Article Synopsis
- Pistachios are a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important for eye health as they contribute to the macular pigment (MP) in the retina.
- This study examined how eating 2 ounces of pistachios daily for 12 weeks affected the macular pigment optical density (MPOD) in middle-aged to older adults with low initial MPOD levels.
- The results showed a significant increase in MPOD for those consuming pistachios, while no changes were observed in the usual diet group, indicating that pistachio consumption may help improve eye health in this population.
This study examined the impact of armed conflict on public health surveillance systems, the limitations of traditional surveillance in this context, and innovative strategies to overcome these limitations. A qualitative case study was conducted to examine the factors affecting the functioning of poliovirus surveillance in conflict-affected areas of Borno state, Nigeria using semi-structured interviews of a purposeful sample of participants. The main inhibitors of surveillance were inaccessibility, the destroyed health infrastructure, and the destroyed communication network.

Recent Findings: COVID-19 increases the vulnerability of those at highest risk of acquiring STI/HIV. Altered health-seeking behaviour, reductions in STI/HIV clinic capacity, service disruptions and redeployment of human resources to assist COVID-19 control efforts have impacted on STI/HIV control programmes.
