Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a major public health issue in Hubei Province; however, research on the direct and indirect effects of factors affecting HFMD is limited. This study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) to investigate the various impacts and spatial variations in the factors influencing the HFMD epidemic in Hubei Province from 2016 to 2018. The results indicated that (1) with respect to the direct effects, the number of primary school students had the greatest positive direct effect on the number of HFMD cases, with a coefficient of 0.

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is an infectious disease that often affects children under 5 years of age. Over the past 20 years, enterovirus 71 (EV71) has become a major concern among children, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, there are no data showing the seroprevalence of HMFDs in Indonesia.

Neuropathic pain poses a significant clinical challenge, largely due to the incomplete understanding of its molecular mechanisms, particularly the role of mitochondrial dysfunction. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that pyroptosis and inflammatory responses induced by spared nerve injury (SNI) in the spinal dorsal horn play a critical role in the initiation and persistence of neuropathic pain. Among the factors involved, TSPO (translocator protein) emerged as a key regulator.

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is a major pathogen responsible for hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in infants and children. EV-A71 infection represents an epidemic in the Asia-Pacific region, and can cause serious central nervous system (CNS) infections in immunocompromised patients that can result in paralysis, disability, or death. There have been few reports in the literature concerning EV-A71 CNS infections after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in adult patients.

The aim of the research was to develop the design of a striking dummy and the theoretical foundations of martial arts strikes and to test its effectiveness in a pedagogical experiment. This paper presents the design of a striking dummy and the foundational theories behind martial arts strikes. We used modern microelectronics, including a diverse range of sensors, for executing a multitude of electromechanical measurements.
