The first groundwater modeling of the Bandung Aquifer Basin in 2009 used a finite difference method with a 0.5 km² grid, representing three volcanic geological layers. It assumed uniform hydraulic properties and used an equivalent homogeneous aquifer with anisotropic hydraulic conductivity.

Background: We aimed to identify the central lifestyle, the most impactful among lifestyle factor clusters; the central health outcome, the most impactful among health outcome clusters; and the bridge lifestyle, the most strongly connected to health outcome clusters, across 29 countries to optimise resource allocation for local holistic health improvements.

Methods: From July 2020 to August 2021, we surveyed 16 461 adults across 29 countries who self-reported changes in 18 lifestyle factors and 13 health outcomes due to the pandemic. Three networks were generated by network analysis for each country: lifestyle, health outcome, and bridge networks.

Background: People who suffered type 2 diabetes have impaired healing of wounds due to the large number of circulating inflammatory cells resulting from high blood sugar levels. The wound healing process involves various complex processes including the degradation of extracellular matrix, a process characterized by an increase in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Conventional management of diabetic wounds usually involves systemic blood sugar control and topical antimicrobial treatment, including hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine, which are known to be cytotoxic to the cells involved in the wound healing cascade.

Background: Biomechanical changes and neuromuscular adaptations have been suggested as risk factors of secondary injury in individuals after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLr). To achieve a better understanding of preventive mechanisms, movement quality is an important factor of consideration. Few studies have explored time-series analysis during landing alongside clinical performance in injured and non-injured individuals.

Article Synopsis
  • A study surveyed over 16,500 adults from 30 countries to assess their fears related to various diseases and events, focusing on the implications for public health strategies.
  • The most significant fear reported was the loss of family members, followed by fears of cancer and stroke, while factors such as losing a mobile phone and social isolation ranked as less feared.
  • The findings suggest that understanding these fears can enhance public health messaging and support initiatives aimed at addressing bereavement, promoting preventive services for diseases, and managing fears during health emergencies.
