Article Abstract
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the usefulness of the Delphi technique for facilitating community participation in local health needs assessments within the Andalusian Local Health Action Network, Spain. We developed an ad hoc online questionnaire based on the Social Determinants of Health model and applied it to a panel of experts in two municipalities in the province of Seville (Andalusia, Spain) between May and June 2021. Our results reflected good panelist participation. The questionnaire successfully enabled the prioritization of both new and original items, some of which were incorporated into local health policies. We concluded that the Delphi method was effective for facilitating participation in local health needs assessments offering a replicable, cost-effective approach that accelerated local policy development and supported the implementation of Health in All Policies within local government.

Background: Between November 2023 and March 2024, coastal Kenya experienced another wave of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections detected through our continued genomic surveillance. Herein, we report the clinical and genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infections from 179 individuals (a total of 185 positive samples) residing in the Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS) area (~ 900 km).
Methods: We analyzed genetic, clinical, and epidemiological data from SARS-CoV-2 positive cases across pediatric inpatient, health facility outpatient, and homestead community surveillance platforms.
Nitrous oxide (N2O) recreational use is increasing across Germany - a survey of the German neurological society among practicing neurologists.

German Neurological Society, Berlin, Germany.
Background: Recreational nitrous oxide (NO) abuse has become increasingly prevalent, raising concerns about associated health risks. In Germany, the lack of reliable data on NO consumption patterns limits the development of effective public health interventions. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by examining trends, determinants, and health consequences of NO abuse in Germany.

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.

Innovative technology allows for personalization of stimulation frequency in dual-site deep brain stimulation (DBS), offering promise for challenging symptoms in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly freezing of gait (FoG). Early results suggest that combining standard subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation with substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) stimulation may improve FoG outcomes. However, patient response and the optimal SNr stimulation frequency vary.

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) and the absence of physical activity (PA) have become increasingly prevalent in modern societies due to changes in physical and social-environmental conditions, particularly in university students. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and identify the prevalence and correlates of self-reported and accelerometer-determined SB and PA of German university students.
Methods: A convenience sample of 532 students participated in a questionnaire survey during the lecture period in the summer term 2018.
