Abstract: The National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Global Health Research Unit on Respiratory Health (RESPIRE) aims to reduce morbidity and mortality from respiratory diseases in Asia [1]. To achieve RESPIRE’s goal of improved respiratory health in Asia, we needed to develop and maintain successful, collaborative relationships built on trust between researchers, communities, and stakeholders. Engaging […]The post Engaging stakeholders and communities to improve respiratory health in Asia appeared first on JOGH. PubDate: Sat, 07 May 2022 21:49:00 +000

Abstract: The use of illicit drugs is associated with numerous negative psychological, physiological, financial, social, and legal effects [1]. The restrictions associated with COVID-19 have exacerbated these outcomes for many people around the world, with an increase in anxiety and depression and reduced overall well-being being evident [2]. Restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have limited […]The post Illicit drug use in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic appeared first on JOGH. PubDate: Sat, 07 May 2022 21:31:00 +000

Abstract: San Diego, California and Tijuana, Baja California are divided by an international border but inhabited by a shared population. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted how these cities are not only geographically and socioeconomically tied, but epidemiologically linked as well. The cities differ, however, in terms of resources, and this was acutely highlighted by their access to […]The post A binational USA-Mexico COVID-19 vaccine clinic: A novel model for cross-border collaboration in health crisis appeared first on JOGH.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: IMPORTANCE OF SKIN BARRIER HOMEOSTASIS Maintenance of epidermal permeability barrier homeostasis is required for life in a desiccating, often hostile, terrestrial environment. Children over six months of age and adults who are armed with robust metabolic machinery readily cope with most external stressors [1]. In contrast, individuals with sub-optimal permeability barriers – including the […]The post Optimised emollient mixture for skin barrier repair: Applications to global child health appeared first on JOGH.

Abstract: An estimated 7 million episodes of newborn (possibly severe) infections occur globally each year, including sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis [1]. Most newborn infection deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and are preventable [2], resulting in approximately half a million neonatal deaths [3–5]. Appropriate and timely treatment with antibiotics is vital for neonatal infection […]The post Measuring coverage and quality of supportive care for inpatient neonatal infections: EN-BIRTH multi-country validation study appeared first on JOGH.

Abstract: Information on place of death (PoD) is crucial for informing the development of public health policies that ensure the provision of adequate end-of-life care for patients and bereaved survivors [1,2]. Studies identifying factors associated with PoD show that the determining factors for PoD are age, sex, marital status, level of education, place of residence, cause […]The post Place of death and associated factors in 12 Latin American countries: A total population study using death certificate data appeared first on JOGH.

Abstract: Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of mortality in children aged below five years worldwide [1]. The overall global incidence of pneumonia is 0.22 (IQR = 0.11-0.51) episodes per child-year [2]. Approximately 68 million pneumonia episodes and 650 000 deaths due to pneumonia were estimated to have occurred in 2016 [3]. There is a notable discrepancy between […]The post Accuracy of non-physician health workers in respiratory rate measurement to identify paediatric pneumonia in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis appeared first on JOGH.

Abstract: Globally, cancer ranks among the most common causes of death, especially among people under 70 years of age [1]. With this burden rapidly increasing globally, utilizing prediction tools to assist decision-making and encourage individualized treatment planning is gradually becoming paramount in cancer diagnosis and management. Notably, many tools constructed on the backend of artificial intelligence […]The post Artificial intelligence-based prediction for cancer-related outcomes in Africa: Status and potential refinements appeared first on JOGH.

Abstract: The headline of a January 18, 2022 news story in the Wall Street Journal read “Drugmaker Gilead Alleges Counterfeiting Ring Sold Its HIV Drugs.” The article reported that counterfeit HIV medicines sometimes contained over-the-counter painkillers or antipsychotic drugs. Unfortunately, the subject in this title is not a one-off occurrence; it is a global health issue.
