibidun Christiana 
Published: October 2023

BackgroundAir pollution contributes to the most severe environmental and health problems due to industrial emissions and atmosphere contamination, produced by climate and traffic factors, fossil fuel combustion, and industrial characteristics. Because this is a global issue, several nations have established control of air pollution stations in various cities to monitor pollutants like Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Particulate Matter (PM2.5, PM10), to notify inhabitants when pollution levels surpass the quality threshold. With the rise in air pollution, it is necessary to construct models to capture data on air pollutant concentrations. Compared to other parts of the world, Africa has a scarcity of reliable air quality sensors for monitoring and predicting Particulate Matter (PM2.5). This demonstrates the possibility of extending research in air pollution control.MethodsMachine learning techniques were utilized in this study to identify air pollution in terms of time, cost, and efficiency so that different scenarios and systems may select the optimal way for their needs. To assess and forecast the behavior of Particulate Matter (PM2.5), this study presented a Machine Learning approach that includes Cat Boost Regressor, Extreme Gradient Boosting Regressor, Random Forest Classifier, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Decision Tree.ResultsCat Boost Regressor and Extreme Gradient Boosting Regressor were implemented to predict the latest PM2.5 concentrations for South African Cities with recording stations using past dated recordings, then the best performing model between the two is used to predict PM2.5 concentrations for South African Cities with no recording stations and also to predict future PM2.5 concentrations for South African Cities. K-Nearest Neighbor, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, and Random Forest Classifier were implemented to create a system predicting the Air Quality Index (AQI) Status.ConclusionThis study investigated various machine learning techniques for air pollution to analyze and predict air pollution behavior regarding air quality and air pollutants, detecting which areas are most affected in South African cities.

Published: October 2023

BackgroundPermanent synthetic meshes such as polypropylene (PP) have been utilized for hernia repair for decades, but concerns remain regarding potential long-term, mesh-related complications. A resorbable polymer such as poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) represents an alternative with high initial strength, that gradually resorbs, leaving an abdominal wall that is at least as strong as it would be in its native state. We aimed to compare early wound morbidity and clinical outcomes associated with P4HB to traditional, permanent PP in umbilical and small to medium, routine ventral hernias using data from the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC).MethodsInclusion criteria for the umbilical cohort included: all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) wound classes, all Ventral Hernia Working Group (VHWG) hernia grades, and hernia defects &lt;3 cm. The small to medium, routine ventral hernia cohort was limited to CDC class I wounds, VHWG hernia grades I and II, and hernia defects &lt;5 cm. The study group was comprised of P4HB meshes; the comparator group was an aggregate of PP meshes. Clinical outcomes were assessed at 30 days.ResultsThere was no significant difference in early wound morbidity, readmission, or reoperation between the P4HB and PP cohorts. A small number of patients experienced SSO, with ≤4% requiring procedural intervention. None of the patients (0% in all cases) experienced skin/soft tissue necrosis, infected seroma, infected hematoma, exposed/contaminated/infected mesh, enterocutaneous fistula, graft failure, or pain requiring intervention at 30-days. However, P4HB was associated with significantly greater operative time, length of stay, and use of myofascial release compared to PP (p &lt; 0.05 in all cases).ConclusionsShort-term clinical outcomes associated with resorbable P4HB mesh are comparable to permanent synthetic PP mesh in umbilical and small to medium, routine ventral hernia repairs, despite significant differences in operative time and length of stay. Longer-term follow-up is needed to expand on the clinical relevance of these short-term findings.

Relevance. Surgical treatment of patients with congenital orofacial clefts and comorbidities of other organs and systems remains a complex problem in specialized surgery, and it requires concentration of knowledge of individual characteristics and diagnosed disorders during their implementation, taking into account the sequence, volume and time of execution.Purpose. Optimize the tactics of surgical treatment of children born with orofacial clefts combined with disorders of other organs and systems, improving rehabilitation effectiveness.Material and methods. The work focuses on the results of a study of 2475 patients with congenital orofacial defects during the long-term follow-up period (1998-2022) in the Bonum Medical Center (Yekaterinburg). There were 823 cases of congenital orofacial clefts combined with disorders of other organs and systems. The disease combination groups were systematized and determined the tactics of surgical treatment of orofacial defects and the rehabilitation techniques for comorbid defects.Results. To date, out of 823 patients with orofacial clefts and comorbidities of other organs and systems, 591 (71.81%) patients are known to have received comprehensive surgical rehabilitation, part of them turned 18 years and were withdrawn from the long-term follow-up care, the rest – 232 (28.19%) continued to receive specialized care in the Bonum Center system. Of the 823 patients, 370 children needed primary cheilo-rhinoplasty, 196 people (52.97%) had surgery at the traditionally accepted time (in the first six months of the child's life), 302 children (81.62%) had surgery by the age of nine months, and 329 children (88.92%) by one year. Based on the individual indications, thirty-six children (9.73%) had surgery after one year, of which eight patients (2.16%) after two years. Of the 823 patients, 770 people needed palatoplasty (cleft repair of hard and soft palates), while in the conditions of special preparation, the operation was performed in 360 children (46.75%) by 18 months, in 483 children (62.73%) by24 months, and 588 children (76.36%) by the age of 3 years. Considering the cleft palate complexity, 102 children (13.25%) needed further treatment later due to physical condition restrictions and social reasons.Conclusion. The proposed strategy of surgical treatment of children with orofacial clefts combined with disorders of other organs and systems allows treatment of congenital orofacial malformation in the most favourable period based on the patient's physical condition.
