Demography has a fundamental place in a public health survey, and it is essential to provide the population follow-up. A population exhaustive census is the first compulsory phase. It turns out that this phase is necessary if we want to know with precision the size of the population studied and its main demographic characteristics (sex, age ...). The census allows us to provide a real population follow-up, in order to measure the evolution of the different disorders and to estimate the effects of a prophylaxis on each individual in a precise time. This follow-up requires a computerized population register which contains all the information concerning every individual. This data file is updated with new data collected by next surveys. The realization of the nominal population pyramid, is a complementary tool to the population follow-up. Each individual, characterized by sex and age, is allocated a position in the pyramid by his identification number. The figurative contrasts show several cases noticed according to the studied events. The reconstruction of the genealogy represents another form of the population follow-up, by reconstructing biological kinship relationships between the inhabitants.

Fertility in transgender and gender diverse people: systematic review of the effects of gender-affirming hormones on reproductive organs and fertility.
Hum Reprod Update
January 2025
Amsterdam UMC, Location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Centre of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people seek gender-affirming care at any age to manage gender identities or expressions that differ from their birth gender. Gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT) and gender-affirming surgery may alter reproductive function and/or anatomy, limiting future reproductive options to varying degrees, if individuals desire to either give birth or become a biological parent.
Objective And Rationale: TGD people increasingly pursue help for their reproductive questions, including fertility, fertility preservation, active desire for children, and future options.
Targeted distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets by community health workers to sustain household coverage: A pilot feasibility study in Western Uganda.
PLOS Glob Public Health
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America.
Universal coverage is defined by the World Health Organization as 1 long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) for 2 people in a household. While Uganda has been a leader in the distribution of LLINs, there are concerns regarding the longevity of LLINs. The main aim of this study was to address the LLIN coverage gap that emerges in the period after mass distribution campaigns through the implementation of a novel LLIN distribution strategy utilizing the existing community healthcare worker (CHW) infrastructure.

Discipline of Clinical Psychology, Graduate School of Health, University of Technology, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objective: Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a well-established treatment for anxiety disorders in the general population. However, the efficacy of CBT for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and otherwise non-heterosexual or non-cisgender (LGBTQ+) people with anxiety disorders is still emerging in the literature. This protocol proposes an exploratory, two-group, randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of CBT for anxiety disorders against a waitlist control group.

Introduction: Given its proximity to the central nervous system, surgical site infections (SSIs) after craniotomy (SSI-CRAN) represent a serious adverse event. SSI-CRAN are associated with substantial patient morbidity and mortality. Despite the recognition of SSI in other surgical fields, there is a paucity of evidence in the neurosurgical literature devoted to skin closure, specifically in patients with brain tumors.
