Abstract The bond between humans and dogs is precious has been treasured since ancient times. Dog ownership linked to numerous health benefits, such as increased physical activity social functioning decreased depression cardiovascular events. However, can transmit zoonotic diseases humans, many of which present with cutaneous findings. This review summarizes the dermatologic manifestations, transmission routes, diagnosis, treatment transmitted by dogs, including vector‐borne, bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic infections. emphasizes significance clinicians obtaining a comprehensive exposure history when patients exhibit rash unknown origin. Such an approach provide valuable epidemiological clues related diagnosing disease pet dog. Furthermore, identifying dog infection source subsequent veterinary help prevent recurrent infections in patients.

ABSTRACT Background Human populations are rapidly ageing worldwide due to declining birth rates and rising life expectancies. This profound demographic shift presents complex public health challenges. Synthesizing evidence on key issues impacting policy strategies is required address these needs. Methods The study employs narrative literature review based the PubMed database. Data have been extracted challenges its recommended solutions. Results identified include chronic disease burden, risks for preventable multi‐morbidities co‐morbidities, disability dependencies, mental issues, caregiving gaps, long‐term care system deficiencies, inequities, healthcare access barriers, end‐of‐life needs, financial instability, ageism/elder abuse, adverse built environments, climate/disaster threats, social isolation. Evidence‐based responses span interventions in healthcare, services, urban planning, emergency preparedness, economics, technology, anti‐ageism advocacy so on. Conclusions Proactively addressing array of faced by growing globally requires implementing collaborative, multisectoral solutions focused promoting healthy, equitable, socially engaged ageing. Healthcare systems, communities, policies must be optimized meet needs elderly people tap into their strengths.

Climate change is causing serious damage to natural and social systems, as well having an impact on human health. Among the direct effects of climate rise in global surface temperatures increase frequency, duration, intensity severity heat waves. In addition, understanding adaptation process exposed population remains limited, posing a challenge accurately estimating heat-related morbidity mortality. this context, study seeks establish conceptual framework that would make it easier understand organise knowledge about factors may influence process. An inductive approach based grounded theory was used, through analysis case studies connecting concepts. The proposed made up five components (climate change, vulnerability, health risks heat, axes inequality outcomes), three heat-adaptation domains (physiological, cultural political), two levels (individual social), pre-existing before event. application facilitates assistance decision-makers planning implementing effective measures.

Abstract Mosquitoes are significant vectors of various pathogens. Unlike vertebrates, insects rely solely on innate immunity. Hemocytes play a crucial role in the cellular part immune system. The gaseous radical nitric oxide (NO) produced by hemocytes acts against pathogens and also functions as versatile transmitter both nervous systems, utilizing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) second messenger. This study conducted parallel comparison NO synthase (NOS) expression production during Escherichia coli K12 infection four vector species: Aedes aegypti , albopictus Culex pipiens molestus quinquefasciatus . Increased NOS NADPH diaphorase (NADPHd) staining immunofluorescence by-product L-citrulline were observed infected mosquito distributed throughout abdomens. NADPHd activity citrulline labeling particularly found periostial near heart, but ventral nerve chord (VNC). Pericardial cells Ae. Cx. p. showed increased immunofluorescence, suggesting their involvement response. Oenocytes displayed strong independent status. comparative study, consistent with findings other species, suggests widespread phenomenon NO’s hemocyte responses E. infection. Found differences within between genera highlight importance species-specific investigations.

Climate change has significantly altered the dynamics of vector-borne infectious diseases, favoring their proliferation and geographic expansion. Factors such as rising temperatures, frequency extreme weather events, uncontrolled urbanization have increased incidence diseases dengue, Zika, chikungunya, malaria, Lyme disease, especially in vulnerable regions with limited infrastructure. This article presents a narrative review based on recent scientific literature (2018-2025) to assess impact climate vector distribution, co-infections, control strategies. The evidence collected highlights how changing conditions, combined socioeconomic, political, demographic factors, exacerbate public health crises complicate mitigation efforts. It is concluded that facing this challenge requires comprehensive strategy combines environmental management, technological innovation, epidemiological surveillance, community educational programs, promoting coordinated global response reduce associated risks.
