Purpose of review: As the world grapples with the health systems' challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing the needs of the already vulnerable adolescents and young people is vital. This narrative synthesis is aimed to highlight the current gender, cultural, and socioeconomic dynamics fueling inequalities to accessing sexual, reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services among adolescents and young people in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Recent findings: The COVID-19 pandemic has in most countries exacerbated already existing inequalities due to economic, gender, cultural, and legal aspects. Strategies implemented by most governments to mitigate the spread of the virus have also had a negative impact on the access to SRHR services, some of which are long term. Few published studies have assessed the extent to which the pandemic has fueled each of these paradigms regarding access to SRHR, especially among adolescents and young people (AYP). Additionally, there is paucity in data on the same in most countries, as the systems to track such effects were not available at the inception of the pandemic.

Summary: Despite efforts to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on this population, deficits remain and a multi-stakeholder approach is needed to achieve the intended goals, especially where cultural and gender values are deeply rooted. Further research is needed to quantify how the pandemic has fueled economic, gender, and cultural aspects to influence access to SRHR services among AYP especially in LMIC.

审查目的:在全球应对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间卫生系统面临的挑战之际,满足本已脆弱的青少年和年轻人的需求至关重要。这种叙述综合的目的是突出当前的性别、文化和社会经济动态,加剧了中低收入国家青少年和年轻人在获得性健康、生殖健康和权利服务方面的不平等。最新发现:COVID-19大流行在大多数国家加剧了由于经济、性别、文化和法律方面已经存在的不平等现象。大多数政府为减轻病毒传播而实施的战略也对获得性健康和生殖资源服务产生了负面影响,其中一些服务是长期的。很少有已发表的研究评估了大流行病在多大程度上推动了这些关于获得性健康和生殖健康服务的范例,特别是在青少年和年轻人中。此外,大多数国家缺乏这方面的数据,因为在大流行开始时没有跟踪这种影响的系统。摘要:尽管努力减轻这一大流行病对这一人群的影响,但赤字仍然存在,需要多方利益攸关方的做法来实现预期目标,特别是在文化和性别价值观根深蒂固的地方。需要进一步的研究来量化疫情如何在经济、性别和文化方面对青少年,特别是低收入和中等收入国家青少年获得性健康和生殖资源服务产生影响。

Purpose of review: Culicoides biting midges transmit several pathogens of veterinary importance in North America, but the vector status of many midge species is unresolved. Additionally, the available evidence of vector competence in these species is scattered and variable. The purpose of this review is to summarize current knowledge on confirmed and putative North American Culicoides arbovirus vectors.

Recent findings: While the vector status of Culicoides sonorensis (EHDV, BTV, VSV) and Culicoides insignis (BTV) are well established, several other potential vector species have been recently identified. Frequently, these species are implicated based primarily on host-feeding, abundance, and/or detection of arboviruses from field-collected insects, and often lack laboratory infection and transmission data necessary to fully confirm their vector status. Recent genetic studies have also indicated that some wide-ranging species likely represent several cryptic species, further complicating our understanding of their vector status.

Summary: In most cases, laboratory evidence needed to fully understand the vector status of the putative Culicoides vectors is absent; however, it appears that several species are likely contributing to the transmission of arboviruses in North America.

综述目的:库蠓在北美传播几种重要的兽医病原体,但许多蠓种的媒介地位尚未确定。此外,这些物种的病媒能力的现有证据是分散和可变的。本综述的目的是总结目前已证实的和推测的北美库蠓虫媒病毒载体的知识。最新发现:虽然索纳库蚊(EHDV、BTV、VSV)和印库蚊(BTV)的媒介地位已经确立,但最近还发现了其他几种潜在的媒介物种。通常,这些物种主要基于宿主摄食、丰度和/或从野外采集的昆虫中检测到虫媒病毒,并且往往缺乏充分确认其媒介地位所需的实验室感染和传播数据。最近的遗传研究也表明,一些广泛分布的物种可能代表了几种隐种,这进一步使我们对其载体状态的理解复杂化。摘要:在大多数情况下,缺乏充分了解假定库蠓病媒媒介状况所需的实验室证据;然而,似乎有几个物种可能促成了虫媒病毒在北美的传播。

Purpose of review: The pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in millions of confirmed cases and likely more than six million deaths globally Worldometer (2022). We sought to understand secondary mental effects in adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) on the African continent caused by lockdowns, school closures, and other restriction measures for infection control. We reviewed the broader literature and conducted 86 retrospective chart reviews of mental health disorders of ALHIV and interventions utilized at a pediatric clinic in Eswatini.

