Article Abstract
Objective: To analyze the spatial distribution of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in China by geographic information system, and to draw up a map on HRFS risk areas.
Methods: A set of database was set up using the information collected and linked to electronic maps of China in a software ArcGIS 8.01 from 41 HFRS surveillance sites during 1995 - 1998. A HFRS spatial distribution model was developed using inverse distance weighted interpolation of ArcGIS's spatial analysis method. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in each HFRS surveillance site was extracted from SPOT4 satellite vegetation imagery. Correlation analysis was performed through SPSS 10.0 to analyze the association between NDVI and HFRS incidence, HFRS risk areas were mapped under different colors.
Results: Spatial distribution model from HFRS surveillance sites showed that HFRS foci mainly presented in the Heilongjiang River drainage, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Jinghang grant Canal-Huaihe River drainage. It was consistent with HFRS distribution map derived from national infectious disease reporting system. Correlation analysis indicated that HFRS incidence rates were significantly associated with NDVI (r = 0.417, P < 0.01). The HFRS risk areas was mapped according to NDVI of each surveillance site.
Conclusion: It is promising to apply GIS technology in predication of the distribution of HFRS by establishing this prediction model.

Background: Scrub typhus (ST), also known as tsutsugamushi disease, is a common febrile vector-borne illness in South Korea, transmitted by trombiculid mites infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi, with rodents serving as the main hosts. Although vector-borne diseases like ST require both a One Health approach and a spatiotemporal perspective to fully understand their complex dynamics, previous studies have often lacked integrated analyses that simultaneously address disease dynamics, vectors, and environmental shifts.
Objective: We aimed to explore spatiotemporal trends, high-risk areas, and risk factors of ST by simultaneously incorporating host and environmental information.

The aim is to review the temporal trend and spatial distribution of reported cases of sexual violence in Brazil from 2013 to 2022. This is a mixed ecological study, descriptive of multiple groups, with a temporal trend analysis. Notifications of sexual violence from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases were reviewed.

Population-based studies related to pre-eclampsia are scarce. The aim was to analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of deaths due to pre-eclampsia in Brazil from 2009 to 2020, characterizing the sociodemographic profile, distribution pattern, and presence of spatio-temporal clusters. It involved an ecological, population-based study using the Brazilian territory as the unit of analysis.

The multiplicity of orbitals in quantum systems significantly influences the competition between Kondo screening and local spin magnetization. The identification of orbital-specific processes is essential for advancing spintronic devices, as well as for enhancing the understanding of many-body quantum phenomena, but it remains a great challenge. Here, we use a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to investigate single iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules on MgO/Ag(100).

While Andreev bound states (ABSs) have been realized in engineered superconducting junctions, their direct observation in normal metal-superconductor heterostructures-enabled by quantum confinement-remains experimentally elusive. Here, we report the detection of ABSs in ultrathin metallic islands (Bi, Ag, and SnTe) grown on the s-wave superconductor NbN. Using high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we clearly reveal in-gap ABSs with energies symmetric about the Fermi level.
