Background: Dementia onset and progression may be related to the social determinants of health (SDH), but information regarding those is scarce. Currently, we still lack knowledge about the role of structural determinants of health in dementia and their relationship to recognition spheres (care, social valuation, needs, and rights). This has been reflected in health policies that do not fulfill the expectations of the patients, caregivers, and health professionals.

Memory and Aging Center, UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Background: Predicting Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) using polygenic risk scores (PRS) for late-onset forms holds promise, but its accuracy might be influenced by social determinants of health (SDOH). This study explores how considering SDOH alongside genes can improve prediction, focusing on potential differences for each disease.
Methods: Employing logistic regression in 677 individuals (287 AD, 102 FTD, and 288 controls) aged 40-80 from the ReDLat study across six Latin American countries, we investigated the potential for SDOH to modify the association between PRS and susceptibility to AD and FTD.

Minnesota Department of Health, Zoonotic Diseases Unit, St. Paul, MN, USA.
Objectives: Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) poses an occupational risk for poultry workers, responders, and others in contact with infected birds. The objective of this analysis was to describe HPAI surveillance methods and outcomes, and highlight the challenges, successes, and lessons learned during the Minnesota Department of Health's (MDH's) public health response to HPAI outbreaks in Minnesota poultry flocks in the years 2015 and 2022-2023.
Methods: During both outbreaks, MDH staff attempted to contact all potentially exposed people and conduct a standardized interview.
Leg Ulcer and Venous Symptoms Related to Lower Extremity Arteriovenous Access for Hemodialysis: A Retrospective Review with Emphasis on Wound Complications.
Int J Low Extrem Wounds
January 2025
Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Lower extremity arteriovenous (AV) access serves as a crucial alternative for hemodialysis when upper extremity options are no longer viable. While there are numerous reports on functional patency, limited information exists regarding complications related to venous insufficiency and postoperative quality of life. This study aims to assess the actual incidence of such complications and provide evidence-based insights for clinical decision-making.

In addition, migrants in Spain face barriers when accessing healthcare services.
