With climate change, the geographic distribution of some VBDs has expanded, highlighting the need for adaptation, and managing the risks associated with emergence in new areas. We conducted a questionnaire survey on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) about vector-borne diseases (VBDs) among sample of Finnish residents. The questions were scored and the level of KAP was determined based on scoring as poor, fair, good, or excellent.

- Understanding the infection dynamics of zoonotic diseases like Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) is crucial for assessing human risks from wildlife.
- A study in Finland analyzed bank vole populations, rodent and predator dynamics, and environmental factors over five years to see how these affect PUUV prevalence and human infection rates.
- Key findings revealed that an increase in certain predators and a higher number of young bank voles can lower the number of infected bank voles, ultimately reducing the risk of PUUV for humans.
Objectives: The Puumala virus (PUUV) is a hantavirus that causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Studies showing an increased risk of lymphoid malignancies after hantavirus infection, together with the observation that PUUV infects B cells, motivated us to study the risk of lymphoid malignancies after PUUV infection.
Methods: We linked data from the Finnish Cancer Registry and National Infectious Diseases Register for 2009-2019.
Objectives: Our study described how the WHO intra-action review (IAR) methodology was operationalised and customised in three Western Balkan countries and territories and the Republic of Moldova and analysed the common key findings to inform analyses of the lessons learnt from the pandemic response.
Design: We extracted data from the respective IAR reports and performed a qualitative thematic content analysis to identify common (between countries and territories) and cross-cutting (across the response pillars) themes on best practices, challenges and priority actions. The analysis involved three stages, namely: extraction of data, initial identification of emerging themes and review and definition of the themes.
Elbow dislocations are very common, particularly in the posterolateral variety. Closed reduction is usually easy. However, an irreducible elbow dislocation without associated fracture is rare.
