Public climatic data are rapidly growing in volume and complexity at global and national scales but these data remain underutilized for vulnerability assessment. We aim to explore how flood records from Dartmouth Flood Observatory, a global flood monitoring database, can be linked with a national disaster database maintained by the Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management, to aid local vulnerability assessment in Indonesia. We focused on physical damage to structures and agricultural crops from flooding and examined spatiotemporal patterns of a vulnerability metric derived from principal component analysis. We identified the most vulnerable areas based on emerging hot spot analysis and detected sporadic hotspots (i.e. on again then off again) of flooding in Jakarta and West Java. Using our derived metric, we identified oscillating cold spots (i.e. a cold spot that was previously a hot spot) of vulnerability in Banten, Jakarta, West Java, and Central Java. The detection of nonhomogeneous spatiotemporal trends in flooding and vulnerability demonstrate potential usability of public climate data and help to outline directions for novel research.

Effect of COVID-19 pandemic on well child follow-up visits and vaccination: A Single unit experience from Turkey.
Pak J Med Sci
January 2025
Feyza Koc, MD Associate Professor, Division of Social Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics, Ege University Children's Hospital, Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Ege University, Bornova, Izmir, Turkey.
Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on frequency of well-child follow-up visits and immunization rate in Turkish tertiary reference hospital's Well-Child Care Outpatient Clinic.
Methods: Children aged one month to 18 years who presented to the Well Child Care Outpatient Clinic of a tertiary referral hospital in Turkey for child health follow-up and immunisation were included in the study. Children with chronic diseases or children who needed to be immunised with a different scheme due to their special conditions were not included.
Navigating trauma: Venezuelan women's and adolescent's experiences before and after migration amidst the humanitarian crisis.

Migrant and refugee women and adolescents are extremely vulnerable in humanitarian crisis and armed conflict contexts. The Venezuelan crisis has unleashed the largest exodus of migrants/refugees in recent Latin American history, most of whom have relocated to Colombia. There is a scarcity of research addressing the how adverse and traumatic experiences related to violence presents mental health amidst the Venezuelan-Colombian humanitarian crisis context and how it affects communities in relocation communities.

J Int Soc Prev Community Dent
December 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Federal University of Bahia, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
Aims: This study aimed to explore the association between frailty and pre-frailty in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWHIV), focusing on their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 184 PLWHIV. Frailty status was assessed using Fried's frailty criteria, categorizing participants as robust, pre-frail, or frail.
Peripheral DNA Methylation of Cortisol- and Serotonin-Related Genes Predicts Hippocampal Volume in a Pediatric Population.
Biol Psychiatry Glob Open Sci
March 2025
Department of Psychology, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona.
Background: Hippocampal volume increases throughout early development and is an important indicator of cognitive abilities and mental health. However, hippocampal development is highly vulnerable to exposures during development, as seen by smaller hippocampal volume and differential epigenetic programming in genes implicated in mental health. However, few studies have investigated hippocampal volume in relation to the peripheral epigenome across development, and even less is known about potential genetic moderators.

Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.
Aim: Unhealthy alcohol use is often correlated with experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV). We investigated how different types of IPV (sexual, physical, emotional, and financial) were associated with unhealthy alcohol use among women engaged in sex work in Mombasa, Kenya.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 283 HIV-negative women who engaged in sex work recruited from an ongoing cohort study.