Recent findings: ALHIVs are disproportionately affected by mental health disorders. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated adverse mental health outcomes of adolescents on the African continent, especially for ALHIV. There have been many calls for researchers, clinicians, and governments to prioritize mental health in adolescents going forward.

Summary: In pediatric clinics in Eswatini, Malawi, and Uganda, there were psychosocial measures in place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic for ALHIV. After looking closely at a pediatric clinic in Eswatini, we found that many interventions were paused and new psychosocial interventions compatible with social distancing were instead utilized by clinicians. Even so, after multidisciplinary management comprising of interventions such as psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, referral to psychologists/psychiatrists, and enrollment in peer support groups, the PHQ-9 depressions scores of ALHIV during the COVID-19 significantly improved. We found that there is a need for age-specific standardized tools to measure depression in ALHIV. Furthermore, more research is needed on the effectiveness and scope of psychosocial interventions for ALHIV post-COVID-19 throughout Eswatini and the African continent.

审查目的:由冠状病毒病(COVID-19)引起的大流行已在全球造成数百万确诊病例,并可能导致600多万人死亡。我们试图了解封锁、学校关闭和其他限制感染控制措施对非洲大陆感染艾滋病毒(ALHIV)的青少年造成的继发性精神影响。我们回顾了更广泛的文献,并对Eswatini儿科诊所使用的ALHIV精神健康障碍和干预措施进行了86次回顾性图表回顾。最近的发现:精神健康障碍对艾滋病毒感染者的影响不成比例。2019冠状病毒病大流行加剧了非洲大陆青少年的不良心理健康后果,特别是艾滋病毒感染者。许多人呼吁研究人员、临床医生和政府优先考虑青少年的心理健康问题。总结:在斯瓦蒂尼、马拉维和乌干达的儿科诊所,在2019冠状病毒病大流行之前就有针对ALHIV的心理社会措施。在仔细观察了斯瓦蒂尼的一家儿科诊所后,我们发现许多干预措施被暂停,临床医生转而采用了与社交距离相适应的新的心理社会干预措施。即便如此,经过多学科管理,包括心理治疗、药物治疗、转诊给心理学家/精神科医生以及加入同伴支持小组等干预措施,COVID-19期间ALHIV患者的PHQ-9抑郁评分显着改善。我们发现需要针对特定年龄的标准化工具来衡量ALHIV患者的抑郁程度。此外,需要对整个斯瓦蒂尼和非洲大陆covid -19后艾滋病毒感染者的社会心理干预措施的有效性和范围进行更多研究。

Purpose of review: The COVID-19 pandemic, since 2020, has affected health care services and access globally. Although the entire impact of COVID-19 pandemic on existing global public health is yet to be fully seen, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on global childhood immunization programs is of particular importance.

Recent findings: Disruptions to service delivery due to lockdowns, challenges in vaccination programs, vaccine misinformation and hesitancy, and political and social economic inequalities all posed a threat to existing childhood immunization programs. These potential threats were especially critical in LMIC where childhood immunization programs tend to experience suboptimal implementation.

Summary: This review provides an overview of childhood immunizations and discusses past pandemics particularly in LMIC, factors contributing to disparities in childhood immunizations, and reviews potential lessons to be learned from past pandemics. Vaccine hesitancy, social determinants of health, and best practices to help lessen the pandemic's influence are also further elaborated. To address current challenges that hindered the progress made in prevention of childhood illnesses through vaccination campaigns and increased vaccine availability, lessons learned through best practices explored from past pandemics must be examined to mitigate impact of COVID-19 on childhood immunization and in turn conserve health and improve economic well-being of children especially in LMIC.

审查目的:自2020年以来,COVID-19大流行影响了全球的卫生保健服务和可及性。虽然COVID-19大流行对现有全球公共卫生的整体影响尚未充分显现,但COVID-19大流行对全球儿童免疫规划的影响尤为重要。最近的发现:由于封锁导致的服务中断、疫苗接种规划面临的挑战、疫苗的错误信息和犹豫,以及政治和社会经济不平等,都对现有的儿童免疫规划构成威胁。这些潜在的威胁在低收入和中等收入国家尤其严重,因为这些国家的儿童免疫规划往往执行得不够理想。摘要:本综述概述了儿童免疫接种情况,讨论了过去的大流行,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家,造成儿童免疫接种差异的因素,并审查了从过去的大流行中可能吸取的教训。还进一步阐述了疫苗犹豫、健康的社会决定因素以及有助于减轻大流行影响的最佳做法。为应对当前阻碍通过疫苗接种运动和增加疫苗供应在预防儿童疾病方面取得进展的挑战,必须研究从以往大流行中探索的最佳做法中吸取的经验教训,以减轻COVID-19对儿童免疫接种的影响,从而保护儿童健康并改善儿童的经济福祉,特别是中低收入国家的儿童。

Purpose of review: This review seeks to identify factors contributing to the changing epidemiology of Chagas disease in the United States of America (US). By showcasing screening programs for Chagas disease that currently exist in endemic and non-endemic settings, we make recommendations for expanding access to Chagas disease diagnosis and care in the US.

