to evaluate the medical and economic efficiency of prenatal diagnostics of fetal chromosomal abnormalities (CA) in pregnant women in Moscow using a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) as a second-line model. A comparative analysis of the medical and economic efficiency of standard prenatal screening and prenatal screening with NIPT in groups of pregnant women, registered in Moscow, with high and medium fetal CA risk was carried out. Analysis was based on the number of children born with CA and the costs of medical care (direct costs) and social payments (indirect costs), calculated for both scenarios. Following standard prenatal screening 111 children with CA would be born, following prenatal screening with NIPT - only 26. Including NIPT in prenatal diagnostics increases direct costs by 299.97 million rubles and reduces annual indirect costs from 61.19 to 28.95 million rubles. Starting from the 13th year of using NIPT the estimated effect of reducing indirect costs would exceed direct costs. NIPT in prenatal diagnostics can increase the detection of fetal CA and reduce indirect costs. Assessing the indirect costs in economic efficiency enhances the accuracy of the estimate.

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is affected by the high direct and indirect costs of snakebite envenomation. With >30% of global mortality, different economic barriers still exist, and effective strategies must be employed to avert the burden and promote quality of life. With the WHO target of reducing the number of snakebites by one-half by 2030, different aspects concerning snakebite envenomation economics must be evaluated, and potential strategies must be developed.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the ongoing challenges faced by ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in Japan despite existing treatments, focusing on their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and productivity losses.
- About 83.6% of participants were on non-biologic treatments, with a significant portion reporting persistent symptoms and a notable percentage experiencing anxiety and depression, which negatively impacted their work productivity by an average of 29.3%.
- The results emphasize the need for new interventions to improve treatment outcomes as many patients still experience high disease burden and indirect costs.

Department of Epidemiology, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, Indiana University, Indianapolis, USA.
The aim of this narrative review is to synthesize and discuss existing evidence on the epidemiological aspects of dental pain, addressing its prevalence, risk factors, population distribution, impact on the quality of life, and implications for public health. Dental pain is a common condition that involves complex mechanisms of pain transmission and perception. Dental pain can be due to various causes, such as caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, dental trauma, and soft tissue conditions (e.

Background: It is known that fractures of the pelvic ring and acetabulum in work-related accidents are associated with long periods of incapacity to work, a high rate of reduction in earning capacity (MdE) and high costs for pension/severance pay.
Objective: Investigation of changes in pension claims and costs from 2013 to 2019 after isolated fractures of the pelvic ring and acetabulum in work-related accidents in Germany.
Material And Methods: For all patients from the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) registry with isolated fractures of the pelvic ring or acetabulum in work-related accidents, linear trend analyses were carried out among others for the proportion of MdE ≥20%, the proportion of cases receiving pension/severance pay and total costs for pension/severance pay from 2013 to 2019.
Social and economic impacts of non-communicable diseases by gender and its correlates: a literature review.

Background: Tackling social impacts derived from gender disparities is a pathway to universal health coverage (UHC). Gender intersects with other factors behind social and health inequalities, exacerbates them and influences health systems' performance. However, there is scarcity of gender-based studies that assess the social and economic impacts of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
