Endemic circulation of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Africa and Asia poses a continuous risk to countries in Europe, North America, and Oceania which are free from the disease. Introductions of the disease into a free region have dramatic economic impacts, especially if they are not detected at an early stage and controlled rapidly. However, farmers and veterinarians have an obvious disincentive to report clinical signs that are consistent with FMD, due to the severe consequences of raising an official suspicion, such as farm-level quarantine. One way that the risk of late detection can be mitigated is offering non-discriminatory exclusion testing schemes for differential diagnostics, wherein veterinarians can submit samples without the involvement of the competent authority and without sanctions or costs for the farmer. This review considers the benefits and limitations of this approach to improve the early detection of FMD in free countries and gives an overview of the FMD testing schemes currently in use in selected countries in Europe and the Americas as well as in Australia.

The situation of people with different sexual orientations and gender identities varies worldwide depending on the legal and social situation despite a formal depathologization in the medical classification systems DSM 1973 and ICD 1991. The spectrum ranges from equality to discrimination and exclusion to social ostracism, sometimes combined with legal persecution, in some countries even with the threat of a death penalty. On the basis of a historical overview of the medical-social discourse, it will be shown which scientific and societal advances make depathologization possible, although even in today's times a consistent and sustainable effect of this depathologization appears to be increasingly difficult in some countries, and in some cases even a societal re-pathologization is taking place.

This reveals that the COVID-19 vaccine prioritization policies of several countries have discriminated against older people. Conversely, the exclusion of older people from COVID-19 vaccine testing is shown to be non-discriminatory, as is some degree of age prioritization for limited acute COVID-19 care.
