There were 273,722 hospitalizations due to neurological disorders reported in Austria's nonprofit hospitals in 1997, including the related operated cases (14.12% of all 1.9 million hospitalizations). The individual disease groups, e.g., cerebrovascular disorders (59,269 admissions or 3.06%), multiple sclerosis (3,920 admissions or 0.2%) are detailed and the cost resulting from these diseases were estimated according to the Austrian Diagnosis Related Groups. The number of hospitalizations due to psychiatric disorders was 99,346 (5.13%). According to our results, we were able to estimate that 6,492 beds (at the moment 2,053 beds) were required for inpatient treatment in the area of neurology and psychiatry, which means one bed per 1,260 inhabitants.

Objective: To analyze the temporal and territorial relationship between health system financing fragmentation and maternal mortality in the last two decades in Mexico.
Methods: We conducted an ecological-longitudinal study of the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the 32 states of Mexico during the period 2000-2022. Annual MMRs were estimated at the national and state levels according to health insurance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of virus surveillance in public health and wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a non-invasive, cost-effective method for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 and its variants at the community level. Unfortunately, current variant surveillance methods depend heavily on updated genomic databases with data derived from clinical samples, which can become less sensitive and representative as clinical testing and sequencing efforts decline.In this paper, we introduce HERCULES (High-throughput Epidemiological Reconstruction and Clustering for Uncovering Lineages from Environmental SARS-CoV-2), an unsupervised method that uses long-read sequencing of a single 1 Kb fragment of the Spike gene.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents one of the most devastating forms of stroke, characterized by spontaneous bleeding into the brain parenchyma. This neurological emergency carries a substantial burden of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. A comprehensive understanding of ICH's evolving global impact from 1990 to 2021 remains essential for healthcare planning and resource allocation.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent condition among older adults and may be linked to cognitive health. This study explored a relationship between OAB and cognitive health among adults aged 60 ≥ years in the United States, using NHANES 2011-2014. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using a nationally representative sample of 2,324 (45.

Background: A pilot eyecare programme aimed to address the urgent eye health needs of older Zanzibari craftswomen. We investigated the impact of correcting presbyopia on their subjective well-being (SWB) 6 months post-correction and assessed the cost-effectiveness of a women-targeted presbyopia correction programme.
Methods: This study involved Zanzibari craftswomen aged 40 and older with presenting and corrected distance visual acuity better than 6/12 in both eyes and were presbyopic.
