INTRODUCTION: Social and demographic characteristics are crucial determinants of health. The objective of this contribution is to study the associations of skin symptoms and sociodemographic variables in the general population, and to discuss these findings in view of the biomedical and the biopsychosocial models of skin diseases. METHODS: A national face-to-face household survey with a representative sample of the German general population assessed 19 self-reported skin symptoms ( N = 2,487)...

In order to analyze the relationship between organic matrix and eggshell properties in Muscovy duck eggshells with different qualities, the organic matrices in the eggshells of normal, pimpled, and striped eggs of white-feathered Muscovy ducks were extracted and separated into acid-insoluble, water-insoluble, and facultative-soluble matrix (both acid- and water-soluble). There was no significant difference in calcified shell thickness between normal and pimpled eggs. However, the percentages of acid-insoluble matrix and total matrix were significantly higher, and the breaking strength was significantly lower in pimpled eggs than those in normal eggs...

BACKGROUND: Imported fire ants aggressively sting humans, leading to a variety of local and systemic effects. Fire ants display a behavioral adaptation to survive flooding, called "rafting," bringing humans into even more contact with fire ants. METHODS: To assess frequency of encounters with fire ant rafts, duck hunters on the website "Duck Hunter's Forum" were asked about their experiences with the ants while wading or boating in flooded areas. All members of the group received a brief explanation and asked to respond directly if they had had such an encounter...

Uvulitis is the inflammation and swelling of the uvula, usually associated with infection of nearby structures. Uvulitis can be treated symptomatically, using medication or in some cases with uvulectomy, the uvula surgical removal or shortening. Traditional uvulectomy by traditional practitioners has been practiced in Africa for ages, associated with adverse outcomes. Although there is no empirical evidence for the association between adverse outcomes and traditional uvulectomy in Uganda, anecdotal findings showed incidents of uvula infections following uvulectomy in central Uganda...

The aim of the study was to assess the influence of shell defects on the quality of eggs after storage. The study material consisted of 1,800 brown-shelled eggs from cage rearing system which were candled on the day of laying to determine the shell quality. Eggs with the 6 most common shell defects (external crack, severe stripe marks, points, wrinkled, pimples, sandy) and eggs without defects (control group) were then stored for 35 days at 14°C and 70% humidity. The weight loss of eggs was monitored every 7 days, and the quality characteristics of whole eggs (weight, specific gravity, shape), shell (defects, strength, color, weight, thickness, density), albumen (weight, height, pH) and yolk (weight, color, pH) of 30 eggs from each group were analysed at the beginning (0 days) and after 28 and 35 days of storage...

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of early clinical manifestations, people's perceptions and behaviours is crucial in preventing and controlling neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Cutaneous leishmaniasis is an NTD that causes skin lesions and affects millions worldwide. Delayed healthcare-seeking behaviour leading to prolonged treatment periods and complications is rife among people with cutaneous leishmaniasis. This study examined the patient-reported early clinical manifestations of cutaneous leishmaniasis, local interpretations and associated health behaviours within the socio-cultural context of rural Sri Lanka...

BACKGROUND: With the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increase and scaling up of provider-to-provider telemedicine programs that connect frontline health providers such as nurses and community health workers at primary care clinics with remote doctors at tertiary facilities to facilitate consultations for rural patients. Considering this new trend of increasing use of telemedicine, this study was conducted to generate evidence for patients, health providers, and policymakers to compare if provider-to-provider telemedicine-based care is equivalent to in-person care and is safe and acceptable in terms of diagnostic and treatment standards...

BACKGROUND: While cervical cancer deaths have declined steeply in high-income countries due to the widespread use of the Papanicolaou test (Pap test), the same trend has not emerged in low or middle-income countries (LMICs). Access to screening in LMICs like India is limited due to barriers such as limited healthcare infrastructures, lack of sexual health education, and stigma demarcating sexually transmitted infections (STIs). HPV self-sampling (HPV-SS), a woman-centered and at-home method for screening, can be utilized as a unique screening tool to overcome some of these barriers...

Computational fluid dynamics- (CFD-) based component-level numerical simulation technology has been widely used in the design of aeroengines. However, due to the strong coupling effects between components, the numerical simulation of the whole engine considering the full three-dimensional flow and multi-component chemical reaction is still very difficult at present. Aimed at this problem, an efficient implicit solver, 'sprayDyMFoam' for an unstructured mesh, is developed in this paper based on the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer...

Acne is a common chronic skin condition with serious physical and psychosocial consequences. In some cases, the appearance of pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads on the face, neck, and back may lead to scarring, disfiguring, depression, frustration, and anxiety in patients. Current treatments rely on antibiotics to eradicate Cutibacterium acnes ( C. acnes ), the bacterium responsible for this skin condition. However, these approaches do not scavenge the reactive oxidative species (ROS) generated during disease development and raise concerns about the increase in antimicrobial resistance...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There has been no validated tool for objectively quantifying the overall condition and characteristics of the scalp. This study aimed to establish and validate a new classification and scoring system for evaluating scalp conditions. METHODS: The Scalp Photographic Index (SPI) using a trichoscope grades 5 features of scalp conditions (Dryness, Oiliness, Erythema, Folliculitis, and Dandruff) on a score of 0 to 3. To evaluate the validity of SPI, SPI grading was performed by 3 experts on the scalps of 100 subjects along with a dermatologist's assessment of the scalps and a scalp-related symptom survey...

BACKGROUND: The recent World Health Organization recommendation supporting single-dose of HPV vaccine will significantly reduce programmatic cost, mitigate the supply shortage, and simplify logistics, thus allowing more low- and middle-income countries to introduce the vaccine. From a programmatic perspective the durability of protection offered by a single-dose will be a key consideration. The primary objectives of the present study were to determine whether recipients of a single-dose of quadrivalent HPV vaccine had sustained immune response against targeted HPV types (HPV 6,11,16,18) at 10 years post-vaccination and whether this response was superior to the natural antibody titres observed in unvaccinated women...

REVIEW
Xue Cheng, Zhonghua Ning
The eggshell quality declined with extending of chicken laying cycles. Eggshell quality is a crucial feature that not only affects consumer preference, but also influences producers' economic profitability. The eggshell ultrastructure consists of mammillary, palisade, and vertical crystal layers. Any defect in shell structure results in a reduction in eggshell quality. Speckled, translucent, pimpled, and soft eggshells are common defects that cause significant financial losses for farmers and food security concerns for consumers...
