A scoping review was performed to identify factors that may lead to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine hesitancy among women in low- and middle-income countries in South East Asian Region (SEAR) and Western Pacific Region (WPR). A systematic search of English and non-English articles using Pubmed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane, MEDLINE, and CINAHL plus was conducted. Only 63 studies conducted in SEAR and WPR were included from inception until December 2016. Results of these studies have shown that poor awareness and knowledge of practices on cervical cancer prevention was evident in both SEAR and WPR. Concerns on safety and efficacy of the vaccine, and costs in getting vaccinated were significant barriers. Most women stated that they needed more information, and strongly welcomed a physician's recommendation in both geographical regions. Women also felt they have a low risk of acquiring HPV infection and cervical cancer. Most women in SEAR and WPR were unable to decide on whether to accept HPV vaccination.

Systematic review of bovine and zoonotic tuberculosis in the Western Pacific and the Southeast Asia regions of the World Health Organization.

Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health issue, prompting a systematic review of its distribution in the WHO's Southeast Asia Region (SEAR) and Western Pacific Region (WPR) to better understand the risks posed by bovine and zoonotic TB.
- The study involved a comprehensive search for relevant literature and official reports, focusing on data from various databases while excluding non-English articles.
- Results showed that while SEAR primarily reported human cases from India, WPR provided data from multiple countries, with most zoonotic TB human cases documented only in Australia, highlighting discrepancies in reporting and challenges in addressing the disease across regions.
Global prevalence and correlates of mpox vaccine acceptance and uptake: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Vaccination has been recommended as one of the most potent ways of controlling the mpox (formerly, monkeypox) outbreak, particularly among high-risk groups. Here, we evaluated the prevalence of mpox vaccine acceptance and uptake globally.
Methods: We searched multiple databases for peer-reviewed studies published in English from May 2022 to 25th November 2023 that evaluated mpox vaccine acceptance and/or uptake.
Anxiety, stress, and quality of life in patients with tuberculosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Psychiatry, AIIMS, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Anxiety symptoms when coexisting with tuberculosis (TB), can have deleterious effects on treatment continuation that could contribute to the development of treatment resistance in TB. It is essential to understand the prevalence of anxiety in TB to develop clinical recommendations for its management. The primary objective of our review was to estimate the pooled prevalence of anxiety in TB patients along with the estimation of stress and quality of life in such patients.

Estimates of the global burden of Congenital Rubella Syndrome, 1996-2019.
Int J Infect Dis

Article Synopsis
- Many countries started using rubella-containing vaccination (RCV) after 2011 due to changes in WHO recommendations, and the study evaluated the effects of this implementation.
- The study used mathematical modeling to assess the incidence of Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) from 1996 to 2019 based on vaccination data, showing significant declines in CRS births, especially in areas where RCV was introduced.
- The findings suggest that continuing to introduce and maintain high coverage of RCV in more countries could lead to further decreases in CRS incidence globally.
