Rabies control in Bangladesh and prediction of human rabies cases by 2030: a One Health approach.

Background: Bangladesh is making progress toward achieving zero dog-mediated rabies deaths by 2030, a global goal set in 2015.

Methods: Drawing from multiple datasets, including patient immunisation record books and mass dog vaccination (MDV) databases, we conducted a comprehensive analysis between 2011 and 2023 to understand the effectiveness of rabies control programmes and predict human rabies cases in Bangladesh by 2030 using time-series forecasting models. We also compared rabies virus sequences from GenBank in Bangladesh and other South Asian countries.

Eat-Radar: Continuous Fine-Grained Intake Gesture Detection Using FMCW Radar and 3D Temporal Convolutional Network With Attention.

Unhealthy dietary habits are considered as the primary cause of various chronic diseases, including obesity and diabetes. The automatic food intake monitoring system has the potential to improve the quality of life (QoL) of people with diet-related diseases through dietary assessment. In this work, we propose a novel contactless radar-based approach for food intake monitoring.

Acute Respiratory Infection Incidence and Outpatient Antibiotic Prescription Patterns in People With or Without Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Virtual Cohort Study.

Background: Inappropriate antibiotic use in acute respiratory infections (ARIs) is a major public health concern; however, data for people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) are limited.

Methods: The HIV Virtual Cohort Study is a retrospective cohort of adult Department of Defense beneficiaries. Male PWH cases (n = 2413) were matched 1:2 to controls without HIV (n = 4826) by age, gender, race/ethnicity, and beneficiary status.

Just Plain Hot: Examining Summer Daily High Heat Indices and Community-Level Social Vulnerability on Emergency Medical Services On-Scene Responses in San Antonio, Texas, 2015-2018.

Introduction Increased summer heat has a deleterious effect on people's health and the healthcare system. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are at the healthcare system frontline, responsive to the community and environmental conditions. The present study examined how EMS on-scene response is affected by community-level social vulnerability and heat.
