Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar, Jharkhand, India.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate mass drug administration (MDA) coverage for lymphatic filariasis (LF) in selected endemic districts of Jharkhand, India, and to identify household-level determinants of drug consumption.
Methods: A cross-sectional coverage evaluation survey was conducted in the Deoghar, Giridih and Godda districts of Jharkhand in 2023 within 6 wk of the completion of the MDA campaign. The survey included 9039 individuals from 1680 households across 56 randomly selected clusters (three urban, eight tribal and 45 rural).

EClinicalMedicine
September 2024
Department of Clinical Science and Education, Södersjukhuset, Karolinska Institutet, Sjukhusbacken 10, 118 83, Stockholm, Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be influenced by genetic factors and may stem from reduced lung growth during childhood, leading to lower lung function throughout life.
- A polygenic risk score (PRS) was calculated using data from a large genome-wide association study and tested for its correlation with lung function in individuals aged 4-50 from multiple research cohorts.
- Results indicated that higher PRS scores were associated with significantly lower lung function, measured by key indicators, starting from childhood and continuing into adulthood, regardless of smoking, sex, or asthma diagnosis.

University of Colorado, Colorado School of Public Health, Centers for American Indian and Alaska Native Health, Aurora, CO, USA.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially impacted American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Rates of infection, hospitalization, and mortality have been severe relative to non-Hispanic whites. While AI/AN communities have had some of the highest levels of COVID-19 vaccination, utilization rates remain suboptimal and there is a need to identify facilitators and barriers to testing and vaccination.
