Paratuberculosis (PTB), or Johne's disease, is a disease with worldwide distribution caused by subsp (MAP) that leads to chronic enteritis, primarily in ruminants. Even subclinical infection significantly reduces the animals' performance, and consequences of the disease lead to high economic losses for the cattle industry. To estimate the economic burden of bovine PTB and to evaluate the benefits of a potential control program, accurate estimates of the production effects associated with the disease are required.

Objectives: To describe the treatment for secondary health conditions as reported by individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to identify potential predictors of treatment.
Setting: Community (people with SCI living in Switzerland).
Article Synopsis
- The study is an observational, population-based cohort analysis focused on survival differences in individuals with non-traumatic spinal cord injuries (NTSCI) compared to traumatic injuries (TSCI).
- Medical records from Swiss rehabilitation centers were analyzed alongside national mortality data to determine how different causes of NTSCI affect survival rates.
- Findings indicate higher mortality rates for NTSCI, especially in cases related to malignancies, reinforcing the need for tailored long-term care strategies for NTSCI patients.
To investigate the burden of sleep problems within the Spinal Cord injured (SCI) community with respect to the general population (GP) in Switzerland. The study further explored potential predictors for receiving treatment for sleep problems after SCI. Cross-sectional study.
