Use of medical terminologies and mappings across them are considered to be crucial pre-requisites for achieving interoperable eHealth applications. Built upon the outcomes of several research projects, we introduce a framework for evaluating and utilizing terminology mappings that offers a platform for i) performing various mappings strategies, ii) representing terminology mappings together with their provenance information, and iii) enabling terminology reasoning for inferring both new and erroneous mappings. We present the results of the introduced framework from SALUS project where we evaluated the quality of both existing and inferred terminology mappings among standard terminologies.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants with increasing prevalence in agricultural soils, primarily introduced through biosolid application, wastewater irrigation, and atmospheric deposition. This review provides a meta-analysis of terminologies across 145 peer-reviewed studies, identifying inconsistency in the classification of PFAS subgroups-such as "long-chain vs. short-chain," "precursors," and "emerging PFAS"-which hinders regulatory harmonization and model calibration.

Purpose: Ensuring medication safety remains a pressing challenge in fragmented healthcare systems, particularly with the rapid growth of Internet Hospitals and limited pharmacist resources. Existing prescription review tools are often siloed and lack cross-institutional scalability. This study presents a cloud-based, dual-layer prescription review system (CEPR) designed to support provincial integration across Internet and outpatient care.

Background: Routine immunization was severely disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) in Indonesia. While community-based surveillance (CBS) was instrumental in COVID-19 detection, its role in VPD monitoring remains limited.
Objective: This study explores practices, challenges, and future opportunities to develop a CBS for vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs).

Chronic dermatologic diseases are characterized by pathophysiologic complexity and the existence of many unmet patient management needs that can contribute to treatment failure, with poor adherence being a major issue. This study aims to identify key topics in this field, using the Web of Science database. To perform this analysis, tools such as VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, and Excel were used.

Background: The eTRANSAFE project developed tools that support translational research. One of the challenges in this project was to combine preclinical and clinical data, which are coded with different terminologies and granularities, and are expressed as single pre-coordinated, clinical concepts and as combinations of preclinical concepts from different terminologies. This study develops and evaluates the Rosetta Stone approach, which maps combinations of preclinical concepts to clinical, pre-coordinated concepts, allowing for different levels of exactness of mappings.
