Introduction For five decades there have been continuous controversies over the use of Agent Orange and other tactical herbicides sprayed for defoliation and crop destruction purposes during the Vietnam-American War (Vietnam War) from 1961 1971. Indeed, few occupational health issues have sustained such international attention as have the use of herbicides in Southeast Asia. The opening and establishment of normal relations in 1995 between the United States and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam provided an opportunity for scientists, public health experts, and the media to visit Southern Vietnam, and attempt to assess the long-term impact of the defoliation program. Since that time, there have been hundreds of negative and sensational stories circulated, hundreds of articles published, and an extensive propaganda campaign by the government of Vietnam and others. The search for facts and truths regarding public health in Vietnam as related to the use of Agent Orange has been lost among the continuous media coverage. This article attempts to analyze the public health threat that was posed by the spraying of Agent Orange over 50 years ago. Background To conduct an assessment of the potential public health threat that Agent Orange and its associated dioxin contaminant may have caused after the Vietnam War required documentation on the military herbicides that were used in the Vietnam War; how exposure occurred and was measured; the persistence of the dioxin contaminant; toxicology of the herbicides and dioxin contaminant; validity of the cause of diseases reported; and the politics associated with Agent Orange.

Introduction: Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children world-wide with the highest incidence in the economically transitioning countries like Eritrea. It kills more children than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined. Therefore, identifying the real and actual contributing factors of acute diarrhea in these population is of a great need. Objective: To determine the contributing factors associated with acute gastroenteritis among children less than five years in Orotta Pediatric National Referral Hospitalfrom 1st May to 30th June 2016. Methodology: A hospital‐based qualitative retrospective case–control study was done with N= 160, 80 cases and 80 controls of children who were admitted in the outpatient department of OPNRH. The data was gathered from the children health records and by interviewing the care givers of the children using objectively structured questionnaire. Collected data was entered in SPSS version 20 and analysis was performed with appropriate statistical tools like Chi‐square test and odds ratio to determine the significant associations. Results: A total of N= 160 children, 80 cases and 80 controls were enrolled in the study. Significant associations were found with child age, maternal age, washing breast before feeding the child, public latrine utilization, hand washing practice of mothers, storage of cooked food, and buying food from street vendors. Conclusion and recommendation: From this study we identified the contributing factors of acute diarrhea to be private or public latrine ownership, hand washing practices of mothers, storage of cooked foodand buying food from street vendors.Therefore,this study recommends that more emphasis should be given on sanitation practices (hand washing, food storage, and usage of latrines) and safety of purchased food from street vendors should be reassured.

Introduction In Japan, the world’s most super-aged country, 30% of the population will be 65 years old or older by 2025 [1]. The government program ‘Promoting the Dynamic Engagement of All Citizens’ calls on the elderly not to retire but to remain active [2], thus requesting them to play a continued active role in society and increasing interactions among generations. According to a meta-analysis by North and Fiske [3], East Asians take a more negative attitude towards the elderly than Westerners, South Asians, or Southeast Asians. A study of ageism compared attitudes towards the elderly in the UK and Taiwan [4]. The Taiwanese showed an ambivalent attitude towards the elderly: their admiration, envy, contempt, and active harm scores were greater than those of the UK residents. Vauclair et al. suggested that a possible reason for this ambiguity is the result of mixed feelings: cultural deference towards the elderly combined with negative views of older generations due to their refusal to transfer power or due to the burden of pension expenses [4]. Japan is in a similar state. Studies have suggested that negative attitudes towards the elderly that lead to ageism are caused by anxiety about ageing [5-7]. However, there have been few studies investigating anxiety about ageing in Japan. Lasher et al. called anxiety about ageing ‘a possible mediating factor in determining attitudes and behavior toward the elderly, or as a factor in adjustment to aging as an adult developmental issue’ [8]. They developed the Anxiety about Aging Scale (AAS), a multidimensional instrument to assess anxiety about ageing [8]. They Abstract

Introduction There is strong evidence that social isolation is a risk factor for poor mental and physical health [1], and is associated with increased mortality [2,3]. The most commonly studied outcomes of social isolation or loneliness are depression and cardiovascular health [1]. The risks of social isolation depend not only on who you are, but also on where you live [4], especially in urban areas, where there tends to be more elderly people with a higher degree of social isolation. Therefore, care problems arising from social isolation have emerged as a major concern for health policy. In Japan, the number of elderly people living alone has grown. In 2015, the proportion among those aged ≥65 years was 13.3% in males, and 21.1% in females. The proportion of elderly people living alone increased from 9.6% in 2000 to 15.5% in 2015. Most elderly living alone are likely to be socially isolated and to die alone if unable to receive long-term care insurance (LTCI) services when needing care. Demand for the LTCI service exceeds supply in urban areas. Staff shortage in the care sector has been found to be related to both the shortage of human resources and high land prices [5]. Moreover, excess demand for labor in the care sector depends on delayed adjustment of nursing care costs set by the Japanese government [6]. Thus, overcoming supply constraints in the care sector is considered difficult. Social isolation exacerbates the health issues of elderly persons who live alone, resulting in longer waiting times for LTCI services in Japan.1 Previous studies have found care preferences relating to individual healthcare or nursing care needs. Residents of a country with a strong national healthcare infrastructure are less likely to prefer family-based care [7]. In a previous study, nursing home care was most preferred for dementia care [8]. Another study pointed out that old, frail, and reclusive people who live alone may require home care [4].

Due to the highest life expectancy at birth among OECD member countries, the Japanese elderly face the risk of long-term care (LTC) needs. Japan and Germany have implemented public long-term care insurances, and both countries hoped that improving care in the community would lower nursing home usage and spending. After reviewing the LTC recipient rate of the elderly in Japan and Germany from international perspectives, the LTC recipient rate and expenditure among the Japanese elderly were estimated for the period of 2020-2070, using the results of the projection of the elderly by dependency level obtained from the INAHSIM (Integrated Analytical Model for Household Simulation) 2018 simulation. Long-term care expenditure is quite closely related to ageing and it is important to reduce the LTC recipient rate through prevention and putting the right incentives in the system.
由于日本是经济合作与发展组织成员国中出生时预期寿命最高的国家，日本老年人面临着长期护理(LTC)需求的风险。日本和德国已经实施了公共长期护理保险，两国都希望通过改善社区护理来降低养老院的使用率和支出。在从国际视角回顾日本和德国老年人LTC接受率的基础上，利用INAHSIM (Integrated Analytical Model for Household Simulation) 2018年模拟得出的老年人按抚养水平预测结果，对2020-2070年日本老年人LTC接受率和支出进行了估算。长期护理支出与老龄化密切相关，重要的是通过预防和在系统中采取正确的激励措施来降低长期护理费用接受者的比例。
