Risks of parasitic helminth disease outbreaks and influence of physico-chemical factors in flood prone areas of Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Parasite Epidemiol Control
February 2025
Centre for Research on Health and Priority Pathologies, Institute of Medical Research and Medicinal Plants Studies, PO box 13033 Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Background: Urbanization coupled with poverty has promoted the exploitation of risk zones like flood-prone areas in the city of Yaoundé. The overcrowding and poor hygiene observed in these areas are responsible for the unsmiling variations in environmental cleanliness, exploitation of river water for domestic purposes thus putting them at risk for parasitic disease transmissions. This study was conducted in order to assess the risks of human helminthiases outbreaks in relation to water physico-chemical factors in the city of Yaoundé.

Background/objectives: The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and coping strategies used by adolescents with disabilities, on the one hand to understand how emotional skills influence stress management and everyday challenges and, on the other hand, considering that it could help specialists to develop interventions and educational programs that support the improvement of emotional skills and coping strategies among adolescents with disabilities.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 Romanian adolescents with neuromotor disabilities aged 13 to 18 years (M = 15.2) divided into three groups according to the stages of adolescence: Group 1 (13 years-46 respondents), Group 2 (14 to 17 years-26 respondents), and Group 3 (18 years-28 respondents).
Infectious Agents and Cancer journal has recently launched a new collection of papers about "Point-of-Care (POC) for HPV-related genital cancers" putting together some interesting works on the accuracy of HPV tests for screening. This editorial initiative gave us the opportunity to reflect on the relations between accuracy measures, prevalence and characteristics of the tested population in the case of HPV-based screening. In screening test evaluation, we look at the clinical accuracy of the test as an intrinsic characteristic of the assay, which interacts with the characteristics of the population, the result being the screening performance.

Article Synopsis
- The study developed a mathematical model to evaluate total risk in imaging procedures by considering both radiation and clinical risks, addressing a gap in previous research.
- The findings indicate that clinical risk is significantly greater than radiation risk, with a minimum 400% excess across all demographics analyzed.
- The results suggest that optimizing radiation doses in CT exams may require increasing doses in many cases, particularly benefiting certain populations like Asians, while emphasizing the potential harms of excess radiation reduction.
