Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how green space (GS) is distributed unequally across urban neighborhoods in the UK, particularly looking at its relationship with preventable deaths in areas with varying levels of deprivation.
  • Data from thousands of neighborhoods across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland was analyzed to determine the correlation between the amount of grassland and woodland and rates of preventable deaths, using various statistical methods.
  • Findings revealed that more deprived urban areas had significantly less grassland, and increases in grassland area were linked to substantial reductions in preventable deaths, highlighting the importance of green space investment as a public health strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study questions the value of preoperative abdominopelvic CT scans (CTAP) in patients with gunshot wounds to the abdomen, as current guidelines recommend them but their practical usefulness is being debated.
  • - Out of 149 patients analyzed, 72.5% showed clear signs for immediate surgical intervention (laparotomy), but CTAP findings only matched actual injury patterns in 57% of cases, missing significant injuries in 36.2% of patients.
  • - The results suggest that while CTAP might clarify unclear injury paths, it rarely changes management strategies for patients needing surgery and can lead to unnecessary operations in some cases.

Nowadays, epidemiological modeling is applied to a wide range of diseases, communicable and non-communicable, namely AIDS, Ebola, influenza, Dengue, Malaria, Zika. More recently, in the context of the last pandemic declared by the World Health Organization (WHO), several studies applied these models to SARS-CoV-2. Despite the increasing number of researches using spatial analysis, some constraints persist that prevent more complex modeling such as capturing local epidemiological dynamics or capturing the real patterns and dynamics.
