Background: Last-minute travelers (LMTs) present significant challenges for travel health services and are considered vulnerable due to their lack of health preparation. However, there is a lack of data to support this assumption.
Methods: The proportion of LMTs was investigated through a cross-sectional study involving all Thai travelers who visited the Thai Travel Clinic before their departure abroad.
Medical Costs and Caregiver Burden of Delivering Disease-Modifying Alzheimer's Treatments with Different Duration and Route of Administration.
J Prev Alzheimers Dis
October 2024
Soeren Mattke, M.D., D.Sc. Director, The USC Brain Health Observatory, Research Professor of Economics, USC Dornsife, 635 Downey Way, #505N, Los Angeles, CA 90089, Mobile: +1 202 468 5797,
Background: Multiple disease modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease are currently in clinical development or have been recently approved for use. They have vastly different treatment properties but so far, little work has been done to quantify the impact of treatment properties on the treatment's value in terms of medical and social care costs and caregiver burden.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze how the mode of treatment administration, treatment frequency and duration, and monitoring requirements affect the value of disease modifying treatments.
Trend, burden and determinants of undiagnosed hypertension in the Horn of Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
PLoS One
August 2024
Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Institute of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Science, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.
Article Synopsis
- Undiagnosed hypertension affects 17% of the population in the Horn of Africa, with prevalence increasing from 13% in 2006 to 20% in 2023.
- Various factors contribute to undiagnosed hypertension, including age (especially those over 45), lack of physical activity, poor health-seeking behavior, and low vegetable consumption.
- Addressing these determinants through targeted interventions could help reduce the growing trend of undiagnosed hypertension in the region.
Identification of unmet palliative care needs of nursing home residents: A scoping review protocol.
PLoS One
August 2024
School of Computer Science and Information Technology, University College Cork, Cork, Ireland.
Introduction: Nursing home residents often have life limiting illnesses in combination with multiple comorbidities, cognitive deficits, and frailty. Due to these complex characteristics, a high proportion of nursing home residents require palliative care. However, many do not receive palliative care relative to this need resulting in unmet care needs.

BMC Palliat Care
August 2024
Division of Health Research, International Observatory on End-of-life Care, Faculty of Health and Medicine, Lancaster University, Lancaster, LA1 4AT, UK.
Background: Patients living with life-limiting illnesses other than cancer constitute the majority of patients in need of palliative care globally, yet most previous systematic reviews of the cost impact of palliative care have not exclusively focused on this population. Reviews that tangentially looked at non-cancer patients found inconclusive evidence. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for treatment efficacy, while total health care costs offer a comprehensive measure of resource use.
