Article Abstract
Objective: To study the infection status of HIV-1 among blood recipients from 1994 to 1998 in certain areas of Hebei province.
Methods: A general investigation was set up among all the people in 15 townships of certain areas from November 2003 to February 2005. An epidemiological investigation was conducted among people who had received blood from donors, during 1994 and 1998. Blood samples were collected. ELISA was used in preliminary screening and Western-blot (WB) was used among people who showed a positive result in the preliminary screening.
Results: The infection rate of HIV-1 after blood receipt was 15.54% (92/592), and the infected persons were all appeared in five medical centers of 6 townships which located at the west part of the area. HIV-1 infection happened over the years, and reaching the zenith in the year 1995. Most of the infected persons were young women. Procreation was the main cause of blood transfusion for women and trauma was for men.

Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the species composition of the Caryanda tamdaoensis species-group within the Acrididae family, highlighting the description of a new species called Caryanda hongheensis from China.
- - A new synonym is proposed, reclassifying Caryanda tamdaoensis as the same species as Caryanda aurata, leading to a renaming of the Caryanda aurata group to the Caryanda tamdaoensis group.
- - Additionally, Caryanda azurea is split into two subspecies: one from Vietnam and another from China, and a key to identify all species and subspecies in this group is provided, along with illustrations for clarity.
Healthy food diversity and the risk of major chronic diseases in the EPIC-Potsdam study.

Practicing a diverse diet may reduce chronic disease risk, but clear evidence is scarce and previous diet diversity measures rarely captured diet quality. We investigated the effect of the Healthy Food Diversity (HFD)-Index on incident type 2 diabetes (T2D), myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke among a middle-aged German population. The EPIC-Potsdam study recruited 27,548 participants from 1994 to 1998.

Following the devastating 1994 Genocide, the Government of Rwanda and its citizens have worked relentlessly to rebuild the country and reassemble a strong health system. Immediately after the genocide, global development partners sought to swiftly provide aid and support to the country to address urgent health system needs. However, inadequate coordination of the influx of aid resulted in duplicated efforts and inefficient health sector management.

Objective: Experimental studies suggest that carotenoids and tocopherols modulate pancreatic carcinogenesis because they have antioxidant and other functions. We investigated the associations between intakes of these compounds and the risk of pancreatic cancer in a case-control study conducted in 1994-1998.
Methods: The present analysis included 150 cases of pancreatic cancer recruited from all hospitals in the metropolitan area of the Twin Cities and Mayo Clinic and 459 controls randomly selected from the general population and frequency matched to cases by age, sex, and race.
Background: Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) is associated with subclinical and overt cardiovascular disease and stroke. The association between eCO with left atrial size, prevalent, or incident atrial fibrillation (AF) are uncertain.
Methods: eCO was measured using an Ecolyzer instrument among Framingham Heart Study Offspring and Omni participants who attended an examination from 1994 to 1998.
