Article Abstract

There was no global guidance or agreement regarding when a country has an adequate system to report on the service packages among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) key populations. This article describes an approach to categorizing the system in a country for reporting the service package among HIV key populations. The approach consists of four dimensions, namely the epidemiological significance, comprehensiveness of the service packages, geographic coverage of services, and adequacy of the monitoring system. The proposed categorization approach utilizes available information and can inform the improvement of the service delivery and monitoring systems among HIV key populations.

Background: Little is documented on key community-based One Health (OH) approach implementation, pro-activeness and effectiveness of interactions and strategies against Mpox outbreak public health emergency in international concern (PHEIC) in various African countries in order to stamp out the persisting Mpox outbreak threat and burden. Prioritizing critical community-based interventions and lessons learned from previous COVID-19, Mpox, Ebola, COVID-19, Rift Valley Fever and Marburg virus outbreaks revealed critical shortcomings in funding, surveillance, and community engagement that plague public health initiatives across the continent. The article provides critical insights and benefits of community-based One Health approaches implementation against Mpox outbreak management in Africa.

Background: The CRP-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index has potential clinical value as a novel marker integrating inflammatory, nutritional and immune status in the development of colorectal polyps. This study examined whether gender factors influence the association between CALLY and colorectal polyps; in addition to elucidating whether metabolic pathways mediate this relationship.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 5409 adult health screening participants who completed colonoscopy.

The Grams model, designed to predict adverse event risks in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, was evaluated in a Chinese cohort of 1,333 patients with eGFR below 30 mL/min/1.73 m. The model demonstrated moderate to good discrimination across outcomes, performing well in predicting kidney replacement therapy (KRT) but overestimating the risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and liver fat accumulation. However, the specific mediating role of liver-related metabolic indicators in this association has not been fully studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) and OSA, focusing on the mediating effects of liver fat percentage (PLF) and hepatic steatosis index (HSI).
