Article Abstract
Background: Health professionals face barriers in carrying out effective health promotion and disease prevention. To indicate what are the needs for curriculum development in educational programmes, this study aims to provide an overview of how various health professionals are currently trained in health promotion and disease prevention at different educational levels.
Methods: In 2019, a descriptive mapping exercise was performed focusing on European programmes for different health and healthcare professionals at the three levels of education (undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuous professional development [CPD]). Data were collected by a self-developed online survey that was distributed using a modified snowball method.
Results: A total of 186 educational programmes of 17 different health professionals were analysed, implemented in 31 countries (60% were undergraduate, 30% postgraduate and 10% CPD programmes). Nearly all programmes indicated that expected outcomes were defined on knowledge (99%), skills (94%) and behaviours/attitudes (89%) regarding health promotion and disease prevention. A multidisciplinary approach was reported to be applied by 81% of the programmes. Traditional teaching methods such as lectures (97%) and assignments (81%) were dominant, while e-learning was less frequently used (46%). Digitalization in health promotion and digital health coaching were the least addressed topics in most programmes.
Conclusions: Health promotion and disease prevention are reported at all surveyed levels of education for a broad spectrum of health professionals. Educational programmes cover contents on knowledge, skills, and behaviours. There is a need for capacity building and joint development in health promotion education. Specifically, there is a need to include digitalisation and novel teaching in the educational programmes of health promotion and disease prevention.

Here, using whole-exome sequencing of a cohort of 17 Japanese patients with 46,XY disorders or differences of sex development, we identified two pathogenic DEAH-box helicase 37 (DHX37) variants in three patients. We also identified a patient with a likely pathogenic variant in SOX9 and a rare likely benign variant in DHX37. This Data Report highlights the genetic and phenotypic diversity of DXH37 variants.

Objective: Interleukin-17-producing CD4 Th17 cells contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including crescentic glomerulonephritis. Although ADAM9 has been reported to contribute to organ inflammation, the mechanism remains poorly understood. The goal of the current study was to investigate how ADAM9 alters T cell metabolism to promote the generation of Th17 cell differentiation.

Fungal diseases in agricultural crops cause economic losses, with chemical control being the conventional method to manage them. However, this approach negatively impacts both the environment and human health. This study focused on endophytic fungi isolated from the roots of Ceratozamia mirandae in the Mexican locality of Juan Sabines (Villa Corzo, Chiapas).

Therefore, the knowledge gained from international health experiences can be applied to the public health administration in Japan. The purpose of this study was to clarify the competencies and knowledge possessed by those with international health experience and their acquisition process, and to examine how they are applied to public health administration in Japan.
