Practices developed by nurses in primary health care in southern Brazil.

Objective: To understand the practices developed by nurses in primary care in southern Brazil.

Method: Qualitative study, with data collection via online interviews, conducted between October 2020 and May 2021, and recorded. 174 nurses from 24 municipalities in southern Brazil participated.

[COVID-19 vaccination status, sources of used information and socio-demographic characteristics-results of the CoSiD study].

Background: Despite the benefits of a COVID-19 vaccination, too few people in Germany were still considered vaccinated in the summer of 2022. This was explained, among other factors, by socio-demographic differences. The article also analyses this correlation by including the sources of information used on corona vaccination based on the data from the third survey of the "Accompanying research on the communication of corona vaccination in Germany" (CoSiD study, Nov.

[Reasons of Individuals 60 Years and Older in Germany for not Getting Vaccinated against Covid-19].

Purpose: To identify the reasons of individuals aged 60 years and older in Germany for not getting vaccinated against Covid-19.

Methods: Data for this study were collected in July/August 2021 from "Kommunikation der Corona-Schutzimpfung in Deutschland" (CoSiD)", a representative survey of the general adult population in Germany. The focus was on individuals aged 60 years and older in our current study (n=1,281 individuals).

Age alters the thermoregulatory responses to extreme heat exposure with accompanying activities of daily living.

Older adults are at greater risk for heat-related morbidity and mortality, due in part to age-related reductions in heat dissipating capabilities. Previous studies investigating the impact of age on responses to heat stress used approaches that lack activities of daily living and therefore may not accurately depict the thermal/physiological strain that would occur during actual heatwaves. We sought to compare the responses of young (18-39 yr) and older (≥65 yr) adults exposed to two extreme heat simulations.
