Published: July 2024

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Over the past several decades, China has experienced substantial improvements in life expectancy (LE), signifying major advancements in public health outcomes.

What Is Added By This Report?: This study offers an in-depth analysis of the contributions made by various diseases and age demographics to the growth of LE in China over the past 35 years, highlighting crucial factors that influence population health.

What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?: The results highlight the need for interventions tailored to various disease types and age groups in order to enhance LE and improve public health outcomes. Public health strategies should prioritize disease prevention, control initiatives, and enhancements in healthcare services that are specifically designed to meet the needs of distinct population demographics.

Malaria is a major public healthcare concern worldwide, representing a leading cause of death in specific regions. The gold standard for diagnosis is microscopic analysis, but this requires a laboratory setting, trained staff, and infrastructure and is therefore typically slow and dependent on the experience of the technician. This study introduces, for the first time, a biomimetic sensing platform for the direct detection of the disease.

The autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is presented with many clinical symptoms. The transcription factor fork head box protein 3 (Foxp3) is expressed on regulatory T (T-reg) cells and essential for its development and function. Functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Foxp3-3279 (rs3761548 C/A) gene influence SLE pathogenesis.

ECG Patterns of Occlusion Myocardial Infarction: A Narrative Review.

The traditional management of acute coronary syndrome has relied on the identification of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) as a proxy of acute coronary occlusion. This conflation of STEMI with acute coronary occlusion has historically overshadowed non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), despite evidence suggesting 25% to 34% of NSTEMI cases may also include acute coronary occlusion. Current limitations in the STEMI/NSTEMI binary framework underscore the need for a revised approach to chest pain and acute coronary syndrome management.