Recent findings: Several factors including but not limited to increasing migration, climate change, rapid population growth, growing urbanization, changing transportation patterns, and rising poverty are thought to contribute to changes in the epidemiology of Chagas disease in the US. Outlined are some examples of successful screening programs for Chagas disease in other countries as well as in some areas of the US, notably those which focus on screening high-risk populations and are linked to affordable and effective treatment options.

Summary: Given concerns that Chagas disease prevalence and even risk of transmission may be increasing in the US, there is a need for improving detection and treatment of the disease. There are many successful screening programs in place that can be replicated and/or expanded upon in the US. Specifically, we propose integrating Chagas disease into relevant clinical guidelines, particularly in cardiology and obstetrics/gynecology, and using advocacy as a tool to raise awareness of Chagas disease.

审查目的:本审查旨在确定导致美利坚合众国(美国)恰加斯病流行病学变化的因素。通过展示目前在地方病和非地方病环境中存在的查加斯病筛查方案,我们提出了在美国扩大查加斯病诊断和护理的建议。最近的发现:有几个因素,包括但不限于移民增加、气候变化、人口快速增长、城市化进程加快、交通模式改变和贫困加剧,被认为是导致美国恰加斯病流行病学变化的原因。本文概述了在其他国家和美国一些地区成功筛查恰加斯病方案的一些例子,特别是那些侧重于筛查高风险人群并与负担得起的有效治疗方案相联系的方案。摘要:考虑到美国对恰加斯病患病率甚至传播风险可能增加的担忧,有必要改进对该病的检测和治疗。有许多成功的筛查项目可以在美国复制和/或推广。具体而言,我们建议将恰加斯病纳入相关临床指南,特别是心脏病学和产科/妇科指南,并利用宣传作为提高对恰加斯病认识的工具。

Purpose of review: Travel medicine practitioners often are confronted with returning travelers with dermatologic disorders that could be of infectious causes or inflammatory or allergic. Some dermatologic processes are the result of exposure to insects or acquired due to environmental exposures. There is a broad range of dermatosis of infectious and non-infectious etiologies that clinicians need to consider in the differential diagnosis of dermatosis in travelers.

Recent findings: With increasing international travel to tropical destinations, many individuals may be exposed to rickettsia (i.e., African tick bite fever, scrub typhus, or Mediterranean spotted fever), parasitic infections (i.e., cutaneous larva migrans, cutaneous leishmaniasis, African trypanosomiasis, or American trypanosomiasis), viral infections (i.e., measles or Zika virus infection), bacterial (i.e., Buruli ulcer) or ectoparasites (scabies or tungiasis), and myiasis. Cutaneous lesions provide clinical clues to the diagnosis of specific exposures during travel among returned travelers.

Summary: Dermatologic disorders represent the third most common health problem in returned travelers, after gastrointestinal and respiratory illness. Many of these conditions may pose a risk of severe complications if there is any delay in diagnosis. Therefore, clinicians caring for travelers need to become familiar with the most frequent infectious and non-infectious skin disorders in travelers.

回顾的目的:旅行医学从业者经常面对有皮肤疾病的旅行者,可能是感染性原因或炎症或过敏。有些皮肤病是由于接触昆虫或由于环境暴露而获得的。有一个广泛的传染性和非传染性皮肤病的病因,临床医生需要考虑在旅行者皮肤病的鉴别诊断。最近的发现:随着前往热带目的地的国际旅行越来越多,许多人可能接触到立克次体(即非洲蜱叮咬热、恙虫病或地中海斑疹热)、寄生虫感染(即皮肤幼虫迁移、皮肤利什曼病、非洲锥虫病或美洲锥虫病)、病毒感染(即麻疹或寨卡病毒感染)、细菌(即布鲁里溃疡)或外寄生虫(即疥疮或tungiasis)以及蝇蛆病。皮肤病变为归国旅行者旅行中特定暴露的诊断提供临床线索。总结:皮肤疾病是返国旅行者中第三大最常见的健康问题,仅次于胃肠道和呼吸道疾病。如果诊断有任何延误,其中许多情况可能会造成严重并发症的风险。因此,照顾旅行者的临床医生需要熟悉旅行者中最常见的传染性和非传染性皮肤病。
