The considerable advances achieved in the field of echocardiography have made this investigation an essential diagnostic tool. Under the auspices of the French Society of Cardiology, the Working group on Echocardiography publishes its practical recommendations for optimising the training of echocardiographers (theoretical instruction and practical courses) and for performing echocardiography (understanding the clinical problem, referral to previous examinations, necessary recordings and measurements, and appropriate equipment). In the future, these recommendations should be updated to take into account continuing technical improvements and changes in methods of studying cardiac disease by echocardiography.

Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of numerous pathogens, including Plasmodium parasites, arboviruses and filarial worms. They pose a significant risk to public health with over 200 million cases of malaria per annum and approximately 4 billion people at risk of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Mosquito populations are geographically expanding into temperate regions and their distribution is predicted to continue increasing.

Rural and remote health care: the case for spatial justice.

Rural Remote Health

January 2025

School of Health Sciences, Western Sydney University, Campbelltown, NSW 2560, Australia.

Almost universally, people living in rural and remote places die younger, poorer, and sicker than urban-dwelling citizens of the same country. Despite clear need, health services are commonly less available, and more costly and challenging to access, for rural and remote people. Rural geography is commonly cited as a reason for these disparities, that is, rural people are said to live in places too distant, too underpopulated, and too difficult to access.
