Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to develop an evidence map on the strategies for preventing and controlling infestation and related viral infections.
Methods: The evidence map was created according to the methodology of the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME). Publication searches were performed in MEDLINE/PubMed and the Virtual Health Library, filtered for systematic reviews (SRs) only. The methodological quality of the SR was accessed using the AMSTAR2 tool, and Tableau software was used to construct the evidence map.
Results: A total of 44 SRs on the prevention and control of infestation and related viral infections (dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever viruses) were included in the map. The evidence map indicates 130 associations between 59 interventions and 18 outcomes. The reported interventions were categorized into 10 groups, including community/educational actions, use of repellents, immunization, individual protection, diagnostics, biological and chemical control of the vector, epidemiological surveillance, environmental actions, and combined interventions. The described outcomes were grouped as mosquito infestation, behavior change, prevention and control, immunological response, safety, and epidemiological surveillance.
Conclusion: The elaborated map highlighted strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of vaccination, DEET repellents, community participation, chemical control of the vector, and combined housing interventions in protecting against the vector and transmitted viruses. Nonetheless, several evidence gaps remain in the knowledge of how to best prevent and control the vector and its related viral infections, underscoring the need for high-quality SRs and primary studies.

Background/objectives: The importance of pro-equity strategies in addressing disadvantages that people and communities face due to their gender, migration status, ethnicity, disability, and place of residence is increasingly being recognised, but analysis of empirical evidence on how they improve vaccination in these priority groups is limited. This systematic review aims to fill this gap.
Methods: Standard evidence synthesis methods were employed, with searches conducted in four major bibliographic databases in March 2025.
Evaluating the Implementation of Online Postal Self-Sampling for Sexually Transmitted Infections in England: Multisite Qualitative Study.
J Med Internet Res
September 2025
University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Online postal self-sampling (OPSS) allows service users to screen for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by ordering a self-sampling kit online, taking their own samples, returning them to a laboratory for testing, and receiving their results remotely. OPSS availability and use has increased in both the United Kingdom and globally the past decade but has been adopted in different regions of England at different times, with different models of delivery. It is not known why certain models were decided on or how implementation strategies have influenced outcomes, including the sustainability of OPSS in sexual health service delivery.

Introduction: Trauma is the leading cause of death among individuals aged 1-44 years, and it is estimated that many of these deaths could be prevented. Clinical guidance is an essential step toward the optimization of trauma care, especially within rural environments. This qualitative case series seeks to better understand how trauma clinical guidance (TCG) plays a role in rural trauma providers' patient management.

Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Antioquia, Carrera 73 # 53-93, Medellín, Colombia.
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients affected by COVID-19 and has been strongly associated with increased mortality. However, its independent contribution remains debated. This study aimed to evaluate the independent association using a directed acyclic graph-based approach.
